Folks at Coinstar were very smart to put their machines at Walmart. With the low level of education of their customers, you can’t expect them to understand why it’s such a terribly stupid idea to use Coinstar. There should be a mandatory financial education 101 class in public high schools, so that poor people’s kids learn early how to manage their money wisely, the same way wealthy parents teach their kids.
