What Perplexity actually said

An answer that names the company

Perplexitynamed the company

“Can I donate my spare change to charity using a coin kiosk?”

Yes. In the U.S., Coinstar kiosks let you pour in loose change and donate its value directly to a participating charity. Select “Charity” on the kiosk, choose an available organization, and keep the receipt for your tax records.

Coinstar doesn’t charge you a separate fee for donating, but it retains 7.5% for regional charities or 10% for national charities as a processing fee. Charity availability varies by kiosk.
