Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods are described herein for incentivizing consumers to recycle their accumulated change at consumer-operated coin counting kiosks. In various embodiments, the methods can include providing users with a plurality of deals on, e.g., leisure time activities and other rewarding goods and services that they can purchase at the coin counting kiosks in return for loose coins. The systems can include a software application, e.g., a mobile application that can be used to obtain user deal preferences and periodically provide users with deal offers that match their preferences and/or the amount of coin value they may have available to put toward a purchase. Other embodiments of the disclosed technology enable multiple users to purchase deals (e.g., group activities) as a group by making individual contributions toward the purchase price via a network of coin counting kiosks.
