Well, if the machine actually works and doesn't require a lot of
intervention from me it would be a good deal. If it requires a lot of
TLC then it becomes a waste of my time. Dunno, I've spent hours
rolling 40 or 50 dollars worth of coins before. It takes me a couple
minutes to pour that into the machine. I generally tend to think of
my time as worth more than $5-6 per hour.
Now if I had kids that I could give the task to I'd probably feel
differently, but I don't.
Do you have one of the cheap, mass-market machines? I know the
higher-end ones that people who run arcades and the like are high
quality, but I don't want to spend that much money.
