My first idea, which usually isn't the best had to do with superheroes.
image: Batman rolling his change
all frustrated. bat signal shining in
the backgroundheadline: Wholly Tedious Tasks!
tageline: Coinstar saves the day
same idea with Superman:
headline: There's nothing super about excess change.
and Wonder Woman
headline: Wondering what to do with all that change.
tag line same on all

how about something to do with landromats or parking meters, like them being opposite of coinstar machines or some shit.
everytime I take my change to the bank, I need it for something, is my point.

How about a bunch of fans and paparazzi crowds of people around Coin"star"? or anything that would show coinstar as a star?
nevermind.

well the machines do make cash.
so that fame thing could be an angle. I gotta say rock star came to my head right away, and I thought it might be too obvious

ibye those are good ideas! you may have a knack for this advertising stuff.

how bout showing customers repeatedly tipping their waiter with change.
"hey big spender, this is not the place to unload your change."

which ones in particular?

the super hero series is cool IMO. but really it depends on the treatment.
i also like the guy picking his nose. the slacker vibe might just work for coinstar, but not sure if thats the angle they would appreciate.

I might sound silly but what does IMO mean?
Yeah, I was going for the slacker
college market.I just need my teachers to appreciate it.

maybe a slot machine comparison?

Coinstar... Better than Pac Man.
will work with their pothead clientele.
- ibye0
why is it better than pac-man?
cause you get cash back
(also don't forget you lose 8%
on the dollar)

I guess.
