Coinstar Does…JCPenney?

This commercial’s redeeming qualities? Women in short dresses wearing high heels. A catchy tune that alludes to something other than what the commercial’s actually selling. Nice legs. Nice graphics. Gymnastics. And lots of coinage.

What’s it for? Apparently there’s a really big need for a vending machine that will convert your spare change into paper money. We thought banks did that. Oh right. Who wants to deal with a bitchy teller when you can deal with an emotionless machine?

Yea. That’s it. It all makes sense now. Except the whole thing still looks like a JCPenney commercial.
