Coinstar Kiosks Swapping Cash For Bitcoins

Coinme, a company that offers bitcoin ATMs, has teamed up with Coinstar to make it easier to get your hands on the digital currency. Under the new partnership, Coinstar machines will allow users to swap their cash for bitcoin, bringing the cryptocurrency to one’s local grocery store or convenience shop. After inserting money into the machine, Coinstar users get a voucher for bitcoin.

There are just four simple steps to purchase Bitcoin at a Coinstar kiosk, powered by Coinme:

1. Go to a select Coinstar kiosk, touch “Buy Bitcoin,” review and accept the transaction terms, and enter your phone number.
2. Insert U.S. paper money into the cash acceptor (any amount up to $2,500).
3. Receive a voucher with a Bitcoin redemption code.
4. Visit www.coinme.com/redeem to create a Coinme account or sign in to your existing account to claim your Bitcoin.

Only U.S. cash is accepted for purchase, and coins cannot be used for Bitcoin transactions. Kiosk locations can be found at www.coinme.com/kiosks or www.coinstar.com.
