Coinstar, LLC, a leader in self-service coin counting, today announced a new partnership with Allegiance Retail Services, LLC, to install up to 80 Coinstar® kiosks at Allegiance affiliate supermarket banners, including Foodtown in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Allegiance affiliates who sign on to install Coinstar kiosks will receive full functionality coin-counting kiosks with features including coins-to-cash, no fee coin-to-eGift card and charity donation options.
