and why is such ursury permitted?

The thing that got me about Coinstar was that they offer to send the
money to a charity. And still charge almost exactly the same amount.
Plus they make it non-viable for any but a few charities to actually get
signed up with them at all.


The ones I've seen charge no commission at all if you opt to donate to
charity.
