Yes, Walmart does have Coinstar Kiosks in most of their stores. These machines are mostly found near billing counters and at entry & exit points at each store. First, take your money out, head to the store, and put them into the Walmart change machine. Once your money has been read, wait for it to print off an official receipt with its total on it.

Customers can opt to donate their funds to charity, or opt to receive an e-gift card which can be used with specific retailers and restaurants.
