Obviously this is not helpful to those who order tons of coins, but for those who order small orders, $100 at a time to buy groceries or even gift cards at grocery stores would seem reasonable.
The only grocery store I have ever used my coins at is Aldi. Since they don't take credit cards, I find it perfect for using the coins. Of course I don't spend too much at Aldi, only $20 or $30 at a time, so it's not too cumbersome to bring the coins in.
