The Titanic star was spotted with her children Mia and Joe taking the big bag of coins to a New York bank to change into notes.
Kate Winslet has shown that even Oscar-winning stars count their pennies as she was spotted cashing in $75 in loose change.
The Titanic star was spotted with her children Mia and Joe taking the big bag of coins to a New York bank to change into notes.
Winslet, who recently split from husband Sam Mendes, then got flustered when the bank told her she could not convert the coins because she did not have an account there — leading a Good Samaritan behind her to help.
After converting the coins, Winslet removed her sunglasses — and only then did her helper realize who she was.
“Oh my — are you Kate Winslet?!” he stammered, to the amusement of onlookers at the Chase bank.
Winslet laughed and nodded, and later was overheard telling the chivalrous Samaritan that her kids were about to spend the day with the baby-sitter while she headed to work shooting her new miniseries Mildred Pierce.
