Strange clad Canadian field day on the rejects... ($2.05 worth!) I actually broke off the tube on one of the machines (the teller didn't notice!), but I got a '62 Canadian dime.

 

2x 1 euro, 1x2 euro, 2 swiss Franc & a '67 half

 

5 pence, '64 dime.

 

Probably from a much smaller bank(we're talking they now have 3 branches since they were opened in 1895!) but finds none the less-

Australia 5 cents 1993

Honduras 20 centavos 1994

Honduras 20 centavos 1994

Honduras 50 centavos 1978

Kuwait 20 Mils 2009

Kuwait 20 Mils 2009

Kuwait 50 Mils 1974

Syria 2 pounds 1992

A note on these, I know that the depositor of most of the change that goes into my bank is a transit authority so that these coins must have come into the fare boxes. I have to imagine the Kuwaiti coins could have come from a serviceman, the Honduran coins from a visitor there or a migrant worker from there - but the Syrian coin?

 

found a 11 cent piece :rollling:

 

I work at a steel recycling company and we have a huge ass grinding maching that chews up all the metal (up to 1"thick) and all teh steel goes to one area and everything else goes to another and then has machines that sort out the aluminum brass copper ect. well there is a person that pulls out any garbage that is is with the aluminum in in the aluminum is COINS! but 80% of them are damaged pretty badly,
so i had some of these messed up coins and went to the coinstar and probably had about 20 or so coins that where bent and didnt think much about it figuring that the machine would just kick them back to the coin return,
well it didnt it jammed up the maching and they had to call a manager over and open the machine and i got the spoils of what where in reject trays 4 diffrent trays if i remember correctly
got 2 1976 dollars
1 1976 clad quarter that had a bezel on it
a couple of those pennies that you make in a machine for like a dollar from like the space needle or a zoo or something
2 10 euro little tinny coins
an indian head pennny cant tell the year or anything in really bad condition
and like another 2 bucks in random coins

so the lesson,,,
put some bent coins in,, jam the machine and hope they give you the stuff in the reject slots inside the machine

 

'38 Merc, plus a handfull of New Zealand coins (2 & 1 Dollar, 50 cents, 2x 20 cents).

 

'61 dime, 1 pound coin, 20 cent Euro, 4 SBA's & an MTA bridge token.

 

Found a 2004-S proof silver quarter

 

Inquisitive: Out of curiosity, what is your current total? Do you keep count? I can't find diddly squat in central Illinois. Also, what is a bridge token? (We don't have bridges in central IL either).

 

Yes they're bridge tokens, MTA basically covers all the bridges and tunnels that connect NY with itself.

In the NY area you get tons of tokens for the bridges/tunnels/highways around here, and I seem to get a ton of them for various arcades and theme parks as well.

 

I don't separate these finds from roll finds.

3 Roosies (2x64, 63) and a 100 Yen coin.

 

Found $.55 in Canadian and another steel wheat cent over the weekend.
My machines obviously don't reject silver so it least it gets back in the boxes for me to search.

Three 25 cent tokens from the Greektown Casino in Detroit and pure nickel 5 cent coin from 1974 and a 25 cent from 1978 and a couple of bent new steelies.

 

Are you in Windsor?

 

Far from it.

 

Weird finding those Greektown tokens then. I don't remember when they stopped using those, but it's been a while.

 

Another two Roosies & 3x 1 Shekel Israeli coins.

 

I didn't know they ever used tokens. I have walked through the casino once going from the People Mover(still does use really boring tokens) to my hotel there. I have been to the casino in Windsor years ago, they did use tokens then but I never kept any of them - my best memory of that casino was seeing the only $1000 bill from the 1988 series(Canadian of course).
