Reject Tube & Coinstar Finds

It's just an opening on the front of the machine. You can't miss it.

 

i thought you needed a key to access it?

 

That is a completely different thing. The reject slot isn't much bigger than a coin return slot on a coke machine.

 

oh, that. i thought those coins were from the person putting in his coins? how would you find silver if they are your coins and you already searched through em?

P.S. i am very new to this, used one once.

 

Silver coins are rejected because they weigh more than clad cupronickel coins.

I never thought to look in the reject slot and I was very skeptical at first, but the very first time I ever looked in the slot I found a silver 1917 French 50 centimes coin. I also found a 1905-O Barber dime in the same machine a few weeks later.

 

so the reject slot is this:

 

Deep in the machine, I found the mother load of coins. Some idiot thought it says "Please put your change jar UNDER the machine so we can rip off 12%!" In the mess, i found coins with crap on them, ugly 1957d nickel, and a 1940 nickel. I looked under ans i think i saw an edge of a silver dime. I couldn't reach it. Next time I'm bringing my paint stick.

 

2007 Mexico 10 centavos and a 2008 Canadian 5 center.

 

I would have found a way to reach it. I would have gotten a dowel rod or something long and slender enough to reach the dime. It's silver, and I will go to extremes for silver.

 

Found a 1964 Dime in my local banks coin reject slot.

Also got a 1943 P war nickel from 711 change

 

Searched $100 in nickels, $25 in cents and they were not too exciting. So I took them to my credit union and found these in the reject slot:



Zowwweee - the usual stuff that when I find it I am thankful for something but wished for more.
























Oh that is right, there were a couple of other pieces in with the detritus above:



Sweetest find since last summer, same machine at the same credit union I found a '32 Washer and a '45-S Roosie. These are my first and second oldest coin machine finds ever. Kind of makes me wonder what the machine accepted. Fortunately my teller is going to go sniffing around in the bags when they are full.

 

I looked again and I think it was a ugly '81 nickel. That or it was too deep.

 

i think i am going to see if i can get access to the reject tube (it is inside the machine) and look through it, i will most likely not, but its worth a shot!

 

I live in an urban area, so anything in the reject slot is going to be quickly snatched up by a homeless person/bottle redeemer type, but I took the advice of checking on TOP of the machine.

Found: 1975 Canadian dime, 1990 UK five pence, 1 very dusty hand

Will be checking the tops of machines more often now. The upside is that any silver that's found in the reject slot is probably scooped up by someone who doesn't know what they've got - meaning it'll get spent locally and either given in change or put into a roll back at the bank.

 

Yesterday found a 45-D Merc, and a Canadian 5c from two different machines. Today found a couple of smaller insignificant finds in the green machines, but this was my last stop when I was done at work:



Nothing old, silver etc. But a nice quantity driven little haul from the green machine.

 

The coinstar machine near where I work at coughed up nothing but foreign garbage until today. The fruits of my labor...2 silver dimes, a 64-D and 53-D.

I was surprised to say the least!

 

A 64-D Rosie, a 2011-D Rosie, 2 CAD quarters and a CAD dime from the grocery store Coinstar.

 

Technically these coins weren't in the reject tube, but ill post anyway
there was a canvas bag next to the coinstar machine and I decided to see if anything was left in them. There was a bunch of 1960-66 cents including an 1960 small date. On top of the machine was a Canadian ten cent...

 

14 $1 coins from the machine at the bank (the machine has a sign that says "DO NOT PUT DOLLAR COINS THROUGH MACHINE", but i guess some people cant read.
