    There is a perpetual Coinstar finds thread in the CRH forum.

    I walked by the local Coinstar machine this morning and saw a bright penny and a dime.
    I picked them up, the penny was a recent zinc coin and the dime looked funny. It was a 1952-D dime.

    :)

    The CoinStar agreed that it looked funny. Tasted funny, too, I'll bet.

    Edit: not sure how I missed this thread on its previous appearances. I'd heard "Carter quarter" for SBA dollars, but never "Reagan cent" for Zincolns. I'll keep it in mind.

    Did you give them the devil about lying that you fed the machine "pennies" instead of "cents"? ;)

    masterswimmer A Caretaker, can't take it with me

    Ed, why pay the 12.9% fee? Why not just roll them yourself and deposit it into your own account?

    So I was in Wally world One of my son went in to purchase something I had to use the facilities but next to them was a coin star machine. I walked up to it and found 2bunches of coins , mostly Pennies some dimes and a few quarters. I love coin star.

    I get the lazy part. But it was only $120. Shouldn't have been too time consuming.
    Besides, there truly is no 'making up the loss with finding gold'. The loss stands.

    I look at the coinstar every time I go to Walmart. I have found nothing after doing this for two or three months.

    Don’t quit. I have a jug of all kinds of Canada money from coin star. Now if I only could find the coin books. That would kill a weekend

    Do you dump boxes of coins at a time. I would only dump my change jug. Just asking

    OK, there's a good argument that you can't really argue with :D
    I'm not that familiar with the pay schedule, but a gift card is free I thought?
    Use it for groceries?

    You should visit and come detect with me for a year.
    You will change your mind. The "loss" belongs to the people who have lost the huge amount of valuables over the decades to be found by me. It doesn't bother me one bit for the fees charged. Besides, most of the coins are probably going to be pulled aside most likely not acceptable for circulation. They have environmental toning damage :yack:

    I am never rolling these up for deposit :yack:
