Reject Tube & Coinstar Finds

I'm old.
What's a CoinStar? Is that an ocean liner?

It's a machine that you put change in and you get the money on your credit card. (But sadly it steals 10% of it as a tax)

 

Wow @Kentucky look at all those error coins!!

 

The problem with the mangled coins, I can't turn them in to my CU anymore. I used to take them in once a year, (metal detecting, Coin Star) so that's a beat.
Today I saw some dimes in the slot, which sometimes means silver.
Just 33 cents but not mangled at all.

 

You must not live in the hood

 

Coin Star delivers my 1st Cuban coin. 1963 5 centavos. I believe it was illegal to buy or sell Cuban coins in the US for many years because of the Godless Communists threat to democracy. "I eat octopus 3 times a day." Tony Montana

 

Neat find. They are Aluminum. Seems to have held up well.

 

Yes I thought it was alum before I looked it up because it is so light.
And I thought the same. Aluminum coins wear easily.

 

That’s a good find.

 

I found this not to long ago. A nice sturdy coin.

 

What country is this from?

 

@SensibleSal66, I'm an expert on monarchies around the world (40+years in this particular field). That coin's obverse is Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg.

 

First silver in a long time

Great find with the Roosevelt!

 

There was a small pile in the return slot at Harris-Teeter yesterday -- one Jordan, one UAE, six from Turkey. Not in my wheelhouse, so I left them on the counter for other folks to wonder about. I hope they don't just get swept into the trash, though.

 

Keyed a dime that was stuck in the acceptor slot, and a dime on the grill.
Not like the old days when people were leaving gold doubloons and diamond rings in the return slot.

 

@Michael K, really?! Can't imagine how diamond rings got "lost" in those things....

 

The other day there were 5 dilapidated zincolns in the slot. I had to throw them away since I can't turn in mutilated coins anymore. If they get rejected by the self serve machines, (sometimes I can clean up a coin enough and hand pay it to a cashier at the fruit store) they are trash.
