    Just had to brag as I never see money in these machines but that changed today, I was amazed like a child in a candy store! lol.gif

    Wow. I guess they just never check the reject bin?

    That's good.

    You've probably seen my best latest Coinstar reject tray find.
    Lot's of silver and miscellaneous coins :woot:

    On two different occasions I went to my local Check Cashing location to check the Coinstar. I saw a customer putting coins so I waited outside until they were done. They finished, grabbed the slip with the amount and ran to the cashier window. They didn't even look at the reject tray. I entered, looked, saw a few coins and grabbed them quick. They weren't anything major. A few foreign coins and some crusty US coins. So you're right. Many people don't check.
    And sometimes we score as I did with my big silver! :cool:

    I occasionally find 2 or 3 coins, but nothing like that. Nice.

    Yep, you definitely have great access to overlooked coin returns, I was shocked as that was my first significant find at $4.16! :D

    So far I've mostly found nasty zinc cents or coins that the machine didn't accept for some reason, But I have found a few foreign coins and one silver dime.
