Found a few US quarters, a couple of Canadian coins and one or two other miscellaneous in the Kroger machine last time. Left it on the counter for the next checker.

 

The ordinary three cruddy zincolns and this:



87 year old German pfennig minted in Berlin. Curiously the bundle of wheat was a design considered for the 2010 Lincoln cent reverse but was rejected because of the similarity to this design.

 

Not like

 

A grand total of 6 cents spread over three different machines today. Not as kewl as yesterday's find.

 

Sweet find scottishmoney! Is that similar to cent size? Someone may have mistaken it for an ordinary LMC.

And sweet find to you as well LordM, great detail for a 14D!

 

It is a couple of mm smaller than the cent, I saw the 1 on the reverse and thought at first it was a token until I turned it over and saw the shaft of wheat.

@lordmarcovan I visit a lot of stores as a result of my job - believe me only about 1 out of 10 times has even a measly cent in the slot. Sometimes I go a week or more with nothing then wham bam I find loads of stuff in several machines - sort of like they come out of the woodwork.

 

Reminds me of when I found a Japanese occupied China 10 Fen from 1940 roll hunting nickels.

 

The new Bahamas cents are about the size of the pfennig coin - and I am finding those at a rate of a couple a month.

 

Coinstar finds have been slow this week, for whatever reason things were hopping in May but have slowed down a bit this month. I am slightly paranoid maybe the employees noticed me checking and started doing it themselves. I did get an unusual find yesterday though, an 1824 Mexican 1/8 real, unfortunately it's a copy though

 

Two lousy Lincolns were all I had to show for the many machines I saw yesterday.

 

5 singular cents, one being a 1942 wheat however

 

A zincoln, a YH Canadian, and a dime.

 

You must live in a high class area with a lot of money or something lol. Or you don't check enough. I found a coin from Taiwan yesterday!! Find so much. Lol

 

I got a '44P war nickel from the self checkout at the grocery today.

 

Managed to find about 80 cents American today but nothing special among them.
