    Great question...we have people on here who are totally anal and have a route they check on an ongoing basis. I only know of a couple where I live and seldom have ever find anything...however...on a trip to Las Vegas, we were in a supermarket and I checked the CoinStar on the way out and...cha ching...got something like $8 out of the return slot. You never know

    Infrequently for me. Apparently they don't even have one at Wal-Mart in Livingston. Else it's hidden. I was going to empty a cup of pennies into it. The one at HEB was broken last time I was in there. And there has been flooding and such since then.

    Nothing special, wishhin that 43 was a 44. Love Mexican coins though Also came with a grip load of sticky coins. And something I thought was a water logged penny, that sounds different than the other pennies

    sitting on top of the machine - 3 Canadian quarters, 3 Canadian dimes.

    Do they have Coinstar machines in Canada? I've got a pretty good stash ready to go.

    Apparently they move them around some... I noticed they moved one here from the customer service area out to the entry way. I used to drive all over the Southeast and stopped at around 70 different Walmarts over the course of that time. I personally never saw one without a Coinstar. They are almost always near the service desk or in one of the entry areas. In a few, they are near the exit...(these are the smaller stores with only one entrance) Yours not having one is the first I've ever heard of.

    I suppose it COULD be out by the soft drink machines.
    But in any case I didn't find it.

    Yes, they have coinstar in Canada, at least in British Columbia.

    What's the date on the wheatie? I only got a dime today. They are often camouflaged on the grill.

    The very first time I ever checked out a Coinstar machine — about an hour ago — I was shocked to see that there were literally thousands of pennies sitting in the bin and there was a sign on the screen that said that the machine was not accepting coins at this time. I must admit that I took a minute or two to make a fast scan of that heap of coins, and they all looked like filthy late Lincoln Memorial cents. I had no means of collecting these coins, but thought about taking a pair of rubber gloves and a few coffee cans over there to scoop them all up. One must be prepared for such joy every time one ventures out to go Coinstaring, it appears.

    Honestly, I was afraid to stick my hands into them. If I did not have other errands to run I would have put my merchandise in the car, gone back in the store to buy some of those kitchen rubber gloves and used a couple of plastic shopping bags to carry them out. Upon arriving home, I would have put them into a bucket of warm water for a rinse before actually handling any of them.
