Coinstar machine removed from store

The local Safeway grocery store removed their Coinstar machine yesterday.

Has anyone else noticed removals of Coinstar machines where they shop?

My last interesting Coinstar find was a white dime in 2018.

No, I haven't encountered that yet. I have seen a gift card exchange machine removed. What do you mean by "white dime"- a 1964?

 

Not in my area.

 

Yes, my local supermarket used to have a coinstar, then they replaced it for something of their own.

 

Not that long ago I watched a report about cell phone machines causing trouble for honest folk while rewarding thieves.

Just by dropping a cellphone in the machine you were dispensed a predetermined amount of cash.
The autonomous nature of the exchange caused a high degree of pilfering so they had to be removed.

These different types of machines you speak of may have started to become destined to a similar situational fate.

Edit: I have never used a Coinstar machine..

 

We lost our coinstar machine, of course we lost the grocery store too.

 

That sounds far fetched. Please link your source.

 

Agreed, especially when they give a redemption ticket.

 

Never used one in a store but often in my banks. Found a foreign coin that is supposedly rare and worth up to $450 once. And a bunch of damaged pennies

 

Haven't heard of any removals, but lately found a couple silver dimes at Walmart coinstars from their "reject" bins. It's usually clad or empty.
