Coinstar Totals - Saving up for our next trip to PR

Hello everyone,
I made a trip to my local Coinstar machine at lunchtime. I took metal detected change, coins found in meters and coins found on the ground. I do this every 4 months.



I'm saving this money for our fourth trip this year to Puerto Rico! We are going away for 3 days at the end of September.

I got excited when I saw the heading in my email, I thought you were totaling YTD or lifetime CoinStar finds.

 

More for more coins!

 

Isn’t that about 13.5 percent? I’d roll and take them to the bank.

 

I have a little more free time and I roll my own. That's a nice total, Ed.

 

I'm getting ready for a visit myself..I go when the gallon jug is full but I go to my local credit union which has their own "coinstar" and as I have an account don't cost me nothing to dump the change

 

No kidding. Who do they think they are, eBay?

 

Save the processing fee at a credit union or take it to your local casino.

 

They won't take most of the coins I get rid of.
Many have environmental exposure toning damage. I clean them the best that I can and just dump them into the Coinstar. I've been doing this for years and not really concerned about the processing fees.

I don't do casinos. I wouldn't even want to enter one.

Thanks for your concern though.

Oh, and I'm sure you have seen my finds for all my detecting trips. Look at the Cupronickel coins..

 

Nice Haul Paddy.
How often do you jam up a coin star machine?
I'm assuming you tumble the coins? Maybe add in some stainless steel shot.
