Reject Tube & Coinstar Finds

We must be watching different scientific reports on TV. The way I understand it, airborne virus potential is short lived. Of course, if you live in one of those states with the big scare, your opinion is understandable.

So you're under the misguided assumption that all the product on the shelves miraculously appear there every day? No stock person moved them from the carton to the shelf?
How about the person off loading the truck at store level?
Nobody loaded the truck on the distribution end either?
How'd it get to the distribution center?
Nobody manufactured the product?
Did the produce miraculously harvest itself, leaving the ground and suddenly appear under the gentle rain of the misting system?

Our stores in NY are also heavily controlled for customer compliance. Your logic is flawed thinking the customer is the only human interaction our food chain experiences.

As a matter of fact, since mid March grocery shopping has sucked. Why? Because the act of shopping itself is a pain, but the laborious act of physically washing and drying everything we purchase is even worse. Yes, as god is my witness, we do wash and dry all our groceries. This 'new normal' is a burden in sooo many ways.

 

I refuse to accept this condition as the new normal.

 

Where is here?

 

I used to get interesting finds surprisingly regularly, lately I think the store employees are checking the machine after every customer.

Best find: 80 silver dimes
Last find: over a year ago

 

Had my first sorta find since Corona started up Sunday. Two corroded zincolns. I didn't even bother taking them. Hopefully this means people are starting to use the machine again and there will be more finds soon...

 

Biggest find in a while. Freaking pandemic bag of steaming manure.

 

3 US dimes
2 US cents
1 CDN dime
From a coinstar.

 

My first coinstar find in quite a while came yesterday when I found a Canadian 25¢ piece. Strangest thing about it—to me, at least—is that there are two dates on it, one on each side. But they are not the same.

The reverse has a hockey player along with Vancouver 2010. The obverse has QEII with the date 2007. I assume this is some sort of commemorative to the greatness of the violent sport of hockey.

 

The Canadian mint did a series of Olympic coins from 2007-2009 to celebrate the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. I think 8 different Olympic sports were featured. I have a couple. Ice skating and hockey I think.

 

Mine was a 1946 dime

 

Obviously the prior user did check the discharge chute! I was the beneficiary of 149 pennies, 2 nickels, 4 dimes, two quarters, and 1 Presidential dollar.

 

Coin star has been weak these last few months. I am finding more stuff on my pandemic walks around the neighborhood. I did pull this 1937 today from CS.

 

As I said, I found a dollar bill in the street on my walk this AM.

 

Today I went to my local Safeways, and noticed a quarter in the coinstar reject tray so I scooped the quarter out and it was a 1948-p silver quarter. So I continued shopping and saw a old man using the coinstar when he left I checked the rejects again and found a 1964-D quarter and a 1964-D dime. Is the 2020 coin shortage increasing the amount of silver in circulation?

 

Pandemic walk tonight. An Asian coin (Chinese?) aluminum, with a 1 on it and Asian characters. Then ten seconds later a quarter.
I've found a lot the last few months, but I haven't been posting it, because they weren't coin star finds.

 

One Yen

 

Got lucky today while going to get supplys from the store. Looked in the coinstar and found this. Its not a 16 d sadly

 

Yesterday found a quarter "near" the coin star. But it wasn't CS spillage.
Tonight a quarter on my pandemic walk.
