    The reverse of this coin had a layer of silicon on it, so it could have "bounced" out of the reject tray.

    I have a theory about why there are coins left in the reject bin even after the screen says to check it. When people are done dumping their hoard into the tray and some rejects fall below, for whatever reason, some people probably remove the rejects and reinsert them into the tray hoping they'll be accepted the second time through. When they are rejected a second time for the same reason they were rejected the first time, they resolve themselves to the fact that they are exactly that, rejects, and they proceed to leave them behind.

    Wow silver dime Sweet!!! Kewl design on that pence....nice score...Congrats....2 b honest its seems to me the factor why people leave them is...here in San Antonio many grocery stores hv the coinstar machine next 2 the scratch tickets. Iv seen when people bring there coins and 2me many seem more embarrassed than anything. I stood next to them and as I hear coins fall they are really just wanting 2 get it done and get there ticket. Many dont take it out cause they just grab there ticket and almost run...LOL and well I say Cha-Ching!!! 4me....but thats my opinion.

    That’s weird! Idk what’s wrong with some people. Several years ago I found an entire 50-coin roll of 90% silver dimes in the reject slot. Absurd!

    I've only been checking the Coinstar machines for a few months now. But Monday there was this lone 50-D dime in the reject tray. My first silver find in a Coinstar

    I've found numerous lone silver coins over the years in my local Coinstar and one time found over $20 in assorted common change in the reject slot. So I was psyched when I saw numerous coins in the return yesterday, but they all turned out to be fairly recent and from the Bahamas, totaling about $3.40. Strangely though, they were almost all AU but not the same years. Made me wonder if a tourist did a funds exchange at a bank and never used the coins. But why all the pennies then? Interesting.

    Out of curiosity, are all those Bahamian one-cent coins dated 2015? I had a Coinstar find similar to yours a few years ago myself, albeit significantly smaller.

    Yes, all dated 2015. Now I'm even more intrigued.

    Add me to the "pile of Bahamas" team. I saw a dozen or more coins in the reject bin at the local Harris-Teeter a few days ago, and they turned out to be mostly Bahamas one-cent and five-cent coins. I like the look of them, but already have a few, so I left them on the counter for someone else who might want them.
