    My wife hates me to go to Stop and Shop in my town, They have a coin star and I went today. Checked the reject slot and found a silver dime (1960-D). Thats like finding a dollar at the current silver rate. That machine seems to reject any silver coin.

    That's funny because I just recently discovered this trick and I thought I was the only one who was onto it. I found two Canadian dimes so far but I've only tried it twice.

    I checked the rejection slot at the bank and I found a UNC Dime with a die crack through the coin.

    i need to try this. most people around here, will keep taking the coin out of the reject tray and putting it back in the machine. they finally give up and throw it into the little trash can beside the machine..

    so maybe take a little look into the garbage bin next to it. nobody throws real garbage in it, its there for discarding your bags or whatever you bring your coins in. so its not that nasty, but will take a few weird looks for some silver!

    thanks for the tip. I see them all over town. I am going to start checking them. There is one at my credit union that rejects half dollars.

    People just forget to look in the slot that rejects the coins. I just check the slots and usualy there's a couple wheat cents in there. It is a great way to start a collection.

    After reading this thread, I went down to the local grocery store and checked the reject slot. Sure enough, I found a Canadian Millennium quarter. I was so excited because I have been trying to find them. Thanks so much for the tip.
