[QUOTE="bafflez, post: 812126, member: 22174"]Older U.S. Coins and foreign coins sometimes get thrown into the "return" bin on the bottom of the auto-coin counters. I have reached in there a few times and pulled out foreign currency. A gal I knew who cleaned banks said the bank employees would dump the "culls and garbage coins" into the trash bag near the coin counter because they weren't allowed to "take" anything from the machine because they'd get fired. Over the course of 4-5 years she filled an entire Macanudo Cigar box with all kinds of interesting coins which she let me go through. I found an 1889 Morgan, several U.S. Commemoratives, various old tokens, and oodles of Silver foreign coins. We split the money I made selling those off for her. :hail: I'm going to count my change before I go drop of sorted through pennies on Monday and I'll post what the machine counts. Great post and article, thanks! -baff.[/QUOTE]
