It is a virtual certainty that someone is dumping these from a collection to recover their face value. The quarter machine is close to the point they are being dumped. That it has happened before implies that it is an ongoing event but it could be two different dumpers. If you find out who is filling the machine you could trace it back to the source bank by that time there may be no more. Dumps like this gradually filter away from the source and by the time you see them they are usually loners and only AU condition.[/QUOTE]
