[QUOTE="2manycoins, post: 3617949, member: 105423"]Hi, Hoping this is posted in correct thread. I'm involved with a public park that features a very popular fountain for coin throwing. We generally pull around $3,000 - $5,000/year of coins from this fountain. While I approve of the sentiment, these coins have become a nuisance from an operational standpoint. They are wet, generally dirty, and labor intensive to deal with. We've been hand-rolling as fast as possible, but we're being overwhelmed. Does anyone have experience dealing with this type of situation? We would love to be able to keep some of the profit, but would be more than happy to come up with a solution to just get them off our hands! Things we've tried: - Coin Star: does not accept dirty/damaged/wet coins - Hand Rolling: too slow, labor intensive - Donating: Most orgs I've spoken to will only accept rolled coins or cash Let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions![/QUOTE]
