[QUOTE="paddyman98, post: 24639034, member: 44615"]Hello everyone, A few days ago I went to check out the reject bin of a CoinStar machine near my church. I was excited to see the bin full so I grabbed all the coins, stuck them in my pocket and quickly left the cashier place! There were the normal finds such as .79 Cents in US Coins. I don't know why most of these were rejected.. [ATTACH=full]1567619[/ATTACH] A mix of foreign coins - Obverse & Reverse sides.. [ATTACH=full]1567620[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1567621[/ATTACH] o_O And then there was this craziness :confused: 52 Copper Plated Zinc Cents But all of them were altered in such a way that were a bit wider than a normal Cent. I have no idea why someone would do this. They were bent in such a way that some were cup shaped and/or twisted. Kind of reminded me of altered Texas Cents where they put a Cent between 2 pieces of leather and hit it with a hammer to make them wider. [ATTACH=full]1567622[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1567623[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1567624[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1567625[/ATTACH] I just thought it was a very strange find so I wanted to share :yack:[/QUOTE]
