[QUOTE="willieboyd2, post: 8543840, member: 4910"]I had an interesting Coinstar find today. The local supermarket Coinstar machine has produced less material since it was moved next to the employee break room. Today I walked by it and saw two obviously not US coins in the bottom. One was a Russia (Soviet Union) 15 Kopeck coin dated 1987. The other was a token issued by the Sears Company (Sears, Roebuck and Company) in 1986 celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty and the 100th anniversary of the founding of the company. It was made from copper extracted from the restoration of the statue which started in 1982 and was completed in 1986.
