Coinstar reject bin finds

If you know to whom the coins belong and/or hover in order to get them to forget, it's called stealing.

Just my 2 cents.

i found two US quarters last night that were REALLY stuck together - like with cement or something. I checked out at the store and the groceries came to $10.45. I handed the cashier a 10 dollar bill plus my '50 cent piece' and tried to keep a straight face. She tried to take the quarters apart, couldn't, shrugged her shoulders and put it in the drawer.

 

First time I came across one I was a kid with my grandpa. We found a few dollars worth in change in the reject bin (yeah, you read that correctly). The change wasn't strange, just normal, no idea why it was there. So we scooped up most of it into our grocery bags. Since then I've only found some cents and foreign coins.

 

Only thing it turns up near me is grocery stores and Wal-Marts.

 

It sounds as if you're looking for justification of your actions, while deep down, you know it was wrong. If you didn't think that, you wouldn't be asking

The only rejections I "find" are my own...lol.

 

There is always someone hovering when I make my dumps at the coinstar machine. I feel like saying "don't worry, I know to check the rejection slot when I'm done".

 

They are in those stores!!! Mine are in a walmart, krogers, & randalls.

I've seen lots of $$$ in the hopper/reject bins at the toll road ramps - as good if not better than Coinstar. Have seen as much as $50 in quarters, dimes and nickels. They accumulate on the reject bin and hopper when the coin counter jams up at the automated entrance and exit ramps. Plus there's plenty on the ground from when people miss the hopper.

 

How do you get access to those?? I think here you would get arrested here!!!

Sorry, but I am a bit disappointed. Couldn't someone have answered what a coinstar machine is? No need to now, as I will just take some jars of change to the store and find out myself. All I wanted to know was what comes out of the machine? Paper money? A debit card? What? A charge for this? I have never used this machine, nor have I ever used an ATM machine. I don't have a debit card, and I can't say much about gift cards.

Sorry I asked, and if future, I'll know to just google if I have a question.



p.s. I shouldn't have asked; silly me.

 

You put your coins in and the machine prints a receipt that you take to the cashier. They give you money minus the % coinstar charges. Sometimes you can get a gift card and not be charged the fee.

 

Found 3 cents on one today... all common.

 

I've found silver Quarters and Dimes. Mexican and Canadian coins. Some Euro coins and some I can't identify. Game tokens also.

 

Yeah, but I was asking after the ones in banks. Apparently they're often free of surcharges, and sometimes the bank personnel can open them to swap out bags. You don't see that in stores.

I did find a friendly customer-service person at my local Kroger who got the key to open their machine, but it also required a PIN, which she didn't have. Oh, well.

 

I'm sure your bank teller could tell you which locations have them.

Over the weekend I found a 1956 Canadian 5 cent coin, the 12 sided variety. But for me the best find was the 43 philly cent - yup, yet another steel cent. I have found 8-9 of them in coinstar reject bins over the past couple of years. My all time best find in the reject bin was the '41 Merc.

Found a 5 euro cent, 10 euro cent, and what I belive to be a russian coin. I haven't checked my book yet.

 

Most recent coinstar finds (in reject bin) - US: 1 clad Kennedy half-dollar, 1 2007-D dime, 1 1982 cent. Great Britain: 3 one cent coins (1973, 1985, 1996). Spain: 1 2-Cent euro (2000). Tokens: 1 Dave and Busters (2002).

Nothing in the debris box inside.
