[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 1194315, member: 27832"]I saw an older woman feeding the CoinStar in the grocery a week or so ago, and heard some coins hitting the reject slot. She tried a few times to put them through, then gave up. I tried to get through the line and talk to her, but by the time I finished, she'd visited the service counter and left. When I walked by the CoinStar, I spotted one coin left in the edge of the reject tray -- a '46 Roosie. I went up to the service counter and asked if people ever bring coins that the CoinStar rejects. The guy said "yeah, we'll usually take them". I asked if a lady had just brought some coins by; he said, "yeah, some dimes". Long story short, I got to look through the dime tray and pulled four more silver Roosies. So, 40 cents for 5 silver dimes. I really wonder how much silver [I]doesn't[/I] get rejected, though. I've just got to get up my nerve to accost people who're trying to re-feed coins through. (I've only done it once, and it turned out what they had was sticky pennies. :()[/QUOTE]
