[QUOTE="Drago the Wolf, post: 1228123, member: 22476"][URL]http://www.fuzeqna.com/orangecountys/consumer/kbdetail.asp?kbid=1474[/URL] Tells you which coins CoinStar machines do and do not accept: [LIST] [*]1 Cent (except 1943 Steel and Indian head) [*]5 Cent (all, including new design) [*]10 Cent (except Silver 1964 and prior) [*]25 Cent (except Silver 1964 and prior) (including State series) [*]50 Cent (except Silver 1969 and prior) [*]1 Dollar (Susan B Anthony, Sacagawea and newer Presidential series)(except Eisenhower dollars) [/LIST] I don't understand why the CoinStar machines would accept the 1944-46 shell case cents, but not Indian Head cents. I mean, aren't shell case cents a slightly different alloy from the pre and post Lincoln cents? Maybe the CoinStar people knew this, and programmed the machines to take that particular alloy as well and just did not feel it was worth it to program in steel 1943 cents because they are rare. This part of the deal sux: However, these items may not be returned by the processors so it is a good idea to remove such items as Eisenhower silver dollars; 1943 steel pennies; foreign, damaged or sticky coins; pure silver coinage and other debris from your stored coins. If you want to take your coins to a CoinStar machine, you obviously do NOT want to "go through your stash" so why can't the machines just be programed to give you back, what they do not accept. Well, anyway, I just thought some of you guys would like to see this.[/QUOTE]
