I'm sure you all might know this, but if not, here's a payback tip for the group and all the replies... I've found several steel cents in a place some might never think to look. Coinstar style machines. Actual coinstar brand machines have have a coin return tray and don't employ magnets. But the non coinstar machines have magnets just below the collection point.... and well, within finger reach. I'll give you three guesses what those magnets catch, and two don't count.
