Reject Tube & Coinstar Finds

Wouldn't it be nice to find gold? Such as a 20 dollar double eagle? silver sounds nice, but gold sounds fun too.

Unlikely but possible. Some things I don't even think about, and if they happen, they happen.
If a gold were to happen, it would most likely be a ring, or a penny sized recent small bullion one.

 

I thought i read someone on here found a 2 1/2 dollar coin in the reject bin... was a while ago... anyone else recall this?

 

I have seen that one, I think that was on a different forum, I am pretty sure it was on collectors universe.

 

That would be sweet. But you have to figure 1 find like that (if real) in thousands of machines and millions of people looking over (10 years?).
I have heard of people finding rings.

 

I remember someone finding something gold one time on here. I don't remember exactly what it was. U.S. or foreign. Was a while ago though. Maybe a couple years.

 

I seem to remember someone finding a tiny $1 gold in the trash chute when they opened the machine to service it. The place where the lint, nails, junk like that ends up.

 

Mangled quarter on the shelf. I will be bringing in my years worth of mutilated coins in a few days. Hoping the program is still going.

 

Is there a program for mangled coins? I have a bunch of them!

 

I have brought my mutilated coins in the last 2 years, and hope to do the same this year. Go to your bank and ask first, I clean and count them. They will have to count them anyway, but just a courtesy.
The program was suspended, but then it was brought back.
I had asked a teller at my C.U. if the mint destroys old beat up coins the way the Fed does with worn out bills and he said yes.
Then I read some criminals were buying TONS of fake Kennedy halves (for almost nothing) that were already mangled or they mangled them, and then they were turning them in by the thousands to get redeemed. Claiming they were pulled out of cars that were junked/ or shipped overseas or something. Meanwhile they were turning in more coins than were even being produced so they got suspicious after paying out a fortune.

 

Thanks Michael, I will try my bank and see if they will cooperate! I’ll clean them first in my tumbler.

 

I just found a $20 bill in the gutter on my walk. Good thing I cut my gym short today, or I don't get it.

 

Found a dryer coin and a 1953 Canadian nickel.

 

There are varieties of the 1953 Can. nickel that are valuable.

Hoping for a dollar coin. 50 colones, Costa Rica. Worth 8 cents US.
The weight is close to a dollar coin, but it's slightly larger. 7.8g and 8.1 for the US. 27.5mm and 26.5mm for the US.

 

Found in a Coinstar reject tray at my Mom’s neighborhood grocery store. First silver (1957-D Rosie) in a looooooong time!

 

Nice. I was able to turn in my mutilated coins. (3 years in a row.)
The dime I was trying to key out of the grate/acceptor slot was swallowed
into the belly of the beast, and I didn't feel like turning it on and getting a
receipt for 8 or 9 cents. I did find 11 cents on the floor of the grocery store anyway.

 

A quarter, dime, 2 cents, and a 50 centavo in a coinstar.

 

1984 Sweden 1 krona
2015 Canada 5 cents
2 x Euro one cent
13 cents modern US
2 Namco arcade tokens

 

Yesterday a 2 Euro cent. Today on the floor by the machine, this pressed coin that says: Houston, Texas.
