Steelie #4. The reverse is damaged. Also a dime on the grill.

First find in a while from coinstar and I must say not a bad one. About $1.55 face value including 1947 wheat , 1 Canadian dollar coin one ugly ring, one what appears to be a .22 caliber bullet. The ring loonie and bullet was in a jar on the top filled with nasty candy and other crap the rest was in the reject tube. To top it off there is a 2015 Homestead quarter with the "snow on the roof" die chip that I will post here in a few.

 

Looks like a .22 to me.

 

A bit of Canadian silver in the CS reject tray.

 

Found these foreign coins in a Publix coin counter earlier this morning.

 

Good one Nolan foreign silver still has eluded me.

 

The service desk clerk that takes care of the CS saves foreign coins for me too; she had two silver Canadian dimes, 50% ers.

 

Great Find!

 

Found a cool thing at my credit union today. They have a coin counting machine that is free to members! You insert your ATM card and just dump your coins in like a coinstar and when you are finished you push a button and it spits out a deposit slip! NO CHARGE!

Convenient, no hard feelings dumping searched change and you don't have to interact with anyone if you don't want to.

This is better than green gum!

 

That's a bona fide home run!

 

I've got to play the lottery today.

The two cents on edge are glued together.

$.72 + 10 pence

 

I found these coins sitting in the tray of a coinstar machine.

 

I'm surprised the Coinstar didn't take that 1/10 balboa. Especially because it shares the same specifications as the dime if I am not mistaken.

 

Friday I happened by a coin star machine and found 84 cents in the reject pile. Thanks you Coin Star.

 

I don't recall which post the 1/10 Balboa is from.
If the coin is silver, it is rejected for wrong metal.

 

The post you referenced regarding the 1/10 Balboa is post #2674. However, another reason why it was probably rejected is that the Panamanian coin has a minuscule difference in weight when compared to the dime.

A minuscule weight difference will not reject the coin. A damaged coin or a different metal are the usual causes. Steel, aluminum, silver, etc.

2008 Pananma 10 centesimos:
Composition Copper-nickel clad copper
Weight 2.27 g
Diameter 17.9 mm
Thickness 1.35 mm

Current US dime:
Metal Composition: 91.67% Copper - 8.33% Nickel
Diameter: 17.9 mm
Mass / Weight: 2.27 grams

Since the weight and diameter are exactly the same,
I think the metal content is also the same.

Sometimes coins are rejected and they are the right size and weight and the right metal. And they are just swept into the reject slot with a mixture of other coins,
some that are legitimately rejected and others that should have been accepted, and were rejected. People dumped the coins in too many at a time and sometimes the good coin behind a bad coin will be swept into the reject slot together.

 

Nice scoop today. You can see that none of these coins should have been rejected. People dump them in too fast and they jam the machine and get rejected. (My theory.)
