I would of fainted

 

Coinstar and self checkout at the same store...
1 silver dime
3 dimes
3 quarters
3 cents
1 nickel

 

Be very careful using coin counters. Are you aware that there is an internal reject tray? In some machines there are TWO! And whatever goes there doesn’t come back to you. I took $500 in Kennedys to one of those machines. Count wasn’t right and I made them open the machine and found 11 of my half dollars there plus a handful of other coins. That’s pure profit for the bank.

 

Found at grocery store coinstar this morning:

• sticky zincoln
• 1981 Canada 10 cent
• 1987 Canada $1 coin
• 1985 Spain 10 pesetas
• 2007 Costa Rica 50 colones

 

Sorry - forgot to include the 2007 US 25 cent (State of Washington)

 

I don't know if its the economy now or what but the coinstar tray is ALWAYS empty now when I look. Haven't found so much as a penny in one for over a year.

 

Go there days before welfare days

 

2 cents in the self checkout.

 

53 cents in the slot. One of the zincolns I will have to throw away but the other 52 cents all clean and new and spendable.

 

21 cents in the slot. Acceptable.

 

Got two Canada dimes

 

While out of town for the weekend I got two hits at the same coinstar.
3 cents
4 dimes
1 quarter
1 CDN quarter
1 MXN peso
1 Angel token
1 NZ cent

 

Today I was at a local Stop and Shop store in Hyde Park, NY, only 2 cents BUT I pick up a 1943 zinc cent. So I said Thanks Howard, he passed away the end of last year and he couldn't believe how much I find in the reject slot. It's just a reminder that some one is always looking over your shoulder. Earlier I got a call from the local parish Priest he knows i collect coins and paper so I looked at his stash of foreign coins and such. Maybe if he knew someone who is going to canada to bring the change up to a church in canada and put it in the collection box. I found some silver coins not much but I will try and sell it for the church.

 

Two coinstars today...

1 cent
1 nickel
1 eurocent
1 2 eurocent

 

Keep one to remember him for sure

 

Thanks for sharing your finds.
Do you ever add up what you have found over time?
I know of someone who would add up what he found in the past year.
It was an impressive total.

 

Checked yesterday and since nothing was there, I put a Chinese coin in the reject slot.

 

I haven't added it up over the years.

 

Quarter and penny on top of the grill.
