Reject Tube & Coinstar Finds

Taking cents back to several different credit unions on my day off work, first credit union coin machine produced three coins in the reject slot:
1959-D Dime
1964-D Dime
1964-D Dime

Three silver dimes!

Second credit union found a 1962 Canadian quarter, .800 fine silver coin!

Four silvers in reject slots in one day, three in one!

Found a large handful of change at a grocery coinstar over my Holiday vacation:

A 43 Merc

About $2.7 US (non-sliver)

About $3.5 Canadian (mix of cents, nickels, dimes, quarters and one twoonie)

A 1990 German 5 pfennig and a 2007 Polish 5 grozny

 

Then today under the Coinstar at a grocery store:



A '34-D, large mintmark variety. Oldest Merc I have found around a coin machine. But I did find 1898 and 1899 dated Barbers last year at my credit union.

 

I dont normally have much luck finding older stuff in the rejects, find alot of other stuff, but all I have ever found was a dateless Indian head and a silver Roosevelt. My dad found a 1964 Kennedy in the reject slot once, but I have not been so lucky.

 

Keep trying, because mathematically you'll eventually find something. The Indian head was actually a pretty good find IMO. The first time I ever looked for anything I found 1917 French 50 centimes coin. Since then I've found a 1905-O dime, several other foreign coins, a 1960-D dime, a 1966 Canadian dime, and some more silver coins. I've been looking for maybe a year or so. Also, try looking under the machine. Don't give up.

 

I've also found things on the top of the machine, doesn't hurt to check

 

I think it has more to do with that the machines that I check are in the lobby and alot of people check them during the day, I normally find some Canadian change or some messed up normal us change, I dont know if you can count this as one of those finds but when I spotted in to the bank to pick up some change I noticed a $10 bill next to my car in the parking lot, not really a reject find but still a find due to getting change lol.

 

What kind of coin has a weight of one pound?

 

For that matter, what kind of quarter is silver? If it's not green or brown, man, leave it...

 

I understand a silver quarter. (1964 and before) But a one pound coin? I'm just trying to picture someone carrying around 3 or 4 of them in their pocket??

 

Britain has a one pound coin that does not weigh a pound, it is a denomination. Google British one pound coin. Hope this answers your question.

 

Thank you Gilbert.

 

Today I found a BU 2009 Canadian dime in the reject bin along with a couple of shield pennies.

 

'Bout a week ago, while doing the weekly food shopping run, I did a check of the 4 coinstars in my area. Nuthin' in the reject trays, but did find a 1934 wheatie ( fair to good condition) on the floor by the system. Lincoln doesn't get much respect any more...at least as a coin.

Still amazed that an 80+ year old coin is still in circulation.

 

Today I got 2 cents stuck together with gum... ewww

 

I found a 2011 2 euro cent in the reject slot today - same size and color as a Lincoln.

 

A 63-D Roosevelt and two Lincoln cents at the grocery store coinstar.

 

Do eyeball finds on the ground go in this thread?

We were at Cedar Point last week and I found $0.90 in loose change including a 1955 wheatie.

 

We have a local convenience store where the register gives out the coins automatically so the cashier only has to count bills. Two years ago I got my change back and there was a 1908 Indian Head cent in the change.
