[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 4136604, member: 99642"]I'm not condemning you guys for doing this but I'm wondering has anyone ever said anything to you for doing that, like "HEY, what are you doing?". Has anyone ever stopped you? Do people see you do it and look at you funny? Personally, I would feel somewhat embarrassed if people were watching me check the reject slots in coin machines. One thing I have done while in a grocery and seeing someone head to the Coinstar with a jar or bucket of change, is offer to buy all of their change, on the spot, for cash. Of the few people I've actually asked, only one young couple accepted my offer. The rest looked at me like I was a bum trying to get their money. Even after I explained to them that I collect coins and that by selling me their coins they would be saving money, their bad looks just changed from "bum" to "swindler". People have gotten so used to having to protect themselves from getting ripped off, that you can't hardly talk to anyone about anything to do with money without them thinking you're some kind of thief.[/QUOTE]
