<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 2317994, member: 73983&quot;]First, what&#039;s the percentage of foreign coins circulating among everyday US coins?&nbsp; Maybe 0.1%?&nbsp; You make it almost sound like most people taking their jars of coins to these machines have around a 25% foreign mix.&nbsp; Are these people International Airline Pilots with lot&#039;s of layovers?&nbsp; Where is all this foreign coinage coming from?&nbsp; I don&#039;t know of a lot of older people with a high percentage of foreign coins in their piggy banks from all the traveling they do.</p><p><br /></p><p>My guess, most people just throw their foreign coins in with the US coins in hopes that they get counted as US.&nbsp; If not, oh well.&nbsp; They can&#039;t exchange them anywhere else.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I&#039;m sure there is a higher percentage of Canadian coin in general circulation near the Canadian border.&nbsp; But I seriously doubt this is as big of a problem as you try to make it out.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would be concerned if the actual count was coming out well below my estimated count on a regular basis.&nbsp; I would probably count the coins myself and then compare that count to what the machines gave.&nbsp; If that count was off quite often, I&#039;d start raising a big stink about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
