[QUOTE="Blaubart, post: 2324910, member: 37498"]A couple of thoughts: Wait, what? "No possible way"? This isn't rocket science we're talking about. Your imagination seems quite limited. Consider these two points: 1: Minimum wage is currently $7.25/hr. 2: Lots of foreign coins sell on ebay for upwards of $7/lb. The simple answer: pay a minimum wage employee to sell 10lb lots of foreign coins on ebay. The same has been said about people who don't lock up their bikes when they invariably get stolen. Yes, it's stupid, but it's still theft to take something that doesn't belong to you without permission. A sign on a machine that states the machine doesn't take foreign coins is no excuse for not returning them to their rightful owner upon rejection. What if a person was simply taking all the coins from a donation or tip container to the bank? Should that person be required to sort through all the coins prior to taking them to the bank? Isn't that part of the reason people take such a piles of coins to the bank, so they won't have to manually sort through them? I live somewhat close to Canada. Letting the bank machine sort through my change jar would be a good way to separate US coins from Canadian. Why on Earth should I expect to LOSE all of my Canadian change from the change I dump into their machine?[/QUOTE]
