<p>[QUOTE="Coinlover, post: 203742, member: 6032"]yep, thats all you do. just walk up to a machine, put in the nickel,dime,or quarter in the coin slot, wait untill it says the amount taken, and then push the coin out, coin return button. i did that at a church tuesday night. i like to do this on machines where no one is around to see you or needs to use the machine. i do this sometimes when i have extra change in my pocket and buy from a machine. the coins that go out as change are the coins that people put in, then the machine owner puts those coins into the change tubes. i always like to try it with nickels because those produce more keepers than quarters and dimes. machines really don't accept silver coins, so i doubt that there would be silver in the machine. i showed my friend this because he is just starting o collect coins. when i showed him this, he traded his state quarters for the eagle quarters. he got a bicentinal his third quarter he put in. i tried dimes and quarters, but only got P and D clad. you never know, proofs are everywhere. nickels are really fun to try because they were not made of silver and even the old nickels are accepted by the machines.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
