<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1557249, member: 27832&quot;]Thing is, the machines reject steelies, and most machines reject silver. But the rejected stuff still seems to get into circulation -- people grab it from the reject bin and hand it over to a cashier, or it ends up in the manager&#039;s till.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m just not sure how the stuff gets back into rolls. I&#039;d think at this point that the vast majority of change would be machine-counted and machine-rolled. Maybe enough people are still hand-rolling, or maybe banks just use different machines.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, yeah, I think Coinstar has led to a change (sorry) in behavior -- why let that jar full of coins collect dust for another fifty years, when you can dump it into a hopper and get (most of) it changed into a more convenient form? This may be a late, unexpected Golden Age -- or at least Silver and Copper Age -- for change-searching.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
