I noticed a coin on the coinstar countertop. It was a 1983 Canadian quarter that nobody wanted! I found a Franklin Half in another machine a while back.

My usual practice of checking the coinstar machine at the grocery store got me 2 cents. One copper and one zincer. I guess i got my 2-cent's worth at the store!

Went into the local credit union (dump bank) to unload some coins and checked the machine before dumping mine in and the tray was full of coins! Pulled out 3 clad quarters 2 dimes, 1 was a 64 silver, 1 nickel and 16 pennies (only 2 coppers). Not bad for a dump run.

Found a U.S. clad dime while dumping zincs at a CoinStar this morning. Then I found another U.S. clad dime at a different CoinStar machine. I thought these machines were supposed to accept the clad ones and reject the SILVER ones. :roll:
