Daily I see physical signs of 'the mint is limiting coins due to the physical cash shortage' and today I saw where Aldi's will not accept cash unless you have the exact change. TPTB are obsessed with getting physical cash/coins eliminated! They can then track every single dollar we have and also impose negative interest rates!
Also, 'Zincoln's' are up to 96% of melt value! Save ALL nickels and pennies! I am also utilizing cash and trying to keep transactions cost to a minimum! jmho

Starting thinking this way sometime in 2020. My bank is charging me $7 per box. Now have many 5gal buckets full. For every $300 searched I usually find a war nickel and a couple buffalos.
Cu pennies have been disappearing from circulation. Most penny boxes I'm getting these days have 0-5% copper in them, maybe 10% if I get lucky. 2 years ago I starting keeping the zincs too... they're almost at face value now.

Do you know if the coinstar machines and the like will accept war nickels? In other words, If I buy a bag, is there a chance that a war nickel will be in their?

I didn't know you could buy coin bags from Coinstar... really?
Don't really know, but I've found many silver coins in the coinstar reject bin. My guess is the machine would reject war nickels, although I've never found one in the reject bin.

Both the current Jefferson nickel and the war nickel weigh 5 grams according to coinflation.com. If the Coinstar goes by weight, and I believe it does, then it will consume war nickels that aren't culls.
