Just got home. Fifteen minutes ago went into a Food Lion grocery store. Saw what looked like about 12 cents in the slot of the Coinstar. Three coins. I put them in my pocket with other change. One coin looked strange like a foreign coin, shiny covered with corrosion, and a dime and a penny.

I just checked the coins. One very shiny 1964 D Roosevelt dime. One rusty 1943 Lincoln penny with shiny parts. I think the other was a roughed up zinc penny.

My net worth increased ever so slightly as I found three Lincoln cents (all zinc) in the Outerwall (formerly Coinstar) machine the other day.

Found a clad quarter and a couple zinc pennies in the local Coinstar machine today. Also, two clad quarters and a zinc penny in the self-checkout area at the same Walmart where the Coinstar machine is located. So a total of 78 cents.

I went on a Saturday night late after the bars had let out, so I don't know if that made a difference.

On Wednesday found a 1963 Israel Agora coin with "metal alignment" in the Coinstar at grocery store. Rather plain looking aluminum coin. Search on internet revealed the identity.
