Yup, my .999 quarters and dimes get converted to something with more metal value since the face value exceeds the metal value right now I am taking advantage of that in order to acquire more metals. Man, I wish I lived a little closer to Canada so I could sort nickels.

Just got back from a dump run and between two tellers that save coins for me I just got $35.95 in Canadian plus a bunch of other foreign coins for free. Includes 1 toonie, 3 two dollar coins the rest in nicles, dimes and quarters. No silver but still very cool. One quarter is a breast cancer survivor quarter and since my little sister is a survivos I will put it in the mail to her tomorrow.

Cannot even begin to compete with the guys nearer the northern border, but I've picked up a buck and a half so far this week, including 1 each .999 nickel, dime, and quarter. Nickel stays, the rest goes into my trade pile.

On this counter (a new Talaris) it rejects to the outside, except for anything that the magnet picks up. (Edit) And the magnet is on the underside of the feed shute. Pull the shute up and the magnet pulls out from the left of the shute.

Nope. I didn't see this post until now - I replied to your PM instead.

I had a nice (for me) CDN haul yesterday. 3 quarters, 4 dimes, 3 nickels, 3 pennies, plus a bunch of UK pennies, euro change, and a couple other oddballs.

I have included everything mentioned up to this point. Check the first post for the "leaderboard!"
I remembered I got a whopping 29c, which I posted about way back in September:

Henry? Do they let you search the white dump box on the inside of door in the coin machine in your picture? That machine you have pictured is what contributes the most to my world coin collection, which although not much is growing.

Zero Canadian, and the magnet had been cleaned, but when I walked in the door the teller yelled "Hi Mr 68Camaro, I've got some pennies for you!" Turns out she had 25 steelies that had been rejected by the machine the previous week when then were the official dump bank of a charity penny drive - had saved them for me! :) A quarter later and they were mine. Need to bring her a treat soon....
