Lots of pennies this month thanks to full reject slots on two separate Coinstar visits - one had 79 coins, the other 63. Four wheaties were among them: 1913, 1943D, 1945S, 1952S. 1913 becomes my oldest Coinstar find.

i am no longer a coinstar silver virgin.
1964 dime in the reject slot yesterday.

One zinc Lincoln (can't remember date, but it was after 2000) found in the Walmart Coinstar.

2007 Canadian cent

I took a bag of zinc cents to dump in a Coinstar machine today to get a gift certificate for the Home Depot. Before I could dump them I had to clear out the overflowing reject bin. Here's what I got out of there:

136 zinc cents
18 copper cents
50 Jefferson nickels
40 Roosevelt dimes
61 Washington quarters
That's $23.29 found

But there's more - a very worn out "V" nickel. The date was long gone but it's my first one of those found in the wild.

I also got a South Korea 100 Won (1990) but that's hardly worth mentioning considering all of the other the stuff I found.

2009 mexican 1$

Not a coinstar find but my first wheat found on the ground - 1935-S

10 pennies sitting on the dump in tray.

reject on another netted me 3 pennies , nickel and 2 dimes
