I never find any coins in the reject trays. Maybe Canadians are more tuned to checking for rejects?

I always check those Coin Stars, got a silver Roosevelt last week.

On another note, was at a QT and got a silver Roosevelt in my change. Asked the clerk if I could buy more dimes, got 8 more.
He said, "Oh, you're looking for the steel ones aren't you."

'Yea, I'll take all the "steel" dimes you got!
Pedal to the metal.

May totals (2017 totals)

1¢ - $.26 ($2.72)
5¢ - .20 (1.75)
10¢ - .20 (3.40)
25¢ - .50 (8.25)
50¢ - .00 (0.50)
Total - $1.16 ($16.62)

No foreign or tokens.

An unusually low take this month, despite my typical vigilance at the local Coinstar. Wonder if I'm being scooped by others.

13 cents U.S. - no good dates- a dime and three pennies. Also, from the same Coinstar machine was two Australian 5 cent/pence coins- 2005 and 2009.

Today at the Coinstar at the Walmart on the way home from work...

Three late date quarters (.75)
Two late date dimes (.20)
Eight late date Zincoln cents (.08) (one of them BADLY mutilated)

Total of $1.03

This may be the most (face value) I've found at a single time in a Coinstar machine, even though I have found silver that was worth more.
