coinstar finds

[Sullysullinburg]

Found a 2002 dime and a 1975 Canadian penny. I'd say I did good. There was no tray so I had to reach to the chute, must have been more on the floor.

Found a 1972 penny on the floor in front of a CoinStar at a Wal-Mart. I'm hoping to get out the magnifying glass and see that it's a doubled die... haha...

I have checked machines when I notice people just leaving after a drop. On only one time did I find a coin, and it was a silver 1964 US beauty. The machine must not think its real by its weight

I find a lot of coin at the CoinStar. Silver dimes about 1 every 4 months in the reject tray. Odd coins in between. Double hand-fulls of mixed coin about every 4 months --- foreign coins, pennies, US coins.

Checking the coinstar reject tray is worth the effort between the occasional silver dime, the occasional double hand-full of mixed coins, and the random pennies and nickels, I get something for free every month. nothing exotic yet, like a 2 cent piece or a gold coin. And the only silver I find is dimes. But still, adds interest to every grocery store visit. And it doesnt cost anything to look.

Was at the grocery store late last night and I hear a guy dumping his change into the coinstar machine. Since it was late the store was pretty quiet. I hear the machine running and it has the occasional reject, which the guy throws back into the machine. It had a nice rhythm, clunk clunk clunk, as the rejects hit the tray. Then I hear clunk, clunk, CLINK, clunk, and I know that was a silver coin. I head over, to make like I was next in line, as he throws the last rejects back in to finish. I already have a dime in hand, as I start chatting with him. As that last dime keeps getting spit out, I offer to buy it from him, but he just hands it to me. A 1947 Roosevelt. I thank him, and wish him well, and wonder at the fact that he had no idea about the silver, but was very grateful for his generosity and kindness.
