Most likely beginners luck but since I started this 2 weeks ago I've found the following (either in bags or the coin machine at the bank)

1 1976 40% Ike (machine) I seriously cant believe somebody left it there!
1 1901 IH (bag) my first wild injun
42 dimes (bags)
1 quarter (bag) (how the hell this got in a penny bag I'll never understand)
7 Can dimes (bags)
2 Can quarter (machine)
300+ wheats (bags) earliest is 1921 nothing too exciting boo.
1 square (yes square) coin from the islands down south (bag)
1 Korean coin (machine)
6 pfennings (bags)
12 other countries assorted small change (mix of bag and machine
