Getting sabatoged with CWR

Postby motos » Wed Mar 21, 2012 10:14 am

I call them pucks but others might call them something else. Two pennies glued together. I'm getting one per 30 rolls of CWR (out of a total 400+ rolls). I believe someone is deliberately sabotaging me!

Anyone else getting an influx of pucks?

Seen up to 4 stuck together. Figure the random dimes make up for it.

You think someone's gluing them on purpose? I thought they were just naturally clammed together somehow. Some people have too much time on their hands, I guess. (unlike penny handsorters)

Why worry about it, unless you're using a ryedale? Just make sure to put them in a roll and not through a counting machine otherwise they may not be counted...

I found them often. You can tell when you have one circling the feeder.

I don't know Morse. Sure I usually get the one or two per batch but I have thrown out 12 of these things and I'm not half way through sorting. It just seems like too much of a coincidence!

And yeah, I am using a Ryedale so when I fill the coin cup up and about 5 seconds later there's a patterned feed abnormality it cuts into the sort times because I'm waiting to pluck the puck! What a PITA

I call them "2 cent pieces." They happen all the time. The easy solution is to just have your coins feed into the Ryedale through a slot machine auxilary hopper or through a coin counter to eliminate them from the Ryedale's food chain. This also eliminates the bent coins from the feed. :mrgreen:

Whenever I find two cents smashed together it's usually from old chewing gum or dried soda. Nasty!

I'm tell you, it's that Fred Underwood at work.
If you are waiting for the "correction" to buy you need to realize that the increasing prices ARE the correction.
