Old story, but here goes. I went into a Subway in the Detroit area back in 2010 and asked if they had any Canadian coins they wanted to get rid of. The cashier cleared it with the manager first, but gave me something like $4.62 in Canadian coins for free.

I've never had much luck with stores, except that the waitress at my favorite diner will toss me a coin now and then.

That's a great pull from just one machine. What kind is it (if you know)?

Something Cummings. Has a lid in the Center, must be closed to run. The coins drop through a sieve onto a plate that spins. It can hold about $350 in quarters or dimes per cycle, and I have run over $1000 in quarters per transaction (no limit per transaction I can see). Very fast, very accurate (I have tested it quite a few times), rejects anything non-Canadian or Non-US including Silver coins and anything even a little bit damaged or bent. Sure makes my coin obsession a lot easier since I had to roll EVERYTHING until these were recently installed.

It was bound to happen sooner or later: I grabbed the wrong coffee can out of the car and dumped a load of Canadian into the machine. And with the worst possible adversarial bank manager looking on, I couldn't scoop them out either

So, depending on tomorrow...I may actually have to take a negative for the week.

Ouch - any follow up?

[Morsecode]

I was just getting ready to hit the route when my partner called; weather looks iffy later this week so we went out mowing today to get a headstart. No banking for me.

I'm estimating I lost $3.50 - $5.00 before realizing what was going down the feed ramp. I saved $1.10 of it...so that's my week, $1.10

If it does rain Wed or Thur I may get in a weekday run to make up for the boner.
