Just got home. Fifteen minutes ago went into a Food Lion grocery store. Saw what looked like about 12 cents in the slot of the Coinstar. Three coins. I put them in my pocket with other change. One coin looked strange like a foreign coin, shiny covered with corrosion, and a dime and a penny.
I just checked the coins. One very shiny 1964 D Roosevelt dime. One rusty 1943 Lincoln penny with shiny parts. I think the other was a roughed up zinc penny.

My net worth increased ever so slightly as I found three Lincoln cents (all zinc) in the Outerwall (formerly Coinstar) machine the other day.

Found a clad quarter and a couple zinc pennies in the local Coinstar machine today. Also, two clad quarters and a zinc penny in the self-checkout area at the same Walmart where the Coinstar machine is located. So a total of 78 cents.
I went on a Saturday night late after the bars had let out, so I don't know if that made a difference.

Yesterday I got a dime and three pennies. One was so corroded that I couldn't tell if it was a Lincoln or Indian...

On Wednesday found a 1963 Israel Agora coin with "metal alignment" in the Coinstar at grocery store. Rather plain looking aluminum coin. Search on internet revealed the identity.

1958 British half penny.
Silver Monometalism is the most permanent and stable form of money the world has seen. Natural law and history prove silver value is best multiplied by gold and best divided by copper. It is only in this counterfeit currency time when the natural law appears suspended.
