What's better than getting silver at face value?

Getting silver for FREE!!! :P

I just had my first silver score at the bank coin return machine. I just had a small load of pennies to dump, about $10-15. And I was suddenly suprised to see the machine tallying up nickels and dimes and even quarters, then I look in the reject tray and see some more goodies. Altogether, here's what I got for free:

5 extra nickels
13 extra dimes
3 extra quarters
half a dozen canadian coppers
1 beat up '36 penny
1 nice '41 penny
1 nice '42 penny
and 1 1957-d SILVER dime!!! :D

It made my day! :)
Pennies: $4200 - (0) indians - (5)steel - (1) George V Canadian
Nickels: $6500 - (62)war - (23)buf - (1)V nic - (4) key date jeff's
Dimes: $5000 - (24)roos - (2)merc - (2)AgCAN
Halves: $8000 - (7)'64 - (33)40% - (1)walker
