coinstar finds

[misteroman]

Didn't ever see any other threads about this so start I would start one.
Whenever I go to my local grocery store I always take a quick peek in the coinstar reject slot. Every once in a while ya find something good.
Post em up.
Last monday I found an 1980 Cdn nickel, Cdn qtr and a beat up dime.

I noticed a coin on the coinstar countertop. It was a 1983 Canadian quarter that nobody wanted! I found a Franklin Half in another machine a while back.

Only cool find was a netherlands 25 gulden .999 nickel on top of a coinstar machine. Other than that, nada

Posted this in the pocket change find but it belongs here. Went in the local food lion to get some groceries and checked the coinstar machine (always do) and pulled out 2 dimes and 3 pennies. One of the dimes was a Merc. and one of the pennies was a wheaty both in good shape. Not bad!

Went into the local credit union (dump bank) to unload some coins and checked the machine before dumping mine in and the tray was full of coins! Pulled out 3 clad quarters 2 dimes, 1 was a 64 silver, 1 nickel and 16 pennies (only 2 coppers). Not bad for a dump run.

[coinwolf]

made second dump run of the day to another credit union and found a 1966 cent.

[agmoose]

2 canadian cents, 1 zincoln that was heavily corroded - 10% of the coin or more was gone.

Another clad quarter, dime, and 5 pennies. Gives me $0.42 for the year.

[Greatwun]

Found a 1983 Canadian nickel. And not too far from the machine I found a Canadian quarter.

[plus1hdcp]

1 genuine clad US quarter

[TwoAndAHalfCents]

Found a U.S. clad dime while dumping zincs at a CoinStar this morning. Then I found another U.S. clad dime at a different CoinStar machine. I thought these machines were supposed to accept the clad ones and reject the SILVER ones.
