Checked the coin counter at the CU. 2* Pennies. Uglies that get spent at fast food.

10c at my local Food Lion coinstar:

One dirty old dime in the reject bin. Could it be SILVER? Could this be my lucky day?

NOOOOO - Just another corroded clad from 1988.

Well something made it reject. Maybe someone took the other coins?

Today!! 1938!

Any good find on the dime? Something made those coins kick out!

Well that's not a very impressive US total. Considering the decent showing foreigns made, I really expected better but it wasn't meant to be I guess. If I can scrounge $19.85 in Nov & Dec I'll make it to $500 total since I've been tracking Coinstar/ground fishing on this forum. My neighbors have certainly done their part as parking lot finds continue on beyond record territory. Let's see what the next 61 days has in store.

Usually when I check a COINSTAR machine, I get shutout. However, I hit pretty big on Wed (Nov 1): a CAD quarter, two zincolns and two American dimes - one of them SILVER!

Went to Walmart today; checked the coin star machine and found three quarters - two American and one Canadian.

.10 today

Today I saw someone at a CS dumping about 3 freezer bags of change into it. I hung around to see if anything got left behind. Nothing was left. I wanted to jump up and down like a 2 yr old, lol

2023 feels like it's going to end with a whimper in the Coinstar department. I'm concentrating so much on my small dollar hunting that I haven't gone out of my way to check them as often. Plus, one of the best stores on my route closed so there's less potential for discoveries. Still, there have been finds, just not the quantity I'm used to.

Yesterday, a local COINSTAR came through with three quarters - 2 Canadian and one American. Had to go back to that same store today, checked it's machine and was empty this time.

Nice!

Was able to get to another COINSTAR machine and was rewarded for my "check in." Got 35 cents Canadian plus a zincoln.

Two COINSTAR searches today. First one - nothing. Second one - 35 cents American. (Dime and quarter)

Yesterday - two COINSTAR machines, each gave me a dime. One Canadian, and one American.

Another Canadian dime today from a COINSTAR.
