Cobra arcade bar, token. Out of business, lasted 6 months.

50c. Euro coin

2015 Jamaica Twenty Dollar coin in the reject chute at my local banks coin counter. Its a really nice looking bi-metal coin about the size of a quarter.

I broke out of my coinstar slump yesterday by finding a dime and a zincoln (11 cents)

One nickel...only good for fast food spending...beat up.

2 dimes. This machine is a little picky about ones that are the least bit, bent.

February finds coinstar and on the ground.

16c at my local Food Lion coinstar:

1 dime
1 nickel
1 COPPER penny (1980)
1 1981 Japan 10 Yen

Local coinstar gave me a dime yesterday.

Continuing car issues has limited my Coinstar excursions to once a week, plus whatever I find in my complex's parking lot. In the latter category, I was lucky to nab a $10 bill being blown around so perhaps that makes up for the lack of coinage. I'm also in a phase at work where I won't have any extended time off for a couple of months. Once the car issues get sorted out I'll try to get back on the horse, but for now, it looks like the first half of 2024 may be a lean period for CS finds.

Local coinstar gave me a quarter this morning.

I was walking out of the store the other day and noticed nothing was in the CS chute. About 3 paces away from the CS, on a counter, was .06 in pennies, 1 looking like it would have been rejected by CS. I'm guessing there's competition there

Absolutely they are. A couple of days ago I was walking into a Kroger with my eye on the Coinstar machine and I saw the lot cart pusher guy checking the CS and getting something.

I suspect that the people watching the self checkout machines, which tend to be near the coinstars, are checking them as well.

Nickel

Another dime this morning

3 sticky icky dimes
5 zinc pennies

Alas not at this machine. My other CU is the one that , rejects, silver.

Copper penny.

Off of the magnet, my cu threw away Mexican $2 coins. Plus some batteries.

Today's coinstar - only two cents, but both were copper.

1941 Wheatie and 2016 Canadian dime.

And so ends one of my weakest quarters of Coinstar hunting. Vehicle issues have been dealt with so I hope to increase my searches. What has been found so far isn't much to write a forum post about. Roughly a third of my finds have been in my apartment complex parking lot but I did snag a first-time country in one my few CS jaunts. It's something, I suppose, lol. Hoping for triumphant returns in April and beyond.
