At credit union coin counter dumping non silver nickels and dimes and grabbed $1.42 US in coin in reject tray. 1 Susan B Anthony dollar, beat up quarter, dime, nickel, 2 zinc pennies. Also got 1 Canadian dime.

My best ever coin reject jackpot.

Making my first penny dump for the year at my dump bank yesterday, it jammed around $240. When the teller came around to help me out, he opened the debris tray, looked inside, and emptied the contents into the trash. I looked in the trash and found a couple screws, some coins glued together, and a 2001 jamaican 20 dollar coin. I have no shame so I retrieved it and proceeded to look it up when I returned to my truck. Best I could find is it's worth a whopping 12 cents US. Oh well, the kids enjoy odd finds like that so I'll put it in their jar.

when I dumped my cull copper wens. I had a Canadian dime, a thai coin, a pizza token, a quarter and a 'gold' quarter in the reject bin. and I KNOW those did not come out of my copper.

assuming it was due to damaged coins. but it also gave me 31 nickels , 33 dimes, a quarter and 4 presidentials.. so I 'made' about 8$ .

Was at one of the banks in my area on Saturday - dumped some coins. Asked the teller - Taylor - to check the counter for junk (it is kept behind the counter in the tellers work space). She came back to the window, shaking her hand, I could hear something jingling.

I haven't gotten much this year from any of the banks I use, so I thought things took a turn to the better ... as Taylor announces "there was definitely junk in there".

She hands it to me....





The text on the 3rd item - maybe a key of some sort reads:

BREV

Google says this is Swedish and means 'letter' - although I am inclined to think it might be a company name, based on the use of capital letters.

gettone per app. automatici commercio vietato

Google says this is Italian and means:

token for the app. automatic trade prohibited

The small 'copper' coin on the far right is from the Cayman Islands, 1977 $.01

Junk alright...

I wandered in to one of the local Wal-Marts last night (we have 2). It's been 6-8 months
since I've been in either store.

To my surprise, what do I find in the Customer Service area - a honest to goodness Coinstar
machine. Watched a couple dumping some coin, then they walked away - even though the
machine was telling them there were coins in the reject bin - which turned out to be a
1979 Lincoln.

I think I will be stopping at Wal-Mart more often in the future.

At the Credit Union this morning to dump a bunch of zincs. When I walked up, the machines
magnet had two coins starring me in the face. Both 2013 Malaysia, a 5 Sen and 10 Sen - which
I assume is the "nickel" and "dime" for them.

Ok - one more post....

At Walmart today - hit the Coin Star - found 2 clad dimes, 6 pennies - ranging from clean to quite sticky.

1930 wheat cent

I routinely check coinstar return trays. Yesterday I found if full, with 3 silver roosevelt dimes, and about 50 copper pennies, no wheat and no zinc. Since I hoard both silver and copper, I was pleased.

Grocery store coin star had an elongated cent "A Kiss for You...Hershey's Chocolate World.com". Only the second thing I've ever found in a coin star.

A couple of World Cup teams were trying to hide on the floor under the front of the Coinstar but I found em.
Brazil 5 centavos 2012 and Britain 20 pence 2009, both new to the collection.

Found 2 euro cent coins - 1 euro cent from Germany and 10 euro cents from France

Two zincolns and a washer today. Sundays always seem to be good.

Stopped by the CoinStar machine and pulled out a handful of coins.

4 - quarters
5 - dimes
1 - nickel
6 - pennies

$1.61 total

.32 at Coinstar. one of the dimes was a 1964-D!

1942 wheatie

1960 rosie

quarter and a no date buffalo nickel

Every time I go to Walmart or a grocery store I look at the coinstar. Done this for years. Never seen anything in the reject tray! You guys are lucky.

just one nickel in the reject slot today

I rescued 90 cents in nickels, dimes and pennies that were left wedged in the counter opening by an impatient young couple. Saved from the ravages of the Coinstar machine!

a 1990 Bahamas quarter.

I've found around 12-15 silver dimes over the years and 10-20 foreign coins. Also lots of U.S. pennies, nickels and dimes. But I never once saw a silver quarter or half dollar. I was beginning to wonder if it is possible to get them.

My in house Malaysia expert tells me they are called 5 and 10 sen (pronounced like cent without the t). no other name for them. Malaysian Ringgit worth about 30% of the US$, 100 sen to the Ringgit.

two sets of two stuck together pennies.
