One token at a Walmart machine. It say "no cash value" on one side and the other side doesn't have a business name, so it is hard to tell where it came from.

I went to the bank to dump some dimes yesterday. As the coin counter started I could tell that there were some large coins stuck in it. I had a mixture of loose and rolled dimes. I just kept unwrapping the dimes until the machine jammed.

The cleaned it out and handed me 3 Ikes. :P There was also a length of chain which they threw out. I fished it out of the garbage, but it wasn't silver or gold.

My son showed me the handful of change he got from a Coinstar today. I saw he had found a 1964 Roosevelt dime. He was pumped to add another silver coin to his collection.

Two scores today.
First one at the bank a local TCF, a couple running change through the lobby machine kept taking change out of the reject slot and running it back through the machine. I asked them if it was Canadian and if so I would buy it from them as I collect coins. They said yes it was Canadian, but they just gave it to me.
1604-2004 Canada quarter
2x 2009 Canada dime
1977 Canada cent
PGA TOUR CHARTER MEMBER PARTNERS CLUB TOKEN

Second one at the local Wal Mart Coinstar. I looked in the reject tray and Holy Cow!
82 cents US
2x Quarter
2x Nickel
1 Dime
10 zinc Cent
2 copper Cent
11 Cents Canadian
2011 Cent
1965 Nickel
1945-2005 Nickel
Wildwoods Waterpark token
Car Wash token

That's the most I have ever found at one time.

A Thursday trip to the Coinstar machine in the local Walmart yielded the following (all from the reject tray)...

7 pennies (one an '82- haven't weighed it yet to see if it is copper- the others all zincs)
1 Jefferson nickel (1984-D)
3 clad Roosy dimes

(1) 1990 5-pence coin (probably British)
(1) 2008 Canadian quarter

So that is 72 cents face- then I found another 5 pennies and a dime in the same store and parking lot, so that makes 87 cents.

Multiple visits to coin machines at credit unions and TDs over the last few week and never a coin in the reject tray. I did get a few pennies and nickels spilled inside a machine that was giving trouble but I believe they were mine already. Found a loonie on the ground this AM but pretty sure I dropped in as I was moving stuff across the sidewalk all night. I have no free coin luck (old money from bank I've hit three scores in about a month though.).
