Fortuitous Start To The New Year Thanks To Coinstar

Nice finds, n9jig!

Coinstar again! Don't people need money? Hit Coinstar at Walmart this morning--ten quarters, nine in the return slot and one in the tray. One was a bicentennial. I love those. But how do people leave money in the machine? Aren't they going there because they need money? Ah, the American citizen.

Thanks, stud722. I'm making it a practice of checking them anytime I'm driving near one. Seems like people are still cashing in for dollars. Sign of the times.

I think the word is out because the one I look at is always empty

I've only ever found Canadian coins in the Coinstar reject bin. Great work! I do check them out on occasion when I am at a store that has one.

Tonight I found a 1964 US quarter in the return slot of my local Coinstar machine.

Good find, bookshelf. I haven't found a silver quarter yet, just dimes and wheaties.

I have never once been too proud to pick up a penny.

I was walking past a very scary looking man at a coinstar one day and I saw him take the reject coins out and shake them around in his hand. I could hear from a good 20 feet away that he had a large silver coin and at least a few others. I caught a fleeting glimpse of what looked like an ASE as I walked past.
It he weren't such a scary person I would have asked to buy it from him. Thinking about it now, I wouldn't be surprised if he came upon those coins illegally. Maybe its good that I was such a wimp.
