Is it a Coinstar or a coinstar-type machine? Welcome to CCF, you'll find people here extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of money and collecting. This is definitely the place to ask your coin and paper money related questions, for answers without bad attitude!  |

Nice finds!  I assume his use of 'coinstar' is as a generic term and not specifically a Coinstar branded machine. |

Large size dollars tend to get stuck in the collecting basin of coin machines. I've picked up many ikes checking the basins, as well as one morgan. The dollars are too big to fit through the reject shoots, so they stay on the basin until removed by a teller or someone else like me :)

The Coinstar at my bank has a warning on the screen NOT to put the large size dollar coins in it OR Steel cents!

I have it on good authority,that coin changing machines will not accept coins as large as a morgan or Peace dollars..... |

What company of machine was it? Almost all are treated the same way as a Coke machine. The local shop never has control over the machine as it'd be too easy to steal from it.
Morgans in a coinstar seems highly unlikely as it would automatically reject them

Both the machines at TD bank where I dump and all the Coinstars in the supermarket by me don't take large dollars. They have a warning sign on the Coinstar saying that it does not accept "large silver dollar coins". I then added my phone number below that to have people call me if they want to dispose of them. (j/k).

From what I have learned all coinstar machines use 2 600lb steel bins to store the coins, and only the armored car company has access to them, mostly brinks if not only brinks. All coin to cash machines in Publix supermarkets use machines made by the Cummins-Allison Corporation and those usually are sorted into bags. I am sure there are many more brands of coin to cash machines around but these are the two I am familiar with.

It is a 'coinstar-type' machine the company I work for owns.

Had my first CoinStar reject tray score last night...well kinda. Actually I guess it was the first time I found change in the reject tray - two Lincolns a 1985 and a 1992.
And that's my 2 cents worth!
