I'm picking up quite a few euro coins from the reject box, which is great, because we can use them when we visit family in Europe.

I've found a couple of silver dimes, and handfuls of cents. A couple Euro coins, and the last thing I found was an Elvis amusement arcade token.

Well, I seem to always fill the machine when I return my searched cents and the teller has to come over to switch the bag in the machine.
The tellers are letting me grab the coins in the internal reject tube. I examined the machine when they opened it. Internally, they get rejected coins in two places:

1. Underneath the slot where you dump in the coins there is a magnet. It attracts all of the coins with any metal that would cling to a magnet. It was loaded with canadians.
2. At the bottom center of the machine, there is a tube that usually contains rejected coins. I guess this is the tube that feeds the slot outside of the machine where you can find reject coins when you dump, or where others who dump forget to take them. I guess it sometimes gets blocked, and the coins don't go into the external reject tray.

The teller said these were my rejects, since I was the last to use the machine. I didn't argue. It contained 5.46 dollars/cents in Euro's(about 6.50 US worth), and .31 cents in US. It's a good way to grab those coins if they open the machine after you dump, because you were the last person to use the machine.

Thanks for the reply - they've carted away both coinstars in my area! I went to check it and it was gone, went to see if the other was still there and zip. Gone too. Must not have been very successful.

However, I do think its awesome that people, even if they are homeless, go picking through rubbish for cans. More recycled.

Something similar happened to me the other day at the local H-E-B's CoinStar: a 1952-D Roosevelt dime, along with a couple of Canadian dime and pennies. Checking the reject slot finaly paid off!
Happy Hunting!

I checked at my local grocery last week and found a Canadian quarter, Canadian cent, Japanese (Korean?) coin about the size of a dime but aluminum - haven't ID'd it yet, and a US cent ground down to the diameter of a dime. Years ago in California, I walked by one and saw a coin sitting right on top. It was a british pound coin (silver I believe) that wouldn't go through so someone just abandoned it.

The modern Japanese 1 yen is a dime-size aluminum coin.
