Dearborn, you're in Phx, so any Safeway, Frys food or Walmart will have them. Even my food city has one it's just not an actual "coinstar". |

After a long dry spell I finally found some treasure at the local Safeway Coinstar this evening. I got a 1942 (P) Mercury dime as well as 2 Zincolns.   |

Sweet silver, n9jig! I've harvested a few silver Roosevelts, but never a Mercury. Great find!

Well, I was asking why the machine would kick out spendable coins... See my previous reply. I watched with great anticipation as a guy from Mexico fed coins from a full grocery bag into a Coinstar. I was hoping for a good haul of international coins or at least a trade of some sort. The machine rejected about 20% of the coins - to the point the guy had to empty the reject bin because coins were spilling out on the floor. I believe it could have been a calibration error or coin overload. When he left, I harvested over $9 in change that he abandoned. He was gone when I found them.

This 1964-D Roosie was all by its lonesome in the reject bin just waiting for me to rescue it today.  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Brilliant find, Hondo Boguss! Sweet find, n9jig! I found two Mercury dimes in the reject bin with a silver Roosevelt dime four years ago! I got scared cos the machine is across from the customer service desk. I do not frequent this store. I did this because of you guys. :) Just to see if it is true.on my first try, I scored! But I wimped cos of the glares from the desk. |

Imagine if that had been a 1942/41 Merc dime.
