nepavending New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 11/10/2013 9:13 pm Hey all, where can I find magnets to use for sifting out foreign coins? I am looking to get some to use by hand and for use with a Cummins Jetsort. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 11/11/2013 10:50 am Wallmart, Kmart, flea markets and anyplace that sells refrigerator magnets. Auto parts stores too have those. I carry one in the shape of a pen almost all the time. Report this Post to the Staff

nepavending New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 11/15/2013 5:40 pm I got three rare earth magnets online for about $15 shipped. They work great for Canadian and some other countries I experimented with. These should help. Thanks all for the suggestions, but fridge magnets would be ineffective when working with a coin sorter or a larger than handful batch on coin. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 11/15/2013 7:56 pm If you tried an auto parts store, most carry a magnet on a telecoping tube. That is like the one I carry. Some extend to almost 3 feet, some more and some less. Report this Post to the Staff
