Hi Angel, my wife feels awkward about it too. She thinks that it's not right if we're not using the machine as a coinstar for our own coins. I disagree with the logic but can see where she's coming from. Either way I don't take them while she's looking...

It reminds of back in the day of pay phones looking for coins there! And no one cared about that.

I remember those days. Pay phones were easy targets.  |

Jes I know! Now for the most part only broken down phones. I'm surprised that the phone companies aren't told to fix them or remove them. I recall ab out 10 yrs ago riding through the lonlinest road in nevada the one pay phone in the middle of nowhere.

Hahaha I feel the same way and jbuck I try act that same way. Sometimes the stores busy and I feel everyone is watching but I know nobody's gonna say nothing to me if they ever do I'd be sure to tell y'all because it would be a situation for sure lol

I cannot even remember the last time I saw a pay phone. I am beginning to wonder if they are there and I just do not notice them.

I've seen very few and they don't take coins They are I guess phone cards or collect.

Plus I look at it this way there's very few sane people out there anymore-while they may not be as crazy as me they're all nuts so what the heck do I care what they think of me dipping my hand in the cookie jar? They're the ones slipping not me lol

Two places I expect to find them are two places that I avoid. The mall and the airport. I am going to be on the look out though because now I am curious. If I happen to find some rejects in these unicorns, all the better. |

Let us know. I know we got on a tangent so if you open a new thread please let us know! They had them last time we dropped someone off at the airport but many were missing from the row of them.

And if anyone is from the northern Nevada area I'm curious if that lone pay phone is still out there on highway 50!

I check the coinstar at our local Walmart and have found some foreign coins. Boy I wish I had been a CRH back when slot machines used real coins. I lament all of the collectable coins that could have been. |

Yes me as well. For some reason even though they play sounds I liked the real $$ better. Somehow the paper receipts don't give the same atmosphere.
