Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 07/21/2010 5:25 pm Along with a lot of foreign coins and other junk coins i have been noticing a lot of 1986 lincoln cents being rejected by the counters. As a matter of fact anytime I find some in the tray when I am in the bank 80% of the cents are 1986 most p's some d's. Also a few 88's. Now these are all clean and non damaged coins also. Wonder what is going on with that particular yr. as to have it rejected. Today I reached in and took out 21 cents. 3 older damaged ones, 1 canadian, 2 88's and the rest all 86's. Same thing as over the past few months I noticed and remembered the 86's Report this Post to the Staff

My favorite baseball team BTW. Seriously, that IS pretty weird though! Have no clue why! Report this Post to the Staff

Strange part is like I mentioned, that they are not damaged or dirty etc. I think I will get the name next visit of the machines. Check out how they work etc. Yankee fans are not allowed in the bank Report this Post to the Staff
