Coinstar Finds! (Including Bank Counters And Other Machines)

Found this one today at Sprouts!!! First S found in the wild for me!

Well, not even two weeks since I said it, and what do I find? These two beauties, for free! The dime was in the reject slot and the quarter underneath the machine. Yes, I sat down on the floor looking for coins (wasn't planning to, thought I had lost something, but it was worth it)
And before you ask, the quarter is not the type B reverse. I checked.

Very nice!

I found a 5 cent Euro on the ground in front of the CoinStar, and a cent and a dime at Pick N' Save yesterday. Last Saturday, I was at a credit union, and I found four cents and two dimes there in the reject slot of their coin counting machine. The bank I usually use has a coin counting machine, but it is behind the teller counter. The one at the credit union is in the lobby.

Any time you can get a teens Wheat cent and a 20s with a mintmark, you've done well.

Only about 14.2 million 1927-S cents were made. Compare that to today's cent mintages which are in the billions.

Outstanding!

I used to post on this thread all the time, kind of fell off the radar a few years ago because my local grocery store replaced the Coinstar machine with a generic looking bank coin counter that as far as I know, only rejects foreign coins as I've yet to find a silver dime or quarter in that one. That being said, I have 2 significant scores to report recently, a 1960-D dime that I found under the machine at a Walmart in IL, and a Polish coin from 1933. Not sure what it is but it's between the size of a nickel and quarter and is probably silver based on the ring noise it makes when you drop it on a surface.

There's also the occasional pocket change that's under a dollar which I don't even bother reporting unless one of the coins is significant date wise, but I have found free money that way since I was last here.
