2 Coinstars with nothing but air today. And I got to one just as someone was printing their receipt, so who knows what I may have missed.  |

2 coinstars, first one was dry and there was 11 cents in front of it. I was going to pick it up but some old woman who was grabbing her lotto tickets picked them up. I think it was a 2015 cent and a 90's-00's dime. 2nd one (at Walmart, been finding more stuff here lately) had a 1973 1/2 penny in front of the machine. There was a little kid putting his hand in the machine and stuff, surprised he didn't find it but it was on the floor, haha. Yesterday I was @ Walmart and found a 1981 canadian quarter, same coinstar. Finally finding stuff at Walmart. |

Why do I feel so awkward and embarrassed when I go to check the Coinstar machine? I bet I could find something. Coinstar and I pass each other like old lovers who just can't let anyone know there is/was something going on between them! I need to push past the shyness and get me some SILVER!! Ha!

i hear ya... I checked a coinstar for the first time ever yesterday. I pretended I was looking at strawberries while some guy was using it. My girl knew what I was up to so I told her I was looking at strawberries, she was like "yeh right".
When he was gone I swooped over, but the tray was empty. heehehehh

There was nothing in the reject tray. Another time I waited behind a guy for probably 13 minutes. He was nice and gave me his rejects. I told him that one of his dimes was silver and he said keep it.  |

...so I told her I was looking at strawberries, she was like "yeh right". I've taught this to my best friend, because him and I go looking for money at school and stuff and don't want to embarrass ourselves, but I created the "pretend-to-tie-shoe" method. Bend over, pretend to adjust shoe, grab/check coin when no one is looking and then walk away like nothing ever happened. It works 100% of the time. |

Behind the tray?
Behind the red handle, yes. Stuff always gets up behind there, I've found countless quarters and coins behind it. Also another one is in the tray itself. I always put my hand all around it. Sometimes I'll find some change here and there. |

Someone left a Canadian dime and penny on the counter today. I guess that's better than nothing, but I have a feeling whoever was there took their usable rejects and left the rest on the counter after seeing they were foreign. But sadly, I never run into nice people who give me their rejects, if I ever get anything, it was left there by some careless person.
