I talked to Coin Star...Brinks picks up the coins and takes them to a bank. Coin Star doesn't know which bank in which area, etc.

"Brinks picks up the coins and takes them to a bank. Coin Star doesn't know which bank in which area, etc." If you had the time, you could stake out that supermarket and follow the Brinks truck to the bank,

Nice, Kurt !! I'll wear all-black, a baseball cap, and shades when I do it.
I can tell you this, after talking with the banks....they aint gonna sell me any coins from the truck or their stock. The banks I talk to require I order THROUGH them, not FROM them.

From the coinstar faq...
Do I need to sort my coins before using the Coinstar Center?
No. Coinstar accepts any quantity of unsorted coins in your local currency. Coinstar's patented technology allows our processors to filter out foreign coins and other debris. However, these items may not be returned by our processors so it is a good idea to remove such items as Eisenhower silver dollars; 1943 steel pennies; foreign, damaged or sticky coins; pure silver coinage and other debris from your stored coins.
............. So all those silver coins that go thu the coinstar machines just go into a seperate dump box in the machine!? I've never seen a coinstar machine. Does it even have a reject tray?

Yes, Coinstar machines have a reject tray which is a nice place to find goodies that people have left accidentally  I have found plenty of normal change in the reject tray as well.

I feel your pain, I was waiting in line at the bank after cashng in change and an old man walks over to the machine with a jar of change and as he cashes it in I hear about 8 coins fall into the coin return, they all chimed like silver coins. He starts to leave after he is done, and I was really excited but did not want him to see me take his rejects, then the teller says, Excuse, sir, you have some change in the return.  I was mad, I had got the same teller when I go the cash for a box of pennies. I made o face at her
