Gary -
Yes, there is always coins up there. The pipe they use always seems to catch stuff. And I always fill a bag as I only think a bag holds a box of nickels. Most of the time the teller has no problem handing anything then fell to me.

I haven't used one in a few years, but I believe there is a rectangle opening at about knee level where the rejects come out.

They have one of those in the grocery store in town here right by the door. Every time I go by that thing I make sure to check the reject slot but after I dunno how many years I have yet to find anything but one time my daughter was in front of me and, of course, she reaches right in and pulls out an old Mercury dime. Figures doesn't it |

I have had a bit of luck with the coinstar machine at my local grocery store. I have mostly just found change that was bent out of shape, but I did once find a token for the "Cincinnati T-11 unit," though I'm not entirely sure what that would have been.
Just out of curiosity, have any of you guys ever been met with hostility from store employees who see you reach into the reject bin? I once had a grocery store employee yell at me...

Our credit union recently installed a machine. I haven't used it yet, but plan on doing so soon.
