Does anybody know how to buy the coins from the Coinstar machines? As in, the bags of coins inside the machine that are picked up by armored car service or whatever. I would imagine those would be the real deal. People turning in Grandma's 50 year old coin bucket for beer money and whatnot.

You might be able to work a deal with the people who pick them up, but you're prolly talking thousands per load.
The machines are set to reject silver, steel and foreign coins. What did you hope to find?

I have found euros in the one at the grocery store near my house. Not bad, $1.27 each on the exchange rate.

That's interesting and depressing at the same time. Only just yesterday I dumped $40 worth of coins into a CS. There were a couple nickels rejected that I left along with some pennies I didn't get in before it wrote my receipt. I hand checked the entire set of coins before going up there but I guess I missed some. I'll never make that mistake again. And I may have a new way to pass the time while the significant other grocery shops.

I've never found anything collectable in the Coinstar machines, as I only know of two here in Welland. I did find a nice pile of pennies once though. Pennies everywhere, on the floor, in the reject bin, on the counter... Why don't people check to see if their coins are in/on the machine after they dump them?

Checked the supermarket, just a 2005d dime, no obvious reason it rejected.
I saw a couple dumping some coins as I was leaving. I noticed they put a reject back a couple times, so I asked to see it. "Give you a buck for it". Didn't take long to understand that a buck's more than 9¢, so I have a 1960d dime.
