After a dry spell of a couple months I finally got a score. A lady was using the machine at the local supermarket as I walked by so I passed by to check my lotto ticket and when I returned she was long gone but left a pile in the reject tray. In it was $2.10 in spendable coin, including one half dollar, and a smattering of other coins. There was also a 1999 Canada dime and the ubiquitous CR2032 coin-cell battery.  Another addition to my chum jar, as well as the trash and my little saved-coin tray.

Outstanding!  Does that battery have any charge? It is what is in the keyfob for the wife's car.

I have a tester that came with my "battery box" full of batteries... that I bought on Amazon.

It did test almost dead. I buy CR2032's by the dozen annually. Between my key fobs, AirTags and some other devices I go thru them pretty regularly. It never occurred to me to toss them in my change jar though.

Thank you for the report.  My keyfob uses the thinner 2025. I know a 2032 will not work because I tried one when I ran out of 2025. The cover cannot snap in place.  Oh well.

Silver keeps turning up in local machines. This quarter was my reward for a supermarket run today.
