I'll admit that when I'm shopping and I see someone dumping a lot of coins, I'm especially sure to check after the dumping is over! Report this Post to the Staff
Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3332 Posts	Posted 07/14/2017 10:59 am I've found most of the loot in grocery store machines. Don't know if that's pertinent, but true in my case.

Coincollector110 Pillar of the Community United States 818 Posts	Posted 07/16/2017 07:37 am Haven't found anything too noteworthy since that haul from Walmart back in June. I find that I'm more likely to find coins in the dumping tray or on the floor in front of the machine rather than in the reject slot since everyone I watch never leaves anything behind.

WheatBackPenny Valued Member United States 406 Posts	Posted 07/16/2017 09:20 am A few weeks ago I was dumping all my pennies from CHRing into the Coinstar and my sister had lots of coins ($75 worth!) to exchange. When she was putting them into the machine, I heard something clank in the reject bin and pulled out a 1938 six pence coin from England. I was very surprised, because I had previously gone through all of her coins and do not know how I could have missed it. It is also positive that it was stuck in the machine and her coins dislodged it. Also, I found a 2014 Canadian loonie. Report this Post to the Staff
Illegaltender Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 07/16/2017 11:29 am Yep, plenty of coins get lodged in that machine. Getting an Amazon gift certificate once, I dislodged a 2006 Australian half dollar Report this Post to the Staff
n9jig Pillar of the Community United States 1003 Posts	Posted 07/16/2017 12:20 pm Quote: How do you find coins in Coinstar machines, etc? I've been looking in reject trays, change trays, etc. They are always empty. Is there a trick to this (stalking people dumping change, buying junk food)? It is usually a matter of timing. Get there soon after someone dumps and runs without checking the reject bin. Some stores apparently have an agreement with CoinStar to dump excess coins, it is probably in the contract that allows CoinStars to be in their stores. I think that might account for a good chunk of the coins we find in the reject bin. Coins that make it to the cashier's and is not needed to rebuild the drawers for the next day gets dumped and a receipt received and held by the service desk. I saw a store employee dumping a big batch of coins from their manual sorter (long plastic tubes) in a CoinStar last week and she tossed the rejects in the trash after running them through the machine a coupe times. The regular service desk manager saves them for me but she was on vacation... I really wish I could have seen what she threw away! Report this Post to the Staff

A Harpers Ferry quarter , a clad dime, three Jefferson nickels, three LMC (one copper and two zinc), and two Canadian quarters. It's better than a poke in the eye with a stick! Good hunting everyone!
