Coinstar Finds! (Including Bank Counters And Other Machines)

Thanks, Errers and Varietys and jbuck!

Found $0.31 in the Coinstar reject tray today, or rather the wife did. The small haul included a clad quarter, a zinc cent, and a 1977 Canadian nickel, which I believe is actually 99.9% nickel.

Cheers!

two nights ago the publix coinstar machine yielded a 1968 canadian quarter (50% silver!), a 2005 2-cent euro from spain and a 2014 10 kopiyok from ukraine. I believe that's the first ukraine coin I've ever found.

Excellent!

I was in France over the weekend and visited Blois Castle. I tried to buy a medallion (see 'Coins depicting Horses' topic) from a vending machine, but the €2 coin I put in got stuck. I told the man at the desk and he examined the machine and extracted a coin that was blocking it - a 2022 Mexican $10 that some tourist had probably inserted in error. He then got my €2 out and I was able to buy the medallion. He had no use for the Mexican coin so it's now in my collection!

Nice find, NumisRob.

Ynnad, appears they were rejected because of the zinc rot eating away the metal.

Again, coinstar at my workplace never ceases to amaze me:
TWO! Standing Liberty quarters, and 28 cents in spend
The better condition slq I determined the date to be 1928, and the other one dateless.

Outstanding!
