You know, even though it may be a crappy old zincoln, it is still fun to !Find! something. Everyone keep looking, I really like the metal ruler idea, just have to start walking with a stiff leg to carry it around.  |

The Coinstar machine at the grocery store said on the screen "We're sorry but we are unable to take any more coins. Please click back for other options" or something to the point that the machine is full. I'm wondering how much those bags can take when full and what happens to allow the machine to function again.

The staff will empty the machine. I believe they just remove the bag of coins and put an empty one in, but correct me if I'm wrong.

I know this might not seem like much, but I could barely contain my excitement of finally seeing something of value in the reject bin.  |

In a Coinstar's reject tray, I found a cent, two nickels, a dime, and best of all, a 1936 Washington. It's pretty corroded, but a silver quarter is still a silver quarter.

Finding an early date silver Washington in Coinstar is probably better than the handfuls of foreign change and the few silver dimes I've found recently! Any silver quarter found in circulation always seems more special than any 90% half dollar in my opinion.

A 1970 s nickel in AU condition, a beat up dime, a 1967 Half Dollar some foreign coins, about $1 Canadian and a nail.

I believe they just remove the bag of coins and put an empty one in, but correct me if I'm wrong It's been over three years since I've seen a Coinstar machine get serviced, but I think nothing has changed. All of the coins drop into one big metal box (maybe around 15"w X 15"L X 1'H) that are covered with a bolted top when someone from Coinstar switches boxes. There are no bags, and the company(s) that have the machines can NOT get into the coin area. Coinstar just leases floor space from the various stores to display their equipment. The only access stores have to a Coinstar machine is a key that can switch the counter to change to 100% payback (instead of 91%)for store usage of coin dumping. The Coinstar guy replaces the full box with an empty box and wheels the full box (with a dolly; the boxes are VERY heavy) to his truck. I think the truck has powered lifts to raise the filled boxes up to the truck floor. Oh, and the driver zeroes out the coin counter on the machine before he goes. Hopefully, my memory is correct this time. |

Do you guys look JUST in the reject tray on these machines? Or do you look around on the floor? I have never found coins this way.
