Amazing to see all those silver dimes!
I made my first ever finds in the Coinstar at my local supermarket in England today! I often walk past the machine and have a discreet look at the reject tray, but it's usually empty. At lunchtime today I saw several coins in it, and scooped them out! Three ordinary recent-date British 5p pieces, one ordinary recent-date British 10p piece, a 2012 Canadian quarter in virtually mint state and three Spanish 5-eurocent coins, dated 2005, 2009 and 2010!

It's not junk- it's 68¢ that you didn't have before! ;)

I rarely ever visit Safeway but I was there buying snacks with friends. I always tell them to look at the coinstar and today was a little surprise... two Canadian dimes to break a nothing streak. Now that TD got rid of their coin counters, the only place I know with a coinstar is Safeway, which I infrequently visit, and other banks I don't belong to.

Went to 2 Coinstars today, and scored on both of them. First one had a bunch of sticky pennies but among them was a 1939 and a 1944. Second one had some change, which came to a few beat up quarters, a Canadian dime, and 2 more Canadian quarters. Total take from them both was $2.34

$1.15 that some one forgot about. 3 quarters 4 dimes. All clad. Helped make up for the fact that the machine ate one of my halves... Up $0.65.

ok, I know its a page late but HOLY COW those dimes! I just cant understand how someone wouldn't hear all that hit the reject tray?!?
I have been in a dry spell at my coinstars lately. Hopefully it heats up again.

Quote: robbudo the coinstar was over flowing with silver! 148 silver dimes. Note that I've been checking coinstar machines like 3 times a week for over a decade and never found anything better than a single silver quarter. Amazing. My best find was the time I found two merc dimes or the time I found 133 wheat cents (All with common dates). I might have blown a gasket over 118 silver dimes.
