Well it was a good thing I went to Safeway tonight..
Began with finding a solo nickel in the CoinStar machine. As I began walking away with dismay, I noticed a few more coins on top of the machine! Those turned out to be two 50 Centavos coins and a 1 Peso from Mexico, along with 1 Euro Cent from Spain.
It doesn't stop there though. As I began checking out, I noticed 30 more cents in the change machine they had in that checkout line. And then another 13 cents on the ground! And then a final 32 cents sitting in another change machine in a different checkout line. I finished with a grand total of 80 cents and 4 foreign coins.
Now it doesn't seem like much, but when you think about the 5 different people who left their coins for me to find, and finding a free 80 cents in about 10 minutes, well it adds up!

In a Wegman's Coinstar's tray, I found: *A 1949 silver Roosevelt dime. *A 1966 clad Washington quarter that's still in pretty decent shape (how I wish it were a silver one). *$1.25 in Canadian Dollars (a 1993 Loonie and a commemorative bravery quarter from 2006). *A 1950 5 Franc coin from Belgium.

Got 10 foreign coins from a gas station today: 4 Canadian (3 pennies, 1 dime), 3 United Kingdom (10p, 20p, 1964 6 pence), 1 Hong Kong (1965 50 cents), 1 Mexico (1998 10 centavos) and 1 South Korea (2012 10 won). Not too bad after filling up my gas tank.

Had my first one worth mentioning today.
I had to go to the grocery store, & on the way out I took a look in the CoinStar reject tray. At first I didn't see anything, but I looked again, & golly! A 1956 dime.

Another picture worthy find happened last night!  That's $1.15 in change, a few foreign coins, a religious key chain, and most importantly, a 1942 wheat, and 2 silver dimes, a 1961-D and a 1964! |

Went grocery shopping on the 4th of July and checked the coinstar reject bin on the way out. Found some modern coins and these two dimes.  |

Took the dump of my 2nd best box ever of kennedys, stuck my hand in the slot and out came 2 washingtons a 64 and a 58. Makes the trip worth the time. Free silver and a good giggle under my breath! This machine is a good one. I get something 50% of the time. But this was the best to date silver wise. Gotta love those free slot machines!
