n9jig Pillar of the Community United States 1001 Posts	Posted 12/07/2016 8:18 pm I just found my best CoinStar find ever, well except for a few years ago with the $30 or so in coin I gave to the lady I saw leaving it (she looked like she needed it more than I did). At my local grocery I always head in the east door and stop by the service counter while the wife goes in to shop. This allows me to pass the CoinStar and check it out before stopping at the service desk to ask for foreign or odd coins and get my lottery ticket. Usually if there is anything there it is a token, Canadian coin or a few grungy US coins. Today the reject bin was chock full of all kinds of stuff. I scooped up 2 handfuls and stuffed them in my pocket before heading into the store and finding the wife. I went through what I could while pushing the cart (all I am allowed to do in a grocery store, married guys understand that...) I instantly found a Canadian quarter and then found a decent condition 1964 US quarter. Later I found a Polish 20 Groszy coin that would easily be mistaken for a dime. When I got home I discovered a beat up Canadian dime and a Polish 2 Grosze coin. The final count was $4.97 in US coins including the silver quarter, 2 Polish coins and 2 Canadian. Of the remaining US coins nothing of real interest was found, 22 Zincolns, 6 undistinguished nickels, 17 clad dimes and 10 clad quarters. Oddly there were no copper US cents. I will take it!

John77 Pillar of the Community United States 2942 Posts	Posted 12/08/2016 02:54 am Thanks, jbuck and santafeboy... Like I tell people who Coinstar hunt, timing is everything! I just keep hitting them day after day... you hit a lot of "bagels" or "0-fers" so to speak, but every once in a while you hit paydirt... I now regularly visit like 6 or 7 machines - 3 of them every day, the others when I'm in the area. CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets! Report this Post to the Staff
NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18060 Posts	Posted 12/08/2016 09:54 am I was in my local supermarket today and walked past the Coinstar. I could see something gleaming in the reject slot, and put my hand in quickly and grabbed a couple of coin-shaped objects. Outside the store, I checked my 'treasure' - one normal current UK penny and one watch battery!

Coincollector110 Pillar of the Community United States 818 Posts	Posted 12/11/2016 2:21 pm If there was an employee at my grocery store cleaning out the reject bin, they must be gone because I scored again after almost nothing for 9 months until last week! This time, I got 78 cents in ordinary change and a quarter from Aruba! Report this Post to the Staff

Smiling_Cat New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 12/11/2016 7:38 pm After weeks of nothing - my first Safeway Coinstar find: 1946 Roosevelt dime. It's not much, but I wanted to happy dance when I saw the date. Also got another dime and two pennies with later dates (no varieties or errors that I can see without the microscope).

Bryan78 Pillar of the Community United States 1068 Posts	Posted 12/12/2016 08:56 am Went to the store this morning and found Three Cents in the coinstar reject tray (nothing special)... When I went to check out (using self-checkout) there was 2 dimes and a cent sitting in the coin return... Nothing special with those either but hey, free money is always a good thing...
