ksyim Valued Member United States 56 Posts	Posted 05/07/2007 01:06 am I have difficulties in coin hunting in our local bank. I had one idea about coin hunting at casino. I think, casino would be another place where the most coins are circulated besides bank. Isn't it great idea? What do you think? Have you ever tried Coin hunting at Casino? Can you share your experience with us? thanks in advance. Edited by ksyim 05/07/2007 01:14 am Report this Post to the Staff

I know the casinos are favourite haunts of several coin hunters here in Australia. It seems to work well enough for them. Some folks have whiled away the hours looking through millions of coins, searching for those elusive mint errors and varieties. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

chrycopaul Pillar of the Community Canada 1106 Posts	Posted 05/07/2007 01:37 am I just read an article in Canadian Coin News about when they removed all the slots and tables from the Sands Casino, workers found over $19,000 in change, and tokens. They even found a folded $100.00 bill. They said that some of the change had been there so long they had to pry them out of the floor. Report this Post to the Staff
janknez Pillar of the Community United States 595 Posts	Posted 05/07/2007 08:11 am Yes, on a few occasions -- usually when I had lost all my gambling money at the blackjack table but my friends weren't ready to leave yet -- I cashed out $20 from a quarter slot machine and examined each one before putting it back in and pulling the handle, looking for certain State Quarters usually. I never found much worth keeping. I never found any silver. You can always tell a quarter or half dollar that has been in a slot machine -- they have a gazillion little dings all over on both sides. You have a better chance of hitting the jackpot on the machine than you do of finding any collectible coins. Jan Report this Post to the Staff
Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3233 Posts	Posted 05/07/2007 10:51 am I once bought a bunch of half dollar rolls from a Vegas casino hoping to find some silver. No luck. Just a bunch of new halves. It was a waste of time. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/07/2007 3:19 pm The problem with casino coins is that they take a lot of machine wear. I live just outside Atlantic City, and I've seen some of the most heavily-machined coinage imaginable circulating around the local stores. As in, on the desk in front of me is a 2005 Quarter with the reeding completely worn off. Things like that. There's a lot of coinage floating around a casino town, but not much of it is very pretty any more. Report this Post to the Staff
