j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 02/29/2008 3:54 pm I walk into the supermarket and there's an OG putting pounds upon pounds of pennies into the Coin Star. I take a look-peek-see at the last half-gallon jug and see they're Wheaties. I ask him would he simply sell them to me. In his Greek patois, he tells me he works for Meester Millionaire and Meester wants a Coin Star receipt from the machine for every coin he sent Zorba to cash in. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHH !! ^ I LOVE DOING THAT Report this Post to the Staff

shappa Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 02/29/2008 4:03 pm Should have paid him $5 him wait a minute while you bought rolls of quarters and dimes from the checkers and traded him. He makes $, you get coins and master gets his precious reciept. Report this Post to the Staff
decoinboy Valued Member United States 56 Posts	Posted 02/29/2008 4:05 pm On that note, does anyone know who services the coinstar machines? Would it be one of the armored car companies in the area or does the coinstar company have its own people because this possibly be a great way to get a hold of old coins that get dropped in.

shappa Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 02/29/2008 4:06 pm Also, Check the rolled coin before they go into the coinstar ...and don't forget to give the OG your name and # so you can get to the coins next time. Report this Post to the Staff

dcarver9183 Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 02/29/2008 4:08 pm oh well...another missed opportunity Report this Post to the Staff
shappa Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 02/29/2008 4:09 pm Another thought... The coinMaster machine I check out would have kicked those wheaties out in the reject bin. I just found the edit button! Sorry, I really didn't mean to make you feel worse. Edited by shappa 02/29/2008 4:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 02/29/2008 4:10 pm Oh man...I share your pain, LOL! You mean to say this guy returns to "mr. millionaire" with Coinstar receipts, only for the guy to be sent back to the grocer for redemption? Oh well...I hope there weren't any 09-25 wheats in there.

Coin Star doesn't know which bank in which area, etc." If you had the time, you could stake out that supermarket and follow the Brinks truck to the bank, Report this Post to the Staff

Dillon Valued Member United States 240 Posts	Posted 02/29/2008 6:45 pm ive always wanted to tear into one of those coinstars, I cant imagine what coins people have put in them Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 03/01/2008 05:31 am Nice, Kurt !! I'll wear all-black, a baseball cap, and shades when I do it. I can tell you this, after talking with the banks....they aint gonna sell me any coins from the truck or their stock. The banks I talk to require I order THROUGH them, not FROM them.
