I casually eye the reject slot as I walk by and if I see something I grab it. Once the slot was completely full of cents (over 250) and I got them all. I haven't found any silver, but a few wheat cents and various foreign coins do turn up from time to time.

I liked the idea of sending one of my kids to check out the machine because I would feel weird doing it myself. but I would let them keep whatever they found, even if it were valuable. I did the same thing once after I received an ebay shipment. It was an autographed Harry Potter card. The card was surrounded by a bunch of "common" cards used as packing. I actually kept the cards and threw them in my dresser drawer. Several months later I was cleaning out the drawer and offered the cards to my kids, turns out my daughter checked out one of the "Hagrid" cards used as packing and it was worth $40!! LOL! She asked if she had to give it back. My loss was her gain. She was very happy. :)

As usual I checked out the local Coinstar at the grocery store today and got lucky...... I found 3 game tokens to a local place, 2 cents from the late 90's and 4 silver dimes 2 Roosies 1948 & 1949 and 2 mercs 1918-D and 1930.

Turned out to be a good day

Ive tried to keep this to my self cause I didn't want any competition in my area but I have found silver on a number of occasions in the reject bins of the "change only" toll booths. I don't know how many states uses them but in Houston they are all over. At the main toll centers the reject bins are sealed with screws, but on the on ramps and exits they are open. One day After rush hour I went threw and found $15 dollars worth of change, 4 silver quarters and two silver dimes.

I just got back from dropping off a movie at the local Red Box, which is right next to the Coin Star machine. There was 3 handsful of change in the Coin Star reject bin, totaling $4.36. Included was a 1958 Jefferson, 2 1940 S Lincolns, a BU 2006 Canadian nickel, 1999 Canadian Millenium August quarter and a 1985 British penny. My only other Coin Star find is a 1986 Bermuda dime.
