Hello list: Has anyone found anything good at the bottom change tray on a Coinstar machine? I've found a 1942-D Mercury dime, several of the Jefferson Silver War Nickels (1942-1945 series), and several Wheat Cents in the 40's-50's in the last year. It's nice that old coins can still be found from cashed in piggy banks and cans! |

It's nice that cs are tightly adjusted. They can tell silver coins and kick them back.

Everyone keeps talkign about these coin stars. I have seen them before but do you have to have access to open them to get the coins your talking about?

Open access. Much like change return slot on a vending machine.

Just the other day I found a 1958 silver shilling in the reject tray.People don't seem to look at what it is they're dumping into the machines.

I have never seen a coin in the Coinstar machine reject tray, ever. What am I doing wrong?

Shopping where underpaid employees check the slot for a living.

I have the same problem: the word seems to be out on these machines in my area, slots are they are always empty, and I often see others checking them, also!

Yeah a lot of non-collector Americans really astonish me with their interest in coins. You would love it up north here where everyone still ignores their change: tons of. 999 nickel around, wheats still to be found, and even the occasional silver dime!

Watched a lady dump her coins, pick up a reject and throw it back in the hopper.
Rejected again, and she left it.
201o Canadian dime, now the Salivation Army's problem.

"I have never seen a coin in the Coinstar machine reject tray, ever."
Ditto for me, and recently I've made it a point to check every time I'm in a store with one.

We get lots of foreign coins and interesting tokens in the local Coinstar here. Mostly from South America.
I'd *love* to find some silver. :-)

Coinstars here have dark green reject slots which make it hard to see if there's anything there. Today I saw a cent in the slot so I snagged it. As long as my finger was already there I felt around and sure enough there was another coin in the back, not visible. That turned out to be a 1964 dime, the first silver I've found in a Coinstar.

My daughter beats me to the slots on any type of machine all the time. My wife tells me that I taught her "that". ...and it pays off too!  Edited by oih82w8
