Dockwalliper Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I'm on a hot streak. Nothin' great but it seems there's always somthin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 A real handful today, literally. It astonishes me that people can use the machine and walk away when there is a pile of coins in the reject bin. It does help that the bin is low and not lit and black-lined.... Â --19 cents in Lincolns, no wheaties, several encrusted with something I hesitate to examine --20 cents in shiny new Roosevelt dimes--why were they rejected? --three Los Angeles bus fare tokens --four misc tokens: car wash, Normandie Arcade, Chuck-E Cheese (God I hate that place) and NO CASH VALUE --a 1999 British penny (my second in the past 2 months) Â and, best of all, Â --a 1950 West German 50 pfennig piece.

Dockwalliper Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 After being so hot the first half of the month my last 5 trips have netted me one rather gunky 1974 Canadian cent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topher Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 3 US cents, one British penny, and a German 2 Pfennig. Of course, it was my 6-year old daughter that checked it and got to keep them. I encourage my kids to check the Coinstar every time we go to the grocery store.

Those pesky German 2 €urocents show up in my change from time to time, but they are worth 3¢ so who is complaining? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwmehring Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Found this last week. Â Â And it even had a double die error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 With those earlier dates, Iranian coins used the SH system, not the AH or Hejira calendar, so with the SH you can add 622 + 1350 which equates to 1972.

tabbs Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Those pesky German 2 €urocents show up in my change from time to time, but they are worth 3¢ so who is complaining? Everybody here who wants the 1 and 2 Cent pieces to be done away with. They do have a neat edge, but apart from that they are just a nuisance. Unfortunately we still use them, unlike neighboring NL. Hmm, maybe I should take a couple with me to the US next time ...  Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Yesterday one Zincoln and one real one from before 1982 Today one Zincoln and one Canadian 10¢ dated 1969 with the Philadelphia mint edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 A single shiny Eurocent on the shelf of the machine (not in the reject chute). Like, someone looked at it and said "What the hell?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 10 pennies. 8 in the return and 2 on the floor. 6 memorials, 2 Canadian and 2 wheaties. 1941 & 1929. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted February 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Yeah, we have found the floor under the machine is a good place to check too Looks funny when you are crawling around on the floor fishing pennies out.

That's what kids are for. Mine are small enough to crawl behind the machine and check for coins that rolled away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dockwalliper Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Walked into the store and checked the return bin...empty. I was about to walk away when I noticed a container on the shelf. I picked it up and gave it a shake. It jingled. 4 quarters,4 dimes, 2 cents and a nickel, all Canadian. 2 race track slot tokens, a key and an elongated cent from Doubleday field in Cooperstown NY.

Gotta love people's habits. I'd keep it, this is where the money is currently. It's not the days when a magazine for 4.99 U.S. was 6.99 CAN Â They're too close to treat the Canadian currency as inferior. 1 canadian dollar = .9917 U.S. Dollars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I look across the river to Canada every day but I haven't been there in 7 years. When I do eventually cross the bridge again I will have a sack full of change to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
