On Saturday my 7 year old and I went and inspected the Coinstar machine in a wally world, of course I was not permitted to check the reject bin - where she found a 2000 Bahamas 25 cent coin. But I did look behind the machine in the corner I spied a coin with a hole in it that I suspected was a Japanese 50 yen coin. But I could not reach it, and you can guess the only one who could reach it was my Boss - it turned out to be a 1969 Danish 25 Ore coin. I wanted the coins, so after back and forth negotiations she finally agreed to sell them to me for a quarter each. Being the youngest in the family, and the Boss, does have it's unique privilege.

This was sort of a crazy find, a dime that had been rotated in a dryer drum for several months and had upset rims, and three Jordanian coins - I could only identify them from the picture of King Hussein, they are dated 1991(2) and 1994. After looking at them more closely I can identify them as 5 Qirsh coins - they are larger than a quarter and worth about 8 cents each. First time I have ever seen coins from Jordan, and I wonder how they got here.

My post count would be much higher if I posted "nothing" every time I found nothing.

 

 

:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: A high post count makes a CoinPeep happy. (At least this CoinPeep). I probably check these machines 4 or 5 times a month. I only post something when in the mood because all of you lucky folks are talking about your great finds. :sorry: Sure pick on the guy with the low post count. :sorry::sorry:

Yesterday -

 

2 Mexican 50 Pesos coins

1 Mexican 500 Peso coin

4 Canadian Dimes

1 Canadian Quarter

1 USA'ian Quarter

1 USA'ian Dime

1 E. Caribbean States 25 Cents

1 Singapore 10 cents

1 Belizean 5 cent coin dated 2003.

 

The last coin for me was the coolest, it has QEII on it, but the same portrait has been used since back in the British Honduras days - a portrait from the 1950's - seemingly HRH doesn't age on Belizean coins. :hysterical:
