To think what happened in the Netherlands the year or two after that 10 center was minted... Could that coin have been held in Nazi hands? Or maybe used by the resistance to bribe someone.

Darn... i saw the 1983 cent and wondered why that was up there. The only thing that came to mind was the DDR. You had my heart pounding harder than usual.

33 for me Too bad I never check them...

The first 5 Guilden from Suriname you have there did very well in our Popular Banknote Idol a few months ago... ie its a well-loved note around here.

Ooh.. crispy. What dates?

Can't tantalize us with that description without posting pics!

bump

For all I know, that could be a common date, but the way you photograph it, it looks like a 1916 in all its glory

1991 - the one year of mint sets that I own.

Are you able to cherry pick a cool VAM variety every time you scan a dealer's lesser-grade stock? In other words, if you searched through a dealer's more common morgans, how often do you see a noteable VAM just sitting there?

huh... I didn't know the US had 2 pound notes.

What is the red token?

oooh... I don't know what it is, but that coins has a very different look from the usuals. Maybe its the toning.

congrats on the complete set. where can i see it all together?

I got an idea! How about we post in here when someone DOES find something in the coinstar!

Well, if we're talking about of all coins (I was just talking about the Jeff, roosie, lincoln, and washington), then my vote is for barber coinage that shows beautiful wear at all grades.

Oooh... war nickels are my favorite to find. Besides the penny, old jeffs are the best looking worn circulation pieces.

2004 $20 star I had to handle very large sums of money today and I got the urge to look through everything. Oddly, that star was the only interesting note in the bunch. I've never found a star note before, only bought them. Well, I guess I'm about to shell out $20 of my own money to give it a new home.

1988 $10

I'm not sure what my morals say about that. I want to do it but I'm just too honest.

seconded

so everyone always finds things in CoinStars. The only time I use them is when I'm too lazy to wait for the bank teller to rewrap my searched rolls. Therefore I know exactly what is in those rolls and what the CoinStar rejects. How do you guys not know what you are putting in the coinstar assuming it is your already-searched change? Or are you looking in some secret compartment that others don't look in after depositing their change.

Got an update for us?

1981 A $1 FRN Oldest note I've ever found besting the 85 $20 I found a few weeks ago, which bested the 93 $1 which I found many many many years ago.

Can you post a pic of the Ghana note? If I remember the last Popular Note Comp correctly, some Ghana notes did well.
