That is cool when you find one of the old style notes especially with an early date. I have gotten some of the 1928-1934 $20's at the bank, but not lately.

I know, what is up? Lately no finds.

These things are not as pretty as the old MPC's, which I have a ton of leftover from my military brat days, but I still like them. I have some MPC's on my banknotebank page. Lot prettier than most pogs, though a couple of the feminine GI's were rather alluring

Some just hoarded them and bundled them all up and sent them to someone who cares Thanks SM_98

I have seen one, really , at the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank. They probably don't give tours post 9-11, but when I was in High School my class toured the FRB there. I guess for most of us the most interesting part was going down in the vaults and seeing the money. They had a small exhibit with the large denomination notes, many of which are now on their website. They also carefully handed out and kept track of samples of counterfeit money for us to examine, and then made sure it all came back. The largest note that most people will own is a $1000 bill, and even in heavily circulated condition they are going for over $1600 now. The $5,000 and $10,000's are quite rare, I believe on the latter there are only about 300 or so still in circulation that the Treasury has not collected. As a result they usually go for over $40,000 apiece.

My last Coinstar find was two Canadian 10¢ coins, previous to that was a Malaysian cent.

Next time take an appriately sized piece of rubber, then superglue it to the bottom of the reject tray.

Yeah, you better get out of the way when my 12 yr old daughter(loves money ) is on the way out of the store. She will run you over.

See the square hole in the centre of the machine - that is where all the goodies are. Just agree to search only the ones in Missouri and not here and all is well.

You would be amazed how many people never check the reject trays in the coin counting machines, I find coins all the time, the last was a Malaysian cent from 1996. But I have found wheat cents, silver dimes, lots of Canadian coins etc.

Yes, they are all the same thinness.

San Miguel_98 sent me these recently:

Not too exciting, but going through my wife's change, found a 1960 Canadian 5¢ a 1969-S nickel.

It is not a lot of luck, but a lot of effort. Since last summer I have been buying up $25 boxes of cents and going through them for the pre-1982 bronzes, all the other finds are welcome surprises, here are my results from last weeks search: About 1,000 pre 1982 bronzes and the following treats: USA 1912 -Another early birdy:) 1919 1941 1944 1945 x 2 1945-D 1946 1947-D 1951 x 2 1951-D 1952-D 1955 1955-D 1956-D x 2 1956 1958 1969-S x 2 1970-S x 2 1973-S x 2 1974-S x 5 1992 10% clip on the right side. The first roll I opened up had a 1955 cent in it. The 1912 came near the last roll of the 100 I opened. Last month I got a 1910, it amazes me that I can still find 90+ year old coins in circulation.

I tried to email Kyle about these when he came out with the bimetallics back in October, his email went down and I gave up

I wanted to get those, but never heard from Kyle regarding them

Notice he said "Linky Poo"

The only problem with solder removal is the slag, the material that remains after you have heated will not come off unless you use a metallic instrument and scrape it off.

One thing about Switzerland is that you will never get old banknotes, since they were demonetised.

Do you ever find any of the older rappen coins in circulation, I thought it was possible to find 19th century stuff in change?

1910 cent in a box search back in December.

Leave it be. You know how you see the Leave a Penny - Take a Penny dishes in many stores now, I have on a couple of occasions spied wheat cents in them. I put a cent or nickel in and adopt the little orphan. I just hate seeing a wheat cent in for instance the Tim Hortons donation box and not being able to adopt it.

I have been checking the coinstar reject trays for a long time, I have found silver too. Only problem now is my money hungry 12 yr daughter races me to the coinstar, and she wins the finds.

After the Standing Liberty she will struggle to have a better find
