Dockwalliper Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 CoinStar tonight. 7 mem cents 2 Canadian cents 1 Canadian dime 1 Namco game token 1 English new penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 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. Â 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreasureGirl Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 So, where is the reject tray? Â I wish there was a CoinStar somewhere in Rolla; there was one at my old grocery store at my folks' house but I never knew there was a reject tray and I could potentially find silver in it.

Scottishmoney Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Â 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I have trained my family,even my Grandson, to always check the CoinStar return and bring the coins to Papa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I have trained my family,even my Grandson, to always check the CoinStar return and bring the coins to Papa. Â Â 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.

Dockwalliper Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 2 more Canadian Dimes in the CoinStar tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggAndyy Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I tried to be sneaky the other day. The bottoms of the reject bins are hard metal so when the reject coins hit bottom the make a loud racket and folks look down to notice the hitherto fore unnoticed reject bin. Â I put a square piece of felt on the bottom of my local Coinstar machine reject bin the other day. When I checked back that evening not only were there no coins but the felt was taken as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Next time take an appriately sized piece of rubber, then superglue it to the bottom of the reject tray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I noticed that theres abetter chance of coins in the reject if the store is busy and loud. Request that the machine be moved to a noisy part of the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spike Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Today in change I recieved a blank penny. It was just a planchet. It has a raised rim, but no Mr. Lincoln and no Memorial. Looked like it had been circulating a few years... can't believe I was the first to grab it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 1934 $50 out of a register the other day! Â Â Â 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.

Mark Stilson Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 2 - 2000 P sacawagea dollars. Thing is they look like the were freshly broken out of rolls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 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.

1977topps Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 In the past week I have found: Â 1985 $50 bill - cool because I graduated high school in '85, and have a $1,$5, and $10 from '85 also. 1950D Wheat cent 1942 War Nickel found in my dryer (no, I wasn't cleaning it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreasureGirl Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 2 - 2000 P sacawagea dollars. Thing is they look like the were freshly broken out of rolls. Â And seven years from now we'll be finding Washingtons like that... Â P.S. I have never found a War nickel in circulation. Two silver dimes and a silver quarter, but no War nickels.

thedeadpoint Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Oooh... war nickels are my favorite to find. Besides the penny, old jeffs are the best looking worn circulation pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggAndyy Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 No, a nice VG or F Morgan is the best circulated numismatic piece ever. But for current circulating coins, none of them are great. Worn Franklins of days gone by were nice looking as well as Liberty Nickels. Maybe the Jefferson is OK, but nothing like our turn of the 20th century coinage for graceful aging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â 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.
