small Coinstar find

Leaving a local grocery store I glanced at the coinstar machine and found these in the reject bin.
Total US was 86 cents with a 1956D wheatie, and very nice 1961 Lincoln penny (my birth year). There was also a Septa token (for public transportation) that I think is about $2.00 now. The bottom four coins are plastic. The foreign coins are a 1995 Brazil 50 centavos, a 1975 Panama coin, 2 2006 Mexico dollars, and a 1985 Philipinas 1 piso. Since I don't collect coins they will go into a jar of foreign coins I have found over the years and give them to my son when he gets older. One of these days I will join everyone here and get a detector. For now I will keep hunting with my eyes.
Keep hunting and post scans of your finds please!
Thanks,
Bob

also pulled a 59 quarter from one a while ago...overall they have been really generous to my kids ..lol..
have quite a collection of finds..
tell the kids go check the green machines!
I'm surprised a Coinstar would reject a Panamanian quarter-Balboa piece. It is, after all, struck by the US Mint on a US quarter blank. Aside from the design, it's no different than a US quarter.
