No big thing but awhile back somebody mentioned about looking in "rejected" slot of these machines. I've been checking the one at a local store occasionally and yesterday was surprised to get 2-'64 silver Roosy's, 1-'42-S war nickel and 4 foreign coins of modern mintage. Like I said, no big thing but it brought back the "thrill" of the hunt. I can just imagine what the patrons of the store were saying, "Look at those people, scrounging in the coin counter, heavens, how disgusting!".

    Yeah, I get those looks when I am rifling through the charity change box at the supermarket check out. (Just kidding.)

    Hitting the Coinstar reject chute? That's what your kids are good for.
