Coinstar find

Quite a haul today. I've never seen this much in the reject bin. $4 in quarters alone.

    I live outside of Detroit, so finding Canadian coins in change is not uncommon. But this also had a couple dollars in US quarters that just didn't go through. Oh, and the key.

    This adds a whole new meaning to the idea of "collecting the keys."

    Interesting how there were so many Canadian coins there, but nary a Canadian cent! No longer minted, but still circulating......... are they being pulled out of circulation that fast?

    SHAZAM!!! Never saw such a haul in a coinstar return bin... have seen max three coins,

    well, one was a slug.... Cheers, RickO

    I guess I'll be hanging around the Coinstar machines now.

    Obviously a defective CS machine. It looks like someone put their coins to be counted in the reject bin.

    I could not believe it either. The machine is located near the exit of the grocery store, right next to a lottery machine. As I'm walking out, as I always do (and have taught the kids to do as well), I look at the machine and see just a ton of change in the reject bin. Couldn't believe there was that much, and that it was still there.



    Interesting on the Canadian cent, you're right. Not one in the lot.



    I rarely ever put anything in a Coinstar - do they accept the new US $1 coins? FWIW, I think this was a Madison.

    Jackpot. Who knows what treasures remain locked now that their key is missing?

    Enough Canadian to have a reason to go there.

    I don't understand why the pennies and quarters were rejected.

    The foreign stuff would generally be rejected, but it looks like some cruddy pennies gummed up the mechanism, so, all the rest was just bypassed. When I was working at the grocery store, we would often have to answer the "Manager service to the Coinstar" call. It's amazing what people put in those machines.

    That's crazy. On my recent GA-SC-NC road trip, we made many of our pit stops in grocery stores, and I checked a few CoinStar machines.

    What kind of drunk donkey left that much in the return slot ??

    That's simply ridiculous ????????
  • I would've left all the Canadian coins there too. I get too much of it already in change here in MA.

    But hey, more power to y'all who have gotten the goodies. My luck may change someday.

    And here I was proud of the silver dime I found today, along with a brand new Bombay Hook quarter and two pieces of plastic play money.

    I recently used the coin counter at my bank, for metal detecting coins.



    I asked for help, since I saw a small ring fall in the slot,



    when they opened the machine, I saw about 10+ coins in the reject slot, that I had just checked, they were higher up in the slot and I didn't see them.

    On the second I posted that I rarely find anything in the Coinstar.... well, yesterday I found

    three cents, a dime and a quarter.... nothing beyond face value, but it broke the drought.
