Tried out CoinStar.. started out with $ 2.20 balance before adding any coins .. in the reject tray found a 1957 Dime, 3 -2015 BU Canadian quarters, a 1964 US Quarter, Mexican something .. all of which were never in my bag of coins ..

How do you people keep doing this?
This is my best CoinStar find

The only coin I ever found in a CoinStar was a slick 1954-D Roosie.

I agree with Ricko that the employees of the store most likely swoop in as soon as the customer leaves, and the only "finds" are when the store is busy and the employees forget.

The funny thing is that after I pulled the dime out of the tray, I kept waiting to be stopped, and felt somewhat like a shoplifter!

Maybe just my paranoia kicking in......

And another thing- Don't forget to look under and around the machine as well! You will find stuff that fell.

Yes!

Under the machine.......crap, never thought about that! I guess that's why I am lousy at metal detecting!

Just today I was warned by a store manager to not check the machine! Uh huh.

Now that's not right! Probably because he/she wanted to check the machine before you did?

I keep checking my CoinStar, but that elusive 1802 half dime hasn't found its way into the reject tray. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.



Instead of using CoinStar to dispose of my hoard of pocket change, I have been feeding gargantuan amounts of nickels, dimes, and quarters into the automated checkout at WalMart, backing up the line for miles and miles. I do it partially to avoid paying tax on my own money via CoinStar, but mostly I do it because I so enjoy the dirty looks from the girl who supervises the registers.

Just today, as I was leaving the market, I walked past the Coinstar and saw a bunch of coins..

There were five quarters and three dimes.... all clad though.... dunno why they were kicked out,

but I beat everyone to them.... nice haul. Cheers, RickO
