Scored 90 cents (9 dimes) but no silver. The machine just rejected regular (clad) coins

Yesterday's grocery store visit netted two corroded post 1982 cent, a clad dime and a 1946 dime.

90 cents towards the grocery bill. theres nothing wrong with that.

My recent Coinstar finds have been poor. Three corroded Lincoln Memorial cents has been all I have found in the past few weeks. Two of the three weren't really that bad while the third was in sad shape. The Coinstar machines seem to be picky when it comes to corroded or dirty coins.

"A dime in the Coinstar yesterday.... my wife scolded me, said I should leave it for kids to find.... I told her "It may be a silver dime... or other coin like an IHC." She just shook her head..... Cheers, RickO"

great hobby.... scrounging for money in machines. You can make a lot more panhandling on the street corner in my town.

COINS MAKE CENTS

I found 2 dimes and 2 cents today. Yay! Just clad but hey 22 cents

Every time I go down to check the nearest machine, at the Grocery store, I end up spending a heck of a lot more than I find.....usually bakery goods which I don't get at home and I should never eat......but that's for another day...

I picked up a quarter yesterday....not sure why it was rejected, just a clad quarter in decent shape. Not too exciting but made the trip to the grocery store a bit more fun!

I scored twice at Walmart last night.

First I watched as a scruffy dirty middle aged guy emptied a couple zip lock bags. Then, the eager excitement as I watch him take his slip and walk away w/o so much as a glance toward the reject slot. My eyes bulged as I saw the chute about as full as I have yet seen it! ... but alas, just $1.19 of crap and a Canada dime.

Then a bit later I spied an elderly woman just finishing up, and, again, oblivious to the reject chute. (Two in a row is pretty good, because from what I have observed, most_folks do check.) She must have put in only a small quantity as there was only one coin reject, but one of, if not _the oldest I have retrieved!

And here is a small haul from a couple weeks ago... again, no silver.

Say, Ricman, why not change your thread title to "THE OFFICIAL COINSTAR THREAD" and we could have one main thread everyone can post their finds to?

My wife asked me what i was doing when i checked the reject bin. Looking for coins, I said. She also shook her head also.
