Mine is still 'out of order'.... I am about to lodge a formal complaint with management.....Of course, since the day I saw the manager scoop out a handful of coins, I am sure he is just as bothered as I am....Cheers, RickO
75 cents today at Wal-mart. Most of the CS users take the paper slip right up to the Customer Service counter to redeem for paper money. There is always a line at the Customer service desk so many times the user/loser sees me recovering their left behinds.
I see their surprise and agitation in my peripheral vision but never make eye contact. Several have taken a step towards me or raised a hand but they never have the gumption to actually intercept me.
Not sure if they fear losing their place in line or just think better about confronting a 6' 7" 255lb guy ... haha
The 1926 was in the "take a cent" bowl at the Post Office. The '64-D dime and the halves were "internal reject bin" coins that a teller at my credit union saved for me today.

Still in drought mode..... Hope the machine is fixed soon... probably jammed with some great finds...that the repair person will get. Wow... there's a thought... I should get a job servicing these machines... Wouldn't that be fantastic...imagine what these guys find....Cheers, RickO
Still a dead coinstar in the market.... I lodged a complaint with the service desk..... they assured me it would be repaired this week. I asked if they would give me a handful of change to make up for my losses... .. they were not amused. Cheers, RickO

I can see it now...a pic of RickO on the store bulletin board with a notation to not to serve this man because he has been causing a disturbance.
Well, I really did not create a disturbance.... the counter manager did look at me with that 'deer in the headlights' look when I said that... Cheers, RickO

Reminds me of a few years ago, I always look under the machine and I had a store manager specifically ask me NOT to look under the machine. Uh, I have found silver dimes that way more than once.
Todays finds were a Canadian cent and a Canadian quarter.

37 cents modern US and a 2007 Mexican 10 pesos today. Possibly one of the the lesser varieties, (not the one with reverse denticles). Will post photo on the darkside forum at some point.

I did not really think you did sleep by the machine However, you find coins far more often than I do... I think the store clerks keep a sharp eye on the machine at my market...I mentioned once already that I saw a store manager scoop some coins out while I was in the check out line...Cheers, RickO
Only 12 zincolns in the Coinstars. Then this afternoon I stopped by the credit union and they had "internal rejects" waiting for me. Will post after I mow the lawns.

And now since it is raining and I cannot mow the lawns:
Went to one of my credit unions to cash out half dollars that I had searched for silver. The coin machine went out of order and I had to asked if the teller could service it. When they opened it I peeked into the white internal reject bin and all of these were all of the non-bent quarters. I was pleased as punch that the teller let me buy them!

WOW, WOW AND WOW!!! Fantastic.... Did you get them at face value?? Amazing... I wish my CU had a coinstar...I know the tellers very well and they would save them for me... Cheers, RickO

It is a De La Rue coin machine and yes I got those at face. Have to take in a box of candy!

While not a Coin Star, breaking down a Bucket Seat off a 1966 Mustang, and between the upholstery and the foam was a 1963 dime. Guess someone lost their coffee money 52 years ago.

My brother and I used to look through old car salvage yards to look at cars - never thought of checking the seats for change.

One coin at my local Wegmans coinstar reject bin. It is a 1951 dime. A similar machine at a K-Mart had 45 cents in assorted coins in a bag on the shelf next to the insert bin.
Was putting off taking an accumulation of cash to the credit union, finally decided to go and do it since it will be closed until Tuesday. On the way in stopped by the coin machine, reached in and pulled out these:
Love that filthy quarter!

Nice haul... two silvers.... and those dimes can hide in the corner of the reject bin...especially if the paint is a tad worn... I found one that way also, and it was silver. Lately though... nothing.. for about two weeks or more... Cheers, RickO

With the luck you have with that machine they would have given you a handful of toned coins
Reminds me of a few years ago, I always look under the machine and I had a store manager specifically ask me NOT to look under the machine. Uh, I have found silver dimes that way more than once.
Todays finds were a Canadian cent and a Canadian quarter.
Well.. the machine is repaired... however, nothing in the reject slot today...
Cheers, RickO
So you’re saying there’s a chance!!!
Dumb couple of days, a corroded Zincoln, a nickel and a dime and that is all.
.36c Canadian and one of those souvenir pennies. Left the wooden golf tee. Not much but breaks a 2 week dry spell.
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.

Five days since the machine was fixed and not a single coin....
Cheers, RickO
25c Canadian, another 49c in USA and a poor old codger 1921 cent that had a recent case of road rash
Well, at least you are finding things... I am beginning to think you sleep by that coinstar machine....
Cheers, RickO
A Canadjun 10c coin. No I don't sleep by the damned machine, but I wish I could get the stuff that accumulates when I am not there.
I did not really think you did sleep by the machine

As I was passing by the Coinstar in Walmart I saw a pile in the reject slot. I got 65 Lincolns.
While not a Coin Star, breaking down a Bucket Seat off a 1966 Mustang, and between the upholstery and the foam was a 1963 dime. Guess someone lost their coffee money 52 years ago.

Got a dime, not silver.

28 cents USA and 35c in Canadian.
Nothin, nada, zilch, zero - skunked.

5 Lincolns today.
@SaorAlba .... I do believe you find more coins in the machines than anyone else....Two silvers as well.. Cheers, RickO
@ricko My job takes me into a lot of stores, my hobby takes me to a lot of banks.
I want that same job.
I've already got the hobby.
I missed the silver dime at first! It was in the corner

5 different cents in American dosh. 45c in Canadian dosh.
Often it takes many years to refine our Coinstar searching skills.
With perseverance and fortitude, some of us can improve on this most elaborate and complex endeavor.
However, it is never possible to master it.
