    • two 1943 Lincolns (I winced when I imagined how many wheat cents the machine probably accepted that day)

    I think it rejects all Wheaties, but not positive. Would be easy enuff to test...

    Went to Walmart yesterday. On the way out I went by the Coinstar Machine. It took me two hand fulls to clean it out. I got .64 in cents ,nickels and a dime plus a Canadian nickel. No silver.

    Long drought here, but some improvement -

    Yesterday (9/12), Coinstar at my home grocery store yielded 3 nickels, a copper cent, and a brass token.

    Tonight (9/13), Coinstar at home grocery store produced 85 cents (including a brand new George Rogers Clark quarter), 3 coins from Kuwait and one other odd Middle Eastern coin.

    The eighty-five cents included a 1956-D Roosevelt silver dime!

    Found a single cent in one last night. :D It wasn't even old or beat up. lol

    The one I found yesterday was. It was a Zincoln that was so corroded it was even missing part of the rim.

    I threw it into the parking lot.

    Maybe it will become a Bowtie Fantastic?

    Jackpot at my local Walmart today! Twenty-one cents in what might be the new undated plastic prototype coinage from the US Mint. The dimes look FB and even though the cent has some rim damage it still looks like a keeper. Do you think any of the TPGs will certify them. :D

    Two clad Rossies today. I'm not sure why they were rejected. Since I first read this post I've probably scooped up at least $5 face in US, Canadian, and misc. items. Occasionally a few silver dimes. No other silver - yet! Still hoping.

    My wife was embarrassed when I left the checkout today to quickly check out the reject slot and was shocked when I showed her the two dimes I retrieved. It was a double bonus as she had to pay at the register. ;)

    Don't forget to check the dump tray as I have found coins there too.

    Thank you!

    Nothing too exciting, been a couple of weeks out of circulation post surgery. Today I got out and checked a coin machine and found $1.15 in Canadian change, no silver.

    @SaorAlba ...That is fantastic.... I have not found any coins on the sorting counter.... heck, I haven't been finding any in the reject slot for a couple of months now...at least I think it is that long. And you get double silver.....SUPER!! Cheers, RickO

    Not a big deal, but the '44 Lincoln was kind of cool to find in an otherwise ho hum bunch.

    Local Walmart haul including a 1941 wheatie and a 65 year of 1953-D Jeff.

    How can a grown adult get so excited over seventeen cents in loose change?
