I was born in 58 and graduated from hs in 76. I am always hunting for those coin years. I went through a fast food drive thru today and as the window person gave my receipt and fourteen cents in change, almost dropped my change. Safely pocketed my change and looked down and there was about a dollar in shiny coins on the ground below the window. My truck was too close to open the door and pick them up. Next time Im going to stop short and check for coins on the ground below the window. Out of the 14c, I ended up with three MS 2020-D MS cents to holder.

I have seen store employees scoop up the change in the reject bin and put it in their pocket. It belongs to whomever picks it up. I did, however, have a woman come up to me as I was scooping coins out and said "Oh, I did not realize there was a reject slot... I just dumped my coins and got my receipt cashed in." I gave her the coins. Cheers, RickO
So store employees are incapable of stealing? I'm not saying that you're wrong re ownership, I don't know who owns the coins, or, to put it another way, when the title to the coins passes from the person who abandons them to the person who recovers them and if there is an intermediate party who has title to the coins, but I do know that the fact that some store employees take the abandoned property sometimes does not, by itself, make it either the policy of the landlord (store) or legal, and, if the store gives access to the CoinStar reject slot as a perk to its employees, it doesn't mean that it extends that privilege to anyone who walks in off the street.

You must be a lawyer with too much time on your hands! 😂🤣
I haven't found anything in either of "my" coinstars in at least 5 months now. Today tho... while I was changing my laundry from washing machine to dryer I came across this pile of coins sitting on top of the trash bin. Didn't scoop it up immediately... went about my business, came back and it was still there so... A nice donation to my laundry fund. If this isn't deemed worthy of this thread, please feel free to delete it
@ricko said: @gargoyle62.... Any silver among those coins? Nice find anyway....Cheers, RickO
Nope. I was excited when I first saw that dirty dime on the right but it's a '69. Only things of note are a '40 nickel (I know, nothing special but...) and an actual copper cent - that's going to a guy I work with who collects them
My long dry spell with Coinstar ended tonight. I was picking up a few items at Kroger, and made my usual check of the Coinstar. There was an assortment of Canadian and US Coins. When I got home, I looked them over, and found this 1964 D Roosie. The coins are currently being quarantined until they are free of any and all contamination.
Waiting in line for the cashier today, i noticed a lady using the Coinstar, that I had already checked. As I was leaving, I went back and checked, and there were a few coins in the reject bin. Ended up with some beat up U.S. Coins, a 1964 Nederlanden 25c and a 2002 Euro 5c.
Well, yesterday broke the drought. Two dollars and 17 cents.... four quarters, eleven dimes, a nickel and two cents... No wheaties or silver though... quite a few new dimes...Cheers, RickO
Yep.... penny candy, five cent chocolate bars - all types, dime cokes and phone calls in the pay booths...day old bread for sixteen cents a loaf....so many other things...Cheers, RickO
Found my first silver in over a year at the local Coinstar machine earlier today. I went to pick up some of my mom's favorite soup at Kroger's for Mother's Day and found this nestled away in the reject slot.
BEGINNERS LUCK....
Good morning : My girlfriend works in a grocery store nearby that has a coinstar.I showed her some of my past findings.So for the first time she checked hers out.This is what she found : 1892-O barber dime;1946+1952 sliver dimes;four wheaties including a 1919 and a presidential dollar coin.
@1040taxman... Wow.... Now that is an amazing Coinstar haul.... Never found anything approaching that in one bunch. Heck... never found anything special beyond some silver dimes and wheaties... and one silver quarter. Cheers, RickO
Great find today at the grocery store! It seems like on weekends I always find something, weekdays are usually not as good. Some interesting ones in here, 3 silver including a Franklin with what looks to be a lamination crack on his head, a Hong Kong coin, and a Zambia coin.

What is the foreign silver coin. Almost looks smaller than a dime
I've actually found some stashes of coins at coin machines the past couple of weeks. Lots of regular change, about $3 in Canadian dosh, a coin from British Honduras, some tokens, some Euro coins etc.
But these were the memorable finds:
The tiny half centavo was found last night in a coinstar with some asst Canadian and some Euro coins. At first I thought it was a one centavo from ca. 1960s Philippines based on the common design of the reverse - then I turned it over and saw the United States of America and the eagle and shield and realised this was special.
The dime, I wouldn't have looked for it but there was a small coin spill under the coin machine at the credit union when I went in to make a withdrawal. I picked up the cent and nickel and decided to take a peak under the machine to see if there was any more under the machine. Sure enough, I thought maybe it was a Canadian 10c coin and I had to use a pen to pull it out from under the machine - imagine my surprise when I saw FDR instead of HRH and just knew it was silver.

A tip for you guys who say you never find silver in the reject slot. This has happened to me around 5 or 6 times already. Approaching the machine I think there's nothing there, but when you get in close and look straight down there is sometimes a lone small coin hiding just behind the raised lip of the return, invisible to passing shoppers. Most times that's happened, it's been a silver dime. Here's today's find:
101 years old and still circulating! Yesterdays (June 23rd) coinstar finds:
Found all 3 in the reject slot together, close to silver with the 1965 (56 years old and not looking bad), the canadian dime (common up here in upstate NY and a decent looking 1920 wheatie! First reportable finds in a long time. Guess the "reported" coin shortage here in upstate NY is bringing out a few coins from the piggy banks! Hopefully some silver soon.
Dropped by Kroger to pick up a few items. This is what I found in the Coinstar:
1962-D dime, 4-1943 steelies and one 1940 cent. And miscellaneous change.

I have not gotten any silver this month, but I did come across a nice 1940 Canadian Copper Cent - I like it!

Have you ever checked the pay phones return or anything vending coins as change.
How did you feel, could be your answer.
What's that!!
WOW, looks like someone on this forum is older than me! I was in 7th grade in 1957.

Nothing much today aside from a solitary Canadian Dime at Publix earlier today.

Those silver dimes do show up fairly often in the coinstar reject slot. Not often enough for me....

Yes, a little smaller than a dime. It's an 1943 Australia 3 pence coin. I've never seen one of those before, nice coin!
Very nice... Some U.S. silver... and lots of other coins. Cheers, RickO
Jackpot - found this in the coinstar at Walmart today 🌞

Very nice @SaorAlba I would’ve been happy to search the coins the Machine did accept.
Fair week.
One 1943 S Mercury dime (worn but date and mint visible) and a 1939 S Lincoln Cent (Fair shape), I'll take it!
Nice finds!

I finally ended my drought. Unfortunately it was two Chuckie Cheese tokens!
Yesterday's finds were a button (4 holes) and a heavily damaged 1952 nickel, US.
