We checked one of our coinstars today. Nothing, but my wife found 5 Lincoln’s throughout the checkout lane and walking out of the store. She’s an eagle eye for coins on the ground that’s for sure. And she isn’t afraid to pick them up either. She sure is a keeper!
I don't know what's going on, but in the last week, I found $2.50 in modern U.S coinage, three Canadian quarters and a Canadian dime. I live near a large international airport, so I can understand the foreign coins. And maybe I could understand someone leaving something like a Mercury dime in the till, because he / she might not know what it is.
And maybe there's one odd coin that someone forgot to pick up or didn't see.
But I don't get the people who don't bother even to look to see what's there.

A good day at the local Coinstar machine, 14 modern US dimes, two US nickels, a US quarter, three small modern foreign coins, Australia 5 cents 1977, Barbados 10 cents 1995, Britain 5 pence 2004, and the most unusual which looked like a dirty US dime but was a 1943-D US steel cent.
Went to the grocery store today. Had the largest find yet out of our coinstar machine. Well, I should confess about how this played out to be honest. I went to cash in 2 lottery scratch offs and my wife went across to peek in the reject try of the coinstar. She hit the jackpot with a 64 silver dime, a Mexican 50 peso coin and misc clads and a couple of copper cents. But the kicker was that in the 6 dollar payout for the scratch offs they clerk gave me a star note ))). What a day I say!!!!

Over about a year of searching, I have found three silver dimes: 1919, 1942-S, and 1964-D, as well as several foreign coins and a few dollars worth of random change.

Also, does anyone have an opinion on asking the desk clerk to check the internal reject bin?

This is an accumulation of finds over the last week:
$2.49 in US, 51c in Canadian, a carwash token - a 1946 Dime and a 1963 quarter.
Great job!

Also, to CRHer, I dumped some metal detecting pennies in a coinstar one time, and it locked up the machine.
The clerk opened the machine, and started dumping the rejects in the trash!!!
I stopped him, and collected what was left.
I ended up with a couple Ike dollars, and some other random coins.
You might bring in some bent coins and dump them in, and hope it locks it up?!?!
Worth a try.

That might work, I have some metal detecting coins, but if it doesn't jam, then I have to pay the fees.

Yesterday: a single zincoln on the ground, but as I walked by, I glanced in a small, nearby trash can, and lo and behold, 8 more stuck together cents! I quickly grabbed them and took off. The nearby cashier probably thought that I was crazy, but I was very pleased.

The 5 Kennedy's were not found in the return slot, this guy with some bags arrived at the coin star while my wife was shopping. I asked what he had, and what caught my interest was some rolls of half dollars. I paid him $2.50 for these 5 NIC Kennedy's just cause.
Later, my wife asked me to pick up her prescription at CVS, so I hit the coins stars across the street first, along with 3 modern quarters was this highly wore Mercury dime! The date is not complete, but it looks like 1918/19,,, It was a good day!
Got this fine specimen in change this morning shopping
for bagels and cheese in the local grocery store.
Looks like it was partially processed by a roller, and
wonder when this happened.

Well, you might say that I wasn’t up to date, and might have posted referencing your post of the merc of the 17th. The truth is that I hadn’t logged on in a few days and thought that it was the most recent post.

Here's a postscript to the rolled cent I posted earlier -
the date / mintmark appears to be a 1968 D as far as
I can tell under high magnification. Perhaps, the
"engineer" who created this cent may find this, and tell.
I grow heirloom tomatoes and also posted an
"error tomato" for your enjoyment.
Recent: 8 zincolns in one slot, one in another with a nickel underneath. All corroded or scraped except one cent and the nickel.

Out with the wife, Farmers Market, T-Joe's and she wanted to stop at Joanne's fabric so I went to the Safeway next store just for the Coin Star. A lone silver dime sitting twilling in the center of the return like the North Star! 63D

The one at my local Walmart is out of order I believe, because of a wing nut that someone jammed in the slot. It was stuck there one week, and the machine was out of order the next.

Just so you know, the chewed up Canadian dime is .800 fine silver.

All from the 1930's, and one Canadian 1982 dime.

Went to our local Walmart tonight and checked ours. Retrieved a 2008 Dime and a 2017 nickel.
Per the right side. How did that guitar pick get in the coin star?
I've found guitar picks in machine wrapped rolls of half dollars.
I was not there to watch, so your guess is as good as mine....
I've found those plastic spacer/counter things that tellers use in BWR. But the strangest are the play money plastic cents.
