An unusual find at the Coinstar machine.

No, I'm not rich and there was no silver but ...

One Canadian dime
Two well worn 1950's Greek coins
One tiny bronze Thai coin
Three average circulated 1940 Wheat cents
Two average circulated 1941 Wheat cents

There was nothing wrong with any of the Wheat cents. I wonder how they came to be rejected.

All glory is fleeting.

    The last thing I found in a coinstar machine was a drill bit.

    Nice haul.... once in a while a coinstar pays off for me... seems the check out clerks keep a sharp eye on it... on busy days is when I am most likely to find stuff... once in a while a silver dime... more often a wheatie....very often clad and zincolns and foreign coins. Cheers, RickO

    Cool. My total CoinStar finds for all time consist of exactly one no-date Zincoln, with giant green corrosion craters in it.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
