The OFFICIAL COINSTAR FINDS THREAD

"free money-giving" machines"....
Well, sort of.... occasionally... in my case, not often. Once in a while, someone gets a real treasure.... but not often. Still, fun to check 'found' money.... Cheers, RickO0 -
This morning, early no less at 630am, I found a mini-hoard in the Coinstar:
Nearly $2 in Canadian change
11 regular cent coins
and a nice corrosion free 1943 steel cent.3 -
Wow...maybe that is my mistake.... I go by the machine later in the day.... Maybe the midnight people leave more change...
Cheers, RickO0 -
Another decent haul today. The five-year-old Coinstar-checking assistant actually made a mistake, too, opting to just take the shiny 1979-S SBA $1 instead of the dirty Euro (= ~$1.17) + the 13 extra cents when we split it up. Live and learn, kid.

Nice haul... and I think your assistant was looking at potential liquidity

I finally saw a penny in the reject slot at the end of the checkout line at our local grocery store. Couldn't make myself grab it!I have a solution.............carry a few 'reject' coins in your pocket. When you pass a machine, confidently walk up to it and deposit your reject coins. When they fall into the bin....grab whatever is in there. No one will ever know

a Mexican 5 centavos dated 1976
a Wheatie dated 19411 -
Saw two men, one dressed in a suit, the other guy in bib overalls fighting over the change in the coinstar machine today. That wouldn't have been any of you guys, would it ?

Yesterday afternoon... the local supermarket Coinstar was in a giving mood... One quarter, four dimes, two nickels, six zincolns.... and a 2013 Singapore 10 cent piece. One zincoln was damaged...Not much, but more than I expected. Cheers, RickO

Check the Canadian 1964 Nickel to see if it is 3 or 4 waterlines on the left.

1963 Roosevelt found yesterday with some clad change.
Ah, the joy in free silver! Decided to give it to my nephew tonight with a little discussion about coins. Glad I did. He seemed to enjoy this little "treasure"

@YQQ.... I am not sure what you mean regarding the '3 or 4' waterlines at the left. I do see water lines to the left as I look at the reverse.... not sure how you are counting. Could you be more specific? Not being familiar with Canadian coins, I could use some help. Cheers, RickO

Good morning RickO
Have attached an image with notes for the extra WL on the 1964 Canadian Nickel.
Hope that helps.

I checked the local Smiths store coinstar yesterday and came up with a 1936 Washington quarter. First time I got anything other than a few pennies.

now, Santa must have lost that one.
worth around US 18-20.Today is the first day of the rest of my life0 -
That is super.... What a great find.... That would be my 'find of the year'....Cheers, RickO
1 -
It's silver. It's over 100 years old. It's in decent circulated condition with no damage.
Yes, that qualifies as a very nice find.
Zero for me today and just a lonely cruddy cent last week. However, two silver dimes during 2017 which is the most silver that I "found" since the mid 1970s.

Stopped at the local grocery store today and took a quick look at the Coinstar on the way to the beverage aisle and saw a small pile of coins. Mined a little silver for my troubles!

I saw something dark and round in the machine at the grocery today. I reached in to pull out a tiddly wink!

Checked the local supermarket and hit quite the payload this weekend. Seemed like I was at the machine for about a minute cleaning out the return slot into my pockets. 146 coins in all, unfortunately, no silver. 23 Quarters, 29 Nickels (4 Canadian), 27 Dimes, 66 cents (2 Canadian, 1 crusty Steel wheatie) and 1 Marines Toys for Tots token. $10.56 Face value.

Almost nothing worth giving a second look at, these from my credit union's coin machine yesterday:
