The OFFICIAL COINSTAR FINDS THREAD

Mine is still 'out of order'.... I am about to lodge a formal complaint with management.....Of course, since the day I saw the manager scoop out a handful of coins, I am sure he is just as bothered as I am....Cheers, RickO

Just a Canadian 25c coin from 2007 with the 2010 Olympics curling on it.

Still in drought mode..... Hope the machine is fixed soon... probably jammed with some great finds...that the repair person will get. Wow... there's a thought... I should get a job servicing these machines... Wouldn't that be fantastic...imagine what these guys find....Cheers, RickO

2cents today!

Just one cent today at my local supermarket....but it was a 1907 in XF. I will add a photo when I can.

An Indian Cent?

Well, I really did not create a disturbance.... the counter manager did look at me with that 'deer in the headlights' look when I said that... Cheers, RickO

Still a dead coinstar in the market.... I lodged a complaint with the service desk..... they assured me it would be repaired this week. I asked if they would give me a handful of change to make up for my losses... .. they were not amused. Cheers, RickO

Reminds me of a few years ago, I always look under the machine and I had a store manager specifically ask me NOT to look under the machine. Uh, I have found silver dimes that way more than once.

Todays finds were a Canadian cent and a Canadian quarter.

So you’re saying there’s a chance!!!

.36c Canadian and one of those souvenir pennies. Left the wooden golf tee. Not much but breaks a 2 week dry spell.

Five days since the machine was fixed and not a single coin.... :'( Cheers, RickO

Well, at least you are finding things... I am beginning to think you sleep by that coinstar machine.... Cheers, RickO

I did not really think you did sleep by the machine However, you find coins far more often than I do... I think the store clerks keep a sharp eye on the machine at my market...I mentioned once already that I saw a store manager scoop some coins out while I was in the check out line...Cheers, RickO

And now since it is raining and I cannot mow the lawns:

Went to one of my credit unions to cash out half dollars that I had searched for silver. The coin machine went out of order and I had to asked if the teller could service it. When they opened it I peeked into the white internal reject bin and all of these were all of the non-bent quarters. I was pleased as punch that the teller let me buy them!

Silver eagles for face!? Score!

As I was passing by the Coinstar in Walmart I saw a pile in the reject slot. I got 65 Lincolns.

While not a Coin Star, breaking down a Bucket Seat off a 1966 Mustang, and between the upholstery and the foam was a 1963 dime. Guess someone lost their coffee money 52 years ago.

My brother and I used to look through old car salvage yards to look at cars - never thought of checking the seats for change.

One coin at my local Wegmans coinstar reject bin. It is a 1951 dime. A similar machine at a K-Mart had 45 cents in assorted coins in a bag on the shelf next to the insert bin.

Nothin, nada, zilch, zero - skunked. :'( Cheers, RickO

@SaorAlba .... I do believe you find more coins in the machines than anyone else....Two silvers as well.. Cheers, RickO

@ricko My job takes me into a lot of stores, my hobby takes me to a lot of banks.

I want that same job.

I've already got the hobby.

Nice haul... two silvers.... and those dimes can hide in the corner of the reject bin...especially if the paint is a tad worn... I found one that way also, and it was silver. Lately though... nothing.. for about two weeks or more... Cheers, RickO

I missed the silver dime at first! It was in the corner!

Often it takes many years to refine our Coinstar searching skills.

With perseverance and fortitude, some of us can improve on this most elaborate and complex endeavor.

However, it is never possible to master it.
