    74 cents in super sticky American change and a Barbados mini cent - in a coin machine I usually never find anything in because it is parked right in front of the store in a well lit area.

    I kind of got 62 cents. A nickel, a Canadian dime worth 8 ¢ usd and the winner 1/2 Swiss franc worth 50¢ in exchange to usd.

    Silver is good... silver dimes are the only silver (other than a couple of old Canadian coins) I have found in the coinstar...no quarters....Nice haul. Cheers, RickO

    At the home grocery store this morning, I found this in the parking lot about 50 feet from the Coinstar Machine (which is inside the store, of course):

    I'm guessing this was discarded by someone after a trip to the Coinstar... Coinstar has been very dry for finds lately!

    Coinstar has definitely been dry lately.... been a month or more since I have found anything at all.... Well, holidays are coming, and people will be emptying their jars and sock drawers of change... ;) Cheers, RickO

    Doing some cleaning recently - found a pile of change from about ten years ago & knew it was at least 50 dollars face. I took that to the bank on 11/08/2018 - didn't care to give Coinstar five or six or seven dollars in fees. I believe that group included two rolls of unc. 1961-D Lincoln cents and four dollars in unc. 2004-D Jefferson "Peace Medal" Nickels. The rest was well-circulated modern (included pre-1982 copper cents). However, the home grocery store still got some business from these proceeds!

    I seem to remember you could get 100% if you took it in Amazon gift cards. Was that true and is it still?

    If I don't want to give Coinstar 11%, why would I care to give Mr. Bezos his 50%?

    Oh many many thank youse to the Coinstar deities...12/4 @ the home grocery store!

    3 silver Roosies, one Canadian nickel, a Scheels token, and the highly-coveted Chuck E Cheese token! Roosies dated 1950, 1961 and 1964, all Philadelphia; Canada five cent dated 1964, and Chuck E Cheese dated 2009. Scheels token is undated, although it does have an HM Mint mark (Hoffman Mint, I think).

    This is the first time that I ever got more than one silver coin in a single haul!
