    I was born in 58 and graduated from hs in 76. I am always hunting for those coin years. I went through a fast food drive thru today and as the window person gave my receipt and fourteen cents in change, almost dropped my change. Safely pocketed my change and looked down and there was about a dollar in shiny coins on the ground below the window. My truck was too close to open the door and pick them up. Next time Im going to stop short and check for coins on the ground below the window. Out of the 14c, I ended up with three MS 2020-D MS cents to holder.

    I have seen store employees scoop up the change in the reject bin and put it in their pocket. It belongs to whomever picks it up. I did, however, have a woman come up to me as I was scooping coins out and said "Oh, I did not realize there was a reject slot... I just dumped my coins and got my receipt cashed in." I gave her the coins. Cheers, RickO

    So store employees are incapable of stealing? I'm not saying that you're wrong re ownership, I don't know who owns the coins, or, to put it another way, when the title to the coins passes from the person who abandons them to the person who recovers them and if there is an intermediate party who has title to the coins, but I do know that the fact that some store employees take the abandoned property sometimes does not, by itself, make it either the policy of the landlord (store) or legal, and, if the store gives access to the CoinStar reject slot as a perk to its employees, it doesn't mean that it extends that privilege to anyone who walks in off the street.

    Have you ever checked the pay phones return or anything vending coins as change.
    How did you feel, could be your answer.

    Nope. I was excited when I first saw that dirty dime on the right but it's a '69. Only things of note are a '40 nickel (I know, nothing special but...) and an actual copper cent - that's going to a guy I work with who collects them

    Waiting in line for the cashier today, i noticed a lady using the Coinstar, that I had already checked. As I was leaving, I went back and checked, and there were a few coins in the reject bin. Ended up with some beat up U.S. Coins, a 1964 Nederlanden 25c and a 2002 Euro 5c.

    At one time, for kids, that nine cents was significant.... I recall penny candy and five cent candy bars.... Cheers, RickO

    I remember when candy bars went from 5c to 10c.
    What a kick in the n*ts for a kid!

    I remember Cokes being a quarter and you got 5 cents back on a bottle.

    Made alot of spending money searching for bottles.

    Here is an interesting question:
    to whom does the money in the reject slot legally belong to?

    The person whose collection was stolen and cashed out into the Coinstar machine.

    Great find today at the grocery store! It seems like on weekends I always find something, weekdays are usually not as good. Some interesting ones in here, 3 silver including a Franklin with what looks to be a lamination crack on his head, a Hong Kong coin, and a Zambia coin.

    What is the foreign silver coin. Almost looks smaller than a dime

    Yes, a little smaller than a dime. It's an 1943 Australia 3 pence coin. I've never seen one of those before, nice coin!

    I've actually found some stashes of coins at coin machines the past couple of weeks. Lots of regular change, about $3 in Canadian dosh, a coin from British Honduras, some tokens, some Euro coins etc.

    But these were the memorable finds:

    The tiny half centavo was found last night in a coinstar with some asst Canadian and some Euro coins. At first I thought it was a one centavo from ca. 1960s Philippines based on the common design of the reverse - then I turned it over and saw the United States of America and the eagle and shield and realised this was special.

    The dime, I wouldn't have looked for it but there was a small coin spill under the coin machine at the credit union when I went in to make a withdrawal. I picked up the cent and nickel and decided to take a peak under the machine to see if there was any more under the machine. Sure enough, I thought maybe it was a Canadian 10c coin and I had to use a pen to pull it out from under the machine - imagine my surprise when I saw FDR instead of HRH and just knew it was silver.

    .

    Dang, nice find!

    Yesterday's finds were a button (4 holes) and a heavily damaged 1952 nickel, US.
