    Nothing here except the sounds of crickets, and the occasional button or bent paper clip.

    Yep.... Reject slot been empty for a few weeks now.... I believe the attendant for the self checkout stands (right behind that station) has been clearing it out. Cheers, RickO

    Thought I had a shot today when I pulled out a 1968 Canadian dime... featherweight under 2.1g and stuck to a magnet like Sharon Stone stuck to Michael Douglas in Basic Instinct.

    2 Canadian nickels, 1968 dime, one Canadian cent and a non-copper Lincoln... better than a sharp stick in the eye but still in a silver drought!

    How are you guys finding these coins? I thought you had to put change in these CoinStar machines to get paper money back?

    We are checking the coin return on coin stars. Found a half inch washer 😊the machine tends to kick out anything it doesn’t recognize as us coinage. Sometimes it kicks silver coins gold coins non-us and washers and buttons

    Yep, that's direct competition I have the same thing going on at my Kroger. Recently though they moved the machine to the service desk area >:)

    Sounds like stealth mode now or perhaps a buyers club group who can organize the runs😊😂😁

    @Joe_360.... WOW!! You got a W quarter in the Coinstar reject bin?? Amazing.... Outstanding haul overall... that is a real pile of change. But a W quarter... first one I have heard of from the Coinstar. Cheers, RickO

    Found a Japanese 50 Yen coin from 1981 a few days ago beneath the coin counting machine at Publix.

    Those are both nice groups of coins. I am entering another drought period. I gladly scoop up the coins from the reject bin - if I can get there before the store manager (who pockets them) or the check out clerks (who also pockets them). The store manager told me that.... Cheers, RickO

    Silver dimes are found quite often in the coinstar reject bin.... seems they are easily overlooked. Cheers, RickO

    Another silver surprise today... and maybe a dime error coin?? Looks to me to be too clean to have been done post mint. If I can't get a definitive explanation of the dime, may start a quick thread for error experts to chime in. I don't follow errors at all.

    It might be a dryer coin? 🤓🙀

    It appears to have been spooned.....Edge is repeatedly tapped (some do it with a spoon, can be done with other tools). Was often done to make a ring. Cheers, RickO

    Has to be machine done, smooth all the way around. I guess post mint damage of some type because I can't come up with a reasonable way a dime can end up with a smaller diameter at the mint.

    A solitary dime, and a dirty look from a lady walking into the store.

    I have found nothing, cashiers/managers clean it out or check every day. However I did find one penny sitting on top where you dump the coins. It was a 2009 log cabin bright and shinny found earlier this week. Why no one else picked it up is beyond me.

    Silver dimes (usually Rosevelts) are the most common silver finds in Coinstar reject bins... Always welcome though. Cheers, RickO
