    I think you meant .34 euros, 34 euros would have been great!

    I collect world proof sets, coins featuring composers, mid-20th century U.S. proof coins, U.S. type coins, and whatever else I want.

    This thread reminded me to visit my local Coinstar with a jar of change. I go about 3 times a year.

    First of all, the three coins on the right are my "test coins". Two Canadian dimes and a corroded US cent. They always get rejected so I just keep them as a test.

    Today, when I walked up there was some change jammed in the input slot and nothing in the reject bin. I started the machine, unjammed it, and then let it count what someone left behind. It counted and counted but only registered one cent. What I got was more interesting. The coins on the left are the ones worth noting. Two silver dimes, 1927 and 1963d, plus another Canadian dime, and then a 1 Kuna Croatian piece. In addition there were 5 cents, 4 dimes , and 2 quarters - all should have been counted but were part of the jamup. Why they didn't get counted is a bit mysterious. I then dumped my jar in and let it go - it did reject my test coins as expected.

    So, I got 95 cents in US coinage plus two silver dimes plus the two non-US pieces. My change totaled $55.75 and I always opt for an Amazon gift card at 100% of coin value.

    I did post a photo of the coins. :)

    Just look at the bottom of my OP and click the attached photo. The silver dime has its own row below the row of the other dimes.

    .

    "Two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe; and I'm not sure about the universe."
    -Albert Einstein-

    Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.
