That's a pretty nice haul

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

@SanctionII ... That is what I call a jackpot find... quantity plus silver. Very nice. Cheers, RickO
Score. Nice find at a great price.
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.
Yesterday I found two quarters, two dimes and one cent in the Coinstar reject slot. No silver, no wheatie.... Cheers, RickO
Today's finds. First coinstar finds in a while. Unfortunately no silver.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron."
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Great! I rarley get anything at the Giant Eagle Coin Star.
