Coinstar Score!

$30+ face value, consisting of $22 in quarters, $6 modern dollars, and a few bucks in dimes/nickels/cents (didn’t count those). No silver coins, unfortunately. This is my second big score at the grocery store near my work, the first being last year when I found $40+ face in 90% silver (unbelievable, I know). I’m not sure why the CoinStar machine rejected all the clad coins this time. Perhaps the machine malfunctioned, since all of these coins appear to be undamaged and aren’t silver. However it may have happened, it led to an overfilled reject bin that I gladly emptied!

Kennedys are my quest...
zoinks!
Nice score. Never found a dime or a cent.
I usually find nothing! And I look practically every day. I happen to work right next to a store with a CoinStar machine, so I am in a unique position that allows me to check on a daily basis.
Nice score.
Well, I guess I won't bother to run next door to check the Coinstar next time I'm over at your shop.
I usually find something, but $30 fv,
What the heck would make someone leave that behind?
Wow. Some people just are oblivious to their surroundings.
I thought that I found a lot last time, dang, wild!
Wow. Some people just are oblivious to their surroundings.
A very aware, very kind person stuffed that reject bin full with coins for a stranger to find. Paying it forward is what the practice is called.

Great find. I typically only find one coin. Finding that much is unique
I think someone was high and couldn't figure out how the machine worked. Oops.

@BustHalfBrian Don't get too excited when you lose it at the poker table next week
That's a hefty score, even for it being regular change, congrats!!

who do you think was watching?? waiting for someone to make a haul like that.
To be fair, it was Irvine. $30 is chump change for the average Irvine resident.
$0.77 US
have to see if the 1950 is silver... Nope Copper nickel.
$0.50 Canadian
2-1 francs
Found in a coinstar tray wedged on the right side...had to use a car key to retrieve.
Mexican money was found on the floor, coinstar at Walmart.
That's a nice score. My area Coinstars have been dry as a bone for at least the past few years.
Not even a corroded Lincoln for crying out loud. 😢
The parking lots have been better. 😂
Sometimes the machines will malfunction and kick out a couple of handfuls.
It happened to me recently, and I had to Hurry up and pull them before they started spilling on the floor.
I also had a few rolls worth of 1943 steelies that I purposely left behind in the reject bin.
