I Throw Wheat Cents Back Into Circulation Today And They All Literally Came Back!!

I dumped these nine wheat cents with $45 of random change into my credit union coin machine today. I was hoping some kid would eventually find them. The machine spit all nine back out into the coin reject/return slot! I even dumped them back in a second time and still the machine spit them out!
Really odd!! Maybe these machines detect and reject real copper?!?!? I have no idea!

not copper as really bronze, but should have the same signature as others or machines all over would reject all early wheats
Are you saying these machines reject these wheats?

i'm saying machines all over would reject similar cents. we'd know about it.
there's just something about those cents that machine doesn't like
Maybe someone here has the answer to that.

Throw them out in the parking lot. Good chance a new member will post one here as a rare error.
? New machine has some kind of scanner? Where their other wheats in the bunch?
The credit union coin machine is not impressed. You need to feed it nicer coins for the kiddos.

The sidewalk would better. A kid might find it, and there is less chance they will be run over.
Nope, only these nine wheats went in and these nine wheats came out. They were mixed in with about $5 of memorial and shield cents.

Any pre-1982 Memorials in that batch?
If no, maybe it's rejecting any high copper content. Perhaps that is adjustable and set wrong.
If yes and they didn't get rejected, it would seem to be either wear or it detects the tin found in pre-1962 cents for some reason. If not those reasons then I don't know what it could be picking up on. Maybe AI set for wheat cent images to give people a chance to get collections back after being dumped in (least likely cause I would think).

I've never had that problem at my CU's machine, probably a machine setting inside is not right?

Wait until you get more change and take them to a teller window and try to deposit them that way. Chances are they have a different counter in the back. Either way they will end up in a bank bag and re-rolled somewhere.
Pre-82? Yes.

No, I don't want the tellers to take them.

I throw my wheaties and buffaloes into wishing fountains, drive thrus and self checkouts. Pass them out at Halloween.

I just thought the best place to dump them back into circulation, without physically handing them to someone was one of these coin machines. Their getting mixed in with thousands of other cents. Probably then taken to the coin roll companies and redistribute back to banks or businesses, where someone can search them again.

It may very well have been. They were all 2.9 or 3.0

you could take a hit for the team and try a coinstar. just throw the wheats in first
I like that @MsMorrisine thanks! I think I will.

@OAKSTAR I know what the problem is. The coin machine is a glutton free device. It is allergic to wheat germ. Your welcome Tom.
