Today 63-D at Nob Hill, was on the floor under a shopping card, I assume the cart used to hold the coin jar/bag... The Canadian quarter was in the loading arm, the return was empty...
I am on a bit of a roll. On the drive back from dropping my son at school, I stopped in a Kroger in northern Georgia and found a 1916 Canadian large cent.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

$0.83 cents clad and an Aruba .50 cent coin. That little reject bin has been dry for a while so was glad to finally see it yield something. RGDS!

One of my local coinstars is an absolute joy to visit because it almost always yields at least something. I think I’ve pulled out about six face value in dollars in silver so far over the past two years since I started visiting. Lots of euros.

Oh I thought the people grab the coins that didn't go through. I use coin star and I grab the coins that are left. I was asking because when I use coin star I always add collectable coins mixed in. I have already added 2 1964 Kennedy proofs, 3 1958 cents, and 1 1943 steel penny. I like to add them and let people find them to help kind of promote the hobby a bit. Thanks for answering.
The return/reject slot is where the rejected coins are found.
I've never really focused on the dump tray where the coins are poured in to be counted. Maybe there are finds there, as well.
Are you sure that your silver Kennedys and steel cents aren't getting rejected either in the counting tray or the reject slot? 🤔
I haven't dumped them yet. I just add coins every now and then so they are mixed up with the coins I dump when my bowls are full, about 300 dollars worth. But I check before I leave because sometimes putting coins through a second or third time they go through. I haven't done any steel cents yet. I opened an original bank wrapped half roll so I will add a couple of those.

JBK, You have to look everywhere, I have found on the floor in front of the machine, on the side of it, and in the load-tray. Even if you don't see any coins, you should run your hand through the return because in the front of the return there's a lip/edge and a coin can rest against it and not be seen... One time there was an Tide bottle next to the machine, I kicked it and you hear all the coins that were left in it - I post on that one way back when because there were a lot of coins left and one sliver dime among them....
Look at my pictures, coin are often stuck in the load slot - with a business card, folded in half (like tweezers), you can pinch them and pull them out... (keep a business card in your wallet...)

And don't forget to check the small trash can that many places leave next to the machines, especially at banks. Some people toss their rejects.
I found $10 in oily change once in the trash. It may be a bit embarrassing to rummage through the trash, but it's worth it

I'm an obsessive aluminum can recycler and enjoy dumpster diving for cans or riding my 'bent and grabbing cans along the highway shoulder. I turn them in for cash and then head to the LCS to purchase junk silver dollars, SAEs, and other silver coins.
Last week, along with about 2000 cans, I found 85 cents in a dumpster. Occasionally, a dollar or $5 bill will turn up. I also have grabbed well over 100 sealed alcoholic beverages such as beer and vodka-and-seltzer drinks from dumpsters this past year. I have several cases worth of Michelob Ultra alone in the garage. Sometimes I find 11 sealed Michelob Ultras in a 12-pack and laugh because I don't like Michelob Ultra and assume the purchaser didn't care for them either. Unfortunately, I don't drink beer much anymore.
No gutter but got a Canadian Quarter, crusty old 1943 Steel Wheatie and $0.37 cents clad. RGDS!

The Coinstar is next to a lottery vending machine. I stopped to check and looked up and the lottery machine had a $1 credit and the Coinatar had a dime in the basket. Not a bad morning…
No Coinstar but the other day I was at Home Depot buying a new showerhead damn thing was $124. As soon as I turned away from the counter to walk out saw this dandy on the ground, it made a quick clean sweep to my pocket.
$1.01 clad, all in the top tray, nothing in the return. The blue vests were definitely watching me. RGDS!

Didn’t find anything but last time I checked the machine (yesterday), some woman was staring at me suspiciously. She was still staring at me while I left the customer service room where the Coinstar resides. Nothing too interesting, I just thought it was a little weird. Just like the time a bluevest threatened to kick me out of the store when I checked the Coinstar. (not at my local Walmart, this was when I was out of state)

Here in Germany the chances of finding silver coins in the return tray of a coinstar (or similar) machine are pretty slim. But I still like to check for spare coins from time to time.
In january the pickings were pretty slim, just a few (Euro-)Cents and a Swedish Krona.
But December yielded a lot of finds, including 19.50€ ($23.10) in change and a few foreign coins.

Today I found 4,82€ on my way into the shop. On the way out, there was another spendable Cent in the return tray, and a Thai 25 Satang aswell.
It's been a fantasy ever since the first time I put my grubby little paws into that reject slot that someday I would pull gold. Momma stopped by Wally-world today on the way home from work and made sure to hit the coinstar on the way out. $.45 cents clad and a 2018 1/10 Gold Maple. Unbelievable the luck this woman has. She is as obsessed with the coinstar as I am. I have trained her well. RGDS!

I save up my common circulated IHC and early Lincolns and give them to my 92 year old mother, she gives them to the children at her church and then she tells them about the 1930s and 1940s as a child. Many express interest in the coins and hopefully will grow up into little collectors.

Holy crap!

61 cents in ordinary pocket change. The first find of any kind in a couple months.
I am in the middle of a humongous dry spell.

Two clad quarters at Kroger yesterday. First find in a long time.

After a few dry months today produced a British 2001 20 pence coin and three really corroded zinc pennies.

Took my mom to the store yesterday, found this in the coinstar. A reward for a good deed.

$.038 nickel and the rare Ginger 61-d dime today!
No Coinstar but the other day I was at Home Depot buying a new showerhead damn thing was $124. As soon as I turned away from the counter to walk out saw this dandy on the ground, it made a quick clean sweep to my pocket.
@coinstratch: Last time I found something similar to that it opened up into a sales pitch
When I son found it he got really excited, then really sad.
At Walmart today I watched a few bluevests check the Coinstar while an optician fitted my glasses.
I couldn’t see if they found anything.
