Minor score at bank change counting machine

Hello Everyone,
I have an account at a nearby bank and weekly use their coin counter to take in all the change I look through.
Before I started I checked to see if there was anything in the reject bin and there was.
About 17 cents worth, included was a 1963 Canadian cent, a 1937 U.S. cent and a 1942 U.S. cent. The 1937 cent might actually be very fine. The other coins were a dime and a few other U.S. cents.
Not much, but it made the trip more fun than usual.

I still call my accumulation my collection!

Myself, the best I've done so far is a 1908 Newfoundland 5c piece in XF.
<< <i>The last time I used the coinstar machine at the grocery store I heard several coins hit the reject. I checked it when I was done and found nothing. I reached as far up in the reject slot as I could and someone had stuffed something into it to block coins coming all the way back down in to the slot. I couldn't pull it out and didn't want to make an issue of it but I found it interesting that someone would mine the machine like that. >>
hmm maybe thats why I havent foudn anything lately

I have read another story similiar to that here on the forum. I guess someone had stuffed something in the upper slot to prevent the coins from coming down and then later checking the slot for himself and taking said coins.

On Monday I took in a bunch of change my mom let me look through.
Sure enough there were several coins in the reject slot...
...including silver! a worn 1951-D dime
I'm up to three silver coins in my life and I check each time I enter a store with one of the machines.
The rest included a Canadian quarter and a clad dime with ?tar? on one side.
I will likely try to check this bank's coin counting machine more often.
