I work within a 2 minute walk of 2 Coinstar machines, and the most common type of coins I find other than pennies are foreign coins. They may not be worth much (although the Euros I find are) it is still neat to see the designs and compositions from countries around the world. I have found coins from Singapore, Mexico, the Phillipines, China, Costa Rico, and Panama to name a few.

Why are there a high number of foreign coins in and around coin star machines you ask? Simply put, they are worthless in the US, so they are worthless to the general public. :) But I will take them. I already have a few pages of them in my folder. HH
 
People that don't use Coinstar regularly have to be thinking it also redeems their country's coins too! When they find out it won't they just leave em there cause they realize no business here takes em as payment. IMO.
