I’ve been glancing into the Coin Star reject tray at the local supermarket on the way out the door for the the past couple of years but never found even a Zincoln. But as my daughter and I cruised past today, I finally spotted a coin - and I was amazed that my 10 year old was just as excited as me to go check it out as I was! I know, I know...just give it about 2 or 3 years, and she’ll be scurrying out of the store, pretending she doesn’t know me
Anyway, nothing super special - an Italian minted 5 euro cent, and a super shiny 5 cent piece from the Bahamas. But I did learn a valuable lesson: that reject tray is pretty deep! I never would have seen the Bahamas coin just walking by if it were by itself - it was the coppery euro cent that caught my eye despite the Bahama having a shine like a mirror. It was sitting in front of the euro cent in the deep tray, out of view. I never knew it was there until I reached my hand in to scoop out the euro, and I felt the second coin.
Makes me wonder how many times I missed interesting stuff because I was just eyeballing the tray...I guess I gotta reach in every time!
