At the STAR Market today, I noticed an older guy (older than me, and I'm 71) dumping his coins in the Coinstar. I then saw him bending down to check the reject tray and thought "shoot, he's not leaving anything behind for this pirate".
After checking out, I walked past the Coinstar and eyeballed the reject tray, just in case. Well, he DID leave me something, after all. A quick scoop and I had all the rejects and, wow is that silver? Wait, is that TWO silvers? I'll know when I get home, so in my right pocket they dropped (don't want to co-mingle with change already in my left pocket)
So, here's the tally. My last Coinstar harvest was on Feb 1st, so it's been exactly five months. Even with this 5 month drought, my YTD Coinstar total stands at 173 coins in four harvests (that's an average of 43.5 coins per harvest). Pics below.
- Silvers: 1951 and 1952-D Rosie dimes
- Two 1943 Steel Wheat cents
- Clad: 1 dime and i quarter
- 2 Lincoln Zincolns
- Canadian: 2 dimes and 1 nickel
- 1 token: Brass colored "Guardian Angel Protect Us"
