Congrats on 10 coins !!!!!
I might have competition in my area, been a while since I spotted any coins in our local coinstar.

I'm sorry to say I never thought of this before. But thanks to the bad example you guys are setting for me 
I gave it a try.
After checking out at my local Krogers I glanced at the return tray of the Coinstar machine and HOLY COW!! That thing was full!! I mean I don't know why coins weren't just sliding out onto the floor!
Of course I didn't want to look like some sort of sleazeball just scooping out the coin return as I passed by (which I actually was, but I still didn't want to look like it
), so I stopped, placed the shopping cart behind me for some cover, and started tapping through the menus on the screen like I was a legitimate user. Then I reached into my pocket for coins to get things started and came up with a quarter. That's right - I only had one single coin to put into the machine before I reached for the return slot. It would have to do.
So I tossed the quarter in top tray, rubbed it around to make some noise, and tipped it up to send it into the machine. And now for my big move. I nonchalantly reached down and scooped up a handful of coins out of the return slot, waiting for that tell tale "Excuse me SIR!!" but it never came. Whew! I tossed them into the top tray and sent them down the slot.
Some counted, and a bunch fell through, but it was too late now!! Besides, how are you going to stop me now that I was on a roll! Some were stuck together like someone spilled their Pepsi on them, so I pried those apart and sent them in for round 3.
When the smoke cleared I had a receipt for $6.73, plus around $4 of gummed up coins in the return slot. And one Chuck E. Cheese token. So I made over $10 for 5 minutes of work and didn't have to lug any gear out to the beach. Not a bad day.

Coinstar Machines
Someone mentioned years ago 'never pass a Coinstar machine without checking the return shut'.
Coinstar machines are great for rejecting silver and wheaties. The youngin's never saw a silver coin and just leave them, thinking they are foreign.
Never be embarrassed... Ive seen old and young checking out the machines. One time I think someone stole a bunch from a fountain.
There were wet coins everywhere. They jammed the machine and left. I think it was my biggest haul of over $10 !!!
Sometimes I do better at the Coinstar machines than on the beach
