A Coinstar Christmas Present....#17

diggin4clad · Dec 11, 2018

A trip to the local supermarket today allowed me to check the Coinstar machine and in the tray was a single coin.....a 1958 Roosevelt Dime, the 17th silver coin this year from Coinstar. :excited:

17 CS silvers for the year?

OK, now this Coinstar silver Hunting is starting to get out of hand! :laughing:

Your having a great CS year!

I wonder if the machines are now "tuned" to reject the old coins?

I don't think they're "tuned" in any way.

I’m no expert, but from what I understand the machine is calibrated to count by weight. A US silver dime (no longer considered standard currency) is heavier than a clad US dime, so it gets rejected. Same with all “foreign” coin. :cool:

According to the "Redbook", a silver dime weighs 2.5 grams and a clad dime weighs 2.27 grams. That's a very small difference but apparently enough for the machine to detect the difference and reject the silver coin.

Congrats on the grab-n-go silver!

ROBOTCOP13 · Dec 12, 2018

Yup, that's what I meant by "tuned". Good info.

Congrats !!!! …..seems like much more silver might now possibly be found "digging" in the Coinstar reject trays than from digging in the dirt :lol:

That's definitely true in my case because I dug only 4 silver coins this year. :dash2:
