I don't understand Coinstar users...

They don't seem to understand that rejected coins, unless foreign or mangled, are still spendable. This was in the machine when I made a lunchtime grocery run. Almost four bucks (Oops, my math is way off, less than three bucks), nothing old except the '46 wheatie, but I'll take it!

there's your battery money. Good haul.

Lazy and dumb

Princess · Nov 9, 2017

Sweet! I think sometimes people are in too big of a hurry to notice/care about the money they leave behind.

It's nice for the rest of us, though! Congrats on the clad and the wheat penny!

I'm pretty sure, they dump and run. They just "forget." or they're not familiar with the equipment.

it's weird, for sure!

I've only ever found a couple of pieces of coins. Like $0.50 worth, maybe. Finding $4 is quite a haul!

Yeah, in a hurry or dumb.
But also, people do not approach this as a vending machine - they are not expecting to get something out of the machine, and then also checking for change. They get their receipt and walk away. The mechanical noise probably drowns out the sound of falling rejects, too.

I have found a lot of clad in these machines, some pretty neat foreign coins and these three silver dimes so far.

I go to Wal-Mart on lunch most days, check Coin-star first and what ever I find( non Silver ) goes towards my usual Subway lunch.

Wolf-Dog · Nov 11, 2017

Congrats on the Coinstar finds! The most I've found is about $0.75, but at different times I've found 2 Canadian Pennies, 1 Canadian Quarter, a 10 Yen, and crusty Zincolns.

That's a decent haul! Some of those pennies look like they've been sitting in the ground!

Beyonder123 · Nov 12, 2017

A few months ago I found a WHOLE BUNCH of quarters, dimes, and nickels in the reject tray. I actually had to skip it and come back to it later because a lady was trying to show me where something was and I didn't want her to have to wait for me. Luckily it was pretty late and no one else grabbed them.

StevenB · Nov 12, 2017

I've found a 1943 steel penny, a few clad coins, and a guitar pick in my local Coinstar!

Foragist · Nov 12, 2017

I've only looked a few times, and never a thing in the reject tray. I did find a memorial penny next to the input! Woohoo.

I would say forgetful before dumb. Easy to forget they are down there, Especially if you are a new user

GroundSweeper · Nov 12, 2017

Nice score!

I’ve found a couple jackpots like that with $6 or $7 in change, scoop them up and put them in a cargo pocket and laugh as you jingle on it if the store.

Lately been slim pickings in the reject bin, got a British coin the other day.

Well ya know ,......they put directions on a shampoo bottle for a reason :laughing:

Iggyks · Nov 13, 2017

Previously I haven't found more than 40-50 cents at once... got a Mexico dollar coin last week, and some dimes stuck together :roll:

Coinstar rejects fake nickel

This "nickel" is posted on Ebay for $250. It clings to a magnet, as shown in other photos too. Then, in the description, he says it was rejected by a COINSTAR. He said it likely came from his son's Grandmother, who likes to travel to the Carribean. He also says it is a counterfeit, and is not for sale...just wanted to show it off I guess.
