Default First Coinstar Find
Today the wife and I took a Labor Day visit to Wal-Mart. As expected, the store was PACKED. When we were leaving, I walked past the Coinstar and noticed a quarter in the reject tray.

Chances are I probably looked like a crazy person darting up to the Coinstar and reaching into the reject tray, but I found a 1964-D quarter. Not bad for my first Coinstar find.

Thanks and Happy Hunting!

I always have a quick look at the one at our local supermarket,
on our way out.

Well found

Nice find. Coinstars kick out most if not all silver coins for some reason. I have found 3 coins so far, 2 canadian pennies and a 5 pence.

Coinstars reject all silver I'm told. I've got my share of silver roosies from one at the supermarket. Will spit out most foreign coins too. The other day got 4 canadian dimes. All clad though. I think I'm up to 7 countries now from coins in the reject tray. Doesn't hurt to look.

My 8 year old daughter checks every coinstar she sees, just today in Wal-Mart she pulled 2 wheats, not sure why they reject wheats but we have pulled a good number of them as well as silver dimes and quarters. Another good find this weekend for me were 2 silver halves a 62 Kennedy and a 53 Franklin both from a register till at gas station on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, saw them and ask the lady if I could buy them from her and she was glad to.

Great Coinstar find!

I think the silver gets kicked back because the weight is different than clad.

I probably only find something in a Coinstar 1 in 20 tries, but my last look got me two Canadian "tunies"!
