I haven't posted much lately, but I still read many of the posts. I saw someone busily dumping coins into the coinstar as I entered the store, so I made way by the machine after I checked out. I didn't look through the coins, I just slipped them into my pocket and strolled out.
I stopped by a second store and picked up a few more coins from the coinstar tray. When I got home, I examined my haul and found I had :
2 - 2 euro cent from Italy
1 - 2 euro cent from Austria
1 - 1 euro cent from Austria
1 - British one penny
1 - 1 cent from Canada
1 - 10 won from South Korea
1 - 1964 US nickle
1 - 1961 US dime
1 - US Bicentennial Half Dollar
1 - 2009 US penny ( the back has Lincoln sitting on a log. 1 of 4 different )
1 - Marta Token ( light rail transit in Atlanta )
1 - funky coin I can't identify, but looks real old.
I don't know where these folks got these coins or why they tossed them into the coinstar, but they are in my collection now.
