I was unaware my local bank branch had two Coinstar machines. They are located in a lobby that I rarely use to enter the bank.
I went today to make a deposit and afterwards I went over to the machines to look around in the trays on top. There was just some trash down in there. Checked the slots on the bottom but they were all empty.
Anyway, I was about to head out when I noticed that everyone had been tossing their rejected coins into a potted plant next to the machines. I rooted through there for about a minute or two and found a bunch of coins. Most were crusted-up Lincoln cents that look like they had been in a car floorboard or puddle of cola for years, but I did manage to find one 1964 Roosevelt Dime in pretty good condition. A very detailed AU coin if not for a very slight amount of white film-looking stuff on it.
Also found a couple of foreign coins and a Namco gaming token with what appears to be Pac Man on it.
I know only finding one silver dime isn't that big a deal, but it was still a pretty fun experience. I will have to try this somewhere else next time I am out making my rounds. Thanks to all you CRH guys for the heads up on this method of finding silver!
