Casinos? Been thinking of hitting one bcause gamblers don't pay attention and employees aren't allowed to pocket or dig through them. Granted quality runs a risk but might be worth it

Ive looked the last few times I have been to them, that said I found zero machines that run coins anymore there all printed tickets. Unless you could find one that run on coins then I'd say go for it!!

Neighbor lady works at the Indian casino and works in the money room and IS allowed to buy coins that she deems worthy of keeping. She has to set all coins aside and at the end of her shift the manager approves the purchase and away she goes. Have not seen the pile of silver she has but have heard about it from her husband. She has worked there for 8 years and according to him, has amassed 2 buckets of silver. I asked about making it a dump place and he said max is $500 in any coin per day so that wouldn't work for me.

I see no hurt in asking about possible information on how to acquire coins, before running into a situation that you did not want to involve yourself in. Good Luck!

I no long do this since I moved to the Caribbean. I would ALWAYS go to the casino only to by bags of dimes and halves off those coin counting machine. (They would use the cents, nickels, and quarters for their voucher redeeming machines) They loved that I did this because they didn't have to pay to ship them out. I even had one of the cashiers regularly call me when the half bag filled cause it didn't happen often. This is, IMHO, the best place to buy bags or coin. I don't know how many times I bought from them, but I was never skunked....ever.

And like stated above, they are around to buy coins as they see/find them. The head cage manager told me a story about a bag with LOTS of silver quarters in it. I wasn't that mad because they won't even sell me those bags because they reuse them in thier voucher redeeming machines.

The casino I frequented was Hollywood casino Charlestown, WV and Grantville, PA.

If you have the opportunity to buy from a casino, do it. Like I said, I have never been skunked on dimes and halves at these casinos. My first ever Barber dime came from one of those casino bags.

Hope this helps, and good luck and happy hunting!
