Reject chute bonanza

[CC-Hunter]

Went to dump some halves today but the coin counter was out of order. Checked the reject chute and found that it was heavily backed up. Since I wasn't able to dump any coins I could not spend time pulling everything out, but still found about $10 in clad plus a euro.



Some comfort for all my skunk boxes.

Why you were not able to take it all? Who will know you did not dumped?

Well it was their fault it was out of order. The least they should do is pay for time and gas.....lol

To be clear, the machine was out of order when I got there. The bank was empty and I had already asked the tellers if the machine was down, so it was a bit awkward already to be scooping coins out of the chute (none had dropped to the tray). I didn't want to push my luck. The machine is supposed to be fixed today and I could go back, but I assume that the tech will clear out the chute. The rest of the stuff in the chute is probably a bunch of zincolns, but you never know what may have been jammed up in there.

Since my curiosity about the rest of the coins in the chute was killing me, I went back today and the machine was working. At first I was pleasantly surprised to see that there were still a lot of coins in the reject chute, but the let down when I realized it was just a bunch of zincolns and a clad quarter. Along with my halves, I fed the cents and the quarter back through the machine. Turns out the machine did not count any cents at all - no big deal since they weren't mine in the first place. This is still my favorite branch for finding clad and foreign. It has never produced silver, but I've found a lot of clad dollar coins.
