This past Saturday I started a 12-day staycation and decided it would be a fun idea to visit at least one Coinstar each day and chronicle the results. Here's what's been found so far:


Day 1, Sat Nov 3rd

Smith's (near me) - Skunk

Day 2, Sun Nov 4th

Smith's (near me) - Skunk
Albertson's (a couple blocks away) - Skunk
Smith's (three blocks away) - Skunk

[Well, this is off to rollicking start! :BangHead:]

Day 3, Mon Nov 5th
Smith's (the one I used to work at across town) - Full reject tray, 74 coins! All modern, pennies thru dimes totalling $2.32! :hello2:
Smith's (near me) - a clad dime :icon_thumright:

Day 4, Tues Nov 6th

Smith's (near me) - 2 clad quarters, 2 zincolns :icon_thumright:
Albertson's (couple of blocks away) - Skunk
Smith's (near me, return visit) - one zincoln...and a 1964 dime! :headbang:

Day 5, Wed Nov 7th

Walmart (couple miles from me) - Two German Euro coins --> 1 euro cent (2008D), 2 euro cents (2008F) & a zincoln. :thumbsup:
Smith's (my old workplace again) - 12 coins consisting of modern cents thru dimes totalling 51 cents. My old haunt is such a goldmine! Wish I could visit there more often.
Smith's (near me, figured I'd stop on the way home) - Skunk! :-\

To be continued tomorrow...

Smith's (my old workplace, yet again) - Skunked, knew it couldn't last. :-\

Btw, I was gonna edit my OP with each day's progress, but it seems that's not possible after a certain amount of time has elapsed. :dontknow:

Day 8, Sat Nov 10th

 Smith's (near me) - Two clad dimes (stuck together), and a severely corroded zincoln with missing metal.
Albertson's (a couple blocks away) - Clad quarter & dime, Canadian quarter (2013) & dime (1992), and a dime-sized Bicentennial quarter replica. Cool stuff!
Smith's (three blocks away) - Skunk. Was hoping for the hat trick but missed out.

Had occasion to stop by the first two again today:

Smith's (near me) - Single zincoln
Albertson's (a couple blocks away) - Two zincolns!

4 out of 5 scores today. Pretty happy with that. :hello2:

Day 9, Sun Nov 11th

Was driving in another part of town and had an hour to kill before meeting a friend for dinner, so I hit any Coinstar I could along the way.

Walmart - 3 zincolns, 1 copper penny and a 1962-D dime all on the ground in front of the machine. Woo hoo!
Albertson's #1 - 4 zincolns, 1 nickel and a German 10 euro cents (2002G). Great stuff so far!
Smith's - Skunk at the machine, but found a clad dime on the floor near the checkout. Mine! :laughing7:
Albertson's #2 - Total skunkeroo. Ah well, still a great haul for the day.

At the Smith's near me I bagged a clad dime and 2 zincolns, plus another clad dime on the floor near checkout. Supermarkets never fail to have loose change on the floor.

Day 12, Wed Nov 14th

Ended the 12-day run with the three usual suspects:

Smith's (near me) - 1 zincoln
Albertson's (a couple blocks away) - Four zincolns
Smith's (three blocks away) - Nickel, clad dime, clad quarter and a Philippines 1 piso (2015)

Had a blast doing this!

29 different searches and found something on 17 of those stops.
Total US found was $5.17 including two silver dimes! :headbang:

Foreigns were from Canada, Germany and the Philippines, a nice sampling. :icon_thumleft:

Total coins found ---> 127 :hello2:
