When I was a kid I always checked the the coin returns on all the pay phones I walked or road my bike past. Every now and then there'd be that quarter or dime left behind.

I haven't had much luck with the Coin Conversion machines at Publix. I found a clad quarter once and a couple of Canadian coins once, and that's been it. People used to be able to buy the coin bags inside (sorted by denomination) until the company put a stop to that.

Too bad about buying bags, can you do that with coin star machines?

No, unfortunately. All the machines are owned by Coinstar/Outerwall, and the entire metal bin goes back to the company for sorting. Store managers have keys and can open the machine if needed, but the company won't sell to us.

Hit the Publix Coin Conversion machine after work, 24cents, an israeli coin, and what appears to be an israeli token, but not sure:

It's a zipper tab or similar adornment, probably from a winter jacket. I've found several of these. The first time I saw one, I thought it might be an ancient coin.

Never thought about that, no hole to attach, but probably worn off, sides very smooth
