Heart Palpatations at the Supermarket Coinstar

[Terry Soloman]

Picked up some prescriptions today at the Supermarket pharmacy, and on the way out the door swiped the Coinstar basket and reject tray with my free hand. BINGO! Feels like a dime in the reject tray and I'm thinking "Come on Silver Merc!" Pull it out, open my hand and the glint of GOLD fills my eyes!!!!!!!

Heart stops. Time slows down, everything is in slow motion. The sounds of the busy supermarket and the people around me disappear.

But, something was wrong. It didn't feel right in my hand I gazed at the Golden Coin in my hand and slowly flipped it over..

So, you are telling us, Terry, that it isn't gold?

 

[Mzjavert]

At least you got to dream for a minute.

 

[Honest Samuel]

Brass looks like Gold, good luck the next time.

 

[Kurios1]

Heck Terry, at our age the cheap thrill was worth the price of a gold coin!

 

[sprailroad]

Think how much stronger your heart now is in prep. for when the real thing happens. It's kind of like every time you dig a pull tab, well........it COULD have been a gold ring.

I remember getting a couple while hunting dime rolls. I thought I struck gold for a couple seconds . Free is free!

They need to make those out of a different color metal, or better yet, real gold

Was one of the prescriptions for medical marijuana?

Another hunter probably put it back in the tray for the next finder to pee himself Better luck next time

My favorite part is when the busy sounds of the store and shoppers disappeared around you!

Wow thought you had a beauty there! next time Terry!

That would stopped time for me as well Terry, a nitro moment where the time stops-the rush of adrenaline shoots through the body-then reality hits.
I'm thinking it's a winner to go messing with a detecting buddy-plant-record-laugh-run.

"Coinstar basket and reject tray" Is this the same thing or two different places to look?

The reject tray is on the front of the machine. The basket is where you feed in the coins. This is just below the screen. I often find coins in the blind spot.

Coinstars are becoming a popular place...nice find!

I have some Swiss "gold" coins, and some friends who metal detect .

I have dug up some of those "gold" colored Euros and almost did the happy dance. Boy that is a swift free fall back to reality!
....but its out there somewhere!
