As I was cashing yesterday at one of the local self serve coin machines, the machine's bin filled. And as I have recently learned about the reject slot on the inside of the machine, I start asking if I can clean it out for them. Usually just foreign coins, but since they just throw the stuff out, they don't seem to care. Well, when she opened up the machine, the reject bucket was pretty full, so rather than pick through the dust and grime at the bank, I decided to just dump the whole thing into my canvas bag and just search through it when I got home.
First, here is a picture of the everything from the reject bucket after all the coins had been removed (The pop can is there for scale):
Next a picture of the coins that were removed:
The weirdest thing in my opinion was finding the amazing shrinking quarter:
And the half cent:
Ended up with:
20 US coins (13 pennies, 2 nickels, 5 dimes)
38 Foreign coins
Austria, 1 Euro Cent (2002(2)),
Brazil, 1 Centavo (1998, 1999),

Iceland, 1 Eyrir (1953),
