12 war nickels tonight

[Coinstar magnet]

Not sure why but this bank branch keeps the war nickels coming...1st visit yielded 21, 2nd garnered 17, and tonight 12....with a 1988 bonus NRA nickel...thought at first it was a mint mark.

Thanks for viewing!

Surely someone punched that NRA into it as some sort of statement. I see people saying this all the time about getting lucky at a coinstar. What's the deal with that? Excuse my very obvious ignorance on this subject and educate me.
Is there actually some sort of Coinstar fishing going on?

Agree...
Coinstars are found in various grocery stores...Walmarts etc...they are green in color...and say coinstar on them...the way they work is people bring in their spare change and pour their coins into the coinstar which counts the coins...I think the machine keeps 10 or 11 percent of what is poured in...and you keep the rest... the machine gives you a receipt that you can cash in... basically, it deals with your loose change... Coinstars reject foreign coins, silver coins, tokens etc...which end up in the reject bin just below where the coins were poured in... One time I recovered $2 in nickels someone had left there...and I've gotten a good amount of silver coins over time...

Hope that helps

So basically it is simply groping the coinstar machine reject bin every time you get around it? LOL
Sounds simple enough.

That's it...you said it much more succinctly 😊. It also pays to feel around where the coins are poured in and behind the handle...I have retrieved quite a few coins that way...
