5 Kopeks the richer

[Coinstar magnet]

Did my usual rounds of the coinstars today...sadly, no silver but did manage a Russian 5 Kopeks coin...maybe a first...I need to check. Thanks for viewing.

Where I live we have Safeways, Qfc, and Hagens....that have the coinstars... Safeways are the equivalent of Shaws...I think....not sure on the spelling...if I move to the east coast I'll need to find where all the coinstars are there... especially in winter...when it's too cold to detect...

Nice finds CM. You probably know this but with the CDN quarter, there’s four years ‘65-68 that were silver (about 40% of ‘68s were silver planchettes) with that effigy used from ‘65-89. I don’t see the date in your photos so throw it out there knowing odds aren’t good but not zero.

Nice finds! Here in New England there are coinstars in Stop & Shop, Big Y, Price-Rite, Walmart, Price Chopper, Shaws. It depends on the area. Also in some banks. Yesterday I found another coinstar machine nearby, and in the first time checking it I got two clad dimes. Better than nothing.

Nice find. The only Coinstar I know of sits in a major department store,
and it's located right in the customer service area. No doubt the
employees watch it, as every time I check it's always empty.

Just looked it up...5 Russian Kopek's is worth .0006 US Dollars.

The one Safeway I stop by I found out that clerks there check it daily so I have to be quick.
