Coin Counter--Reject Silver

[MentalUnrest]

What are people's experience with the auto coin counters that reject silver? Here is my story.

A credit union use to allow to buy bags off the machine so before I did, I sacrificed a silver Rosie to see if it rejected it or accepted it. Was not going to buy the bags if it sent it to reject tray. It accepted it and so for a few months, I bought bags and had decent results.

Fast forward and now they no longer will sell me bags so I turned it to a dump bank. Since then, I have found a 40% and several Rosie's in reject tray as well as one teller saying a older lady brought up a handful if silver dimes she said were continually being rejected.

This particular counter seems to accept and reject them depending on the day. What are others experience with this? I have read numerous posts that coinstar rejects silver.

I find silver all the freakin' time in TD bank reject trays. Amounts to anywhere from a few grams to half an ounce a week. In fact, I've found more silver in reject trays than I have in boxes so far this year.

My experience has been that TD rejects silver, but I'm not about to test it with my silver. My only silver reject tray finds have been at TD.

I have found more rejects from the penny arcade at TD than any other.. Even with other machines that are known to reject silver, I have found that they will not always do it and some may slip through the cracks..

I don't know where you all live but the TD banks near me never reject silver. I've been allowed to swap out clad halves for 40% halves that I spied sitting in the halves bag. I usually just get a bunch of foreign coins and I did find that 22 carat gold ring in a TD Penny Arcade.

The coin star machines at the grocery stores near me spit out silver. So far I've found one silver roosie and a war nickel.

We don't have any TD banks in my area. There are only a few banks that do have coin counters in the lobby instead of behind the counter, and I haven't found anything yet. I do plan on visiting those banks more in the coming weeks because they are great dump banks that I haven't utilized to this point.

My TD Bank coin couting machine rejects silver - i recently found 2 silver dimes in a reject tray w/ 20$ clad too last year i found a couple of silver dimes and 1 silver quarter

I work at TD. We have two penny arcade machines. Both accept silver dimes, nickels and halves. However only one of the machine accepts quarters and the other one rejects it. Ive found over 150 quarters that been rejected from one of the machines

This topic comes up all the time and I give my take again... Just like the machine rejects damaged and worn down coins, they sometime (but not always) will reject silver. 9 times out of 10 silver coins (dimes, quarters halves, and nickels) are much older than most coins in coins in circulation. As such, on the whole, they are much more worn and likely to seem "different" to the sorting mechanism in the machine. Just like the machine will reject a really worn 2010 dime, it'll reject a silver dime that will, on average, be just as worn. So, in conclusion, the machines at TD will sometimes reject and sometimes accept. Simple solution? DO NOT use the machine to sort. DO check the reject tray and ask the tellers if you can check the tube. For the last time, there is no yes it does accept or no it doesn't accept answer. The answer is it does both accept and reject silver. You best option is to always check for reject.

I think I want to open an arcade just so i can swipe the silver that ends up there.

Vending machine route.

Every now and then I show up to my dump banks and the gentleman who works on the coin machine is there. We talk periodically and he told me that this machine can be programmed to reject silver. I think it is really easy to do.

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't

I didn't realize TD was the name of the bank. We don't have those in Utah. I thought it was short for some specific type of bank.

What do you mean ask to check the tube?

I've been roll hunting steadily for five years, have dumped easily a hundred grand in coin through counters, and have never once found a silver reject.

What would be the upside of that? What good would it do the bank to have a machine that rejected coins? Think he was just lying to you or spreading misinformation.
