Actually, the coins came from under the machine, not in the reject slot. I barely find anything in the slot. My finds are almost always from under the Coinstar. I've found about 8 silver dimes and a semi-key silver quarter (1936-D), plus probably like 50 types of foreign, including a silver 80% South African 3 pence from 1943.

Do you just reach under the machine

Do you just reach under the machine

More important- is it the same machine everyday? or do you do a coinstar road trip?

I look at the machines that are in the stores I shop at. I use a tool for looking under the machine (which I posted pics of earlier on this thread), and a flashlight.

I still haven't found anything left over at coinstar. People around here must be too greedy to leave anything behind. I did find a silver Washington in a cash register at work today.

1999 Cayman Islands quarter is my solitary find so far.

Like Sag says, you don't really find much in the reject slot. You have to look under and around the machine. I don't use Coinstar very much, but bank coin machines have produced all kinds of good reject finds for me.

Just found my first silver in a coin star. Also it is my oldest foreign coin found in a coin star. After a bit of research on this coin, I found that all coinage for Cuba during this time was minted in Philadelphia. The coin was minted from 1915-1949. So the one I found happened to be the first year for this coin. If I read correctly, there was a total of around 7,000,000 minted in 1915, with 4 different varieties. The rarest variety could be worth up to $150 to the right person. Not sure which variety I am holding on to. I am still trying to talk myself into counting the reeds on the edge. AND it is a 90%er, so that's always a good day.

Do coin stars have a magnet

Do coin stars have a magnet

No. It will internally reject trash and large dollars, but anything coin-like that doesn't compare right hits the external reject.

Found a 2009 Bahamian penny. Also a 1983 penny. Why would that be in the reject bin?

Lots of replies so won't be able to read them all. But what's the deal with coinstars. I've only seen the machines from a distance. Would it be fairly simple to just go search the reject slot and be on my way. I have always wanted to do this, cause you figure some people can't be bothered or just don't know that stuff could be rejected. I kind of feel weird doing it so just hopefully it's fairly easy to look and be done.
