Coin stars and TD bank counters are the best place for silver quarters

I have found three silver quarters in CoinStar machines over the past four weeks.

Today I found a 1964 quarter and a dime from both 1950 and 1957 ( these are silver, of course). Along with these coins were $3.82 in US coins, a 1992 New Peso from Mexico, a 1998 50 Satang from Thailand, and a handful of Canadian coins. Perhaps you can tell I am the first to volunteer to get milk when we are out. The CoinStar machine at our neighborhood grocery store has been very good to me.

The coinstars by me kick out wheats, due to the weight I was told by a tech working on it. Have found mercs and one quarter.

On another thread I mentioned that you should be checking the perforated tray where you dump the coins. Small pieces of jewelry and earrings fall through with the dust. I couldn't even cound how many CZ studs and a few diamonds I've pulled out of the dust along with gold hoop style earrings. A pencil and a blob of gum or that putty used to hang pics on the walls works excellent.

Just checked a coinstar at a walmart. Found a reject tray full of rupee coins from India. Glad I took them though because hidden in the handful was a lone 1964 dime. Now I need to figure out what to do with the rupees?

Give them away. I was trading coins once at the airport in frankfurt when I started talking to an indian couple. He pulled out some 500 rupee notes and just gave them to me, not worth squat lol

Yeah I looked up the exchange rate and saw that 1 rupee = .015 dollars

Are you guys looking someplace other than the reject bin? I have never found a single coin in a coinstar reject chute.

I have found tons of coins in the reject slot. I have lots of coins tars in my area. Certain ones produce more then others. Certain ones I have found zero coins in. It's all being there at the right time.

That being said it pays to check under the machine, next to the machine, and in the basket where the coins get dumped it. I have found coins in all those places. People put their rejects in all kind of weird places. I have even seen them in a trash can next to the machine. My best was a mercury dime that was under the machine.

Not a quarter but I walked by a coinstar in a grocery last night and saw a ring beneath the "input" tray. It looked like white gold with a few stones, but it could be only junk. I may go back and fish it out when the store is open tomorrow.

Merry Christmas to me? :)
