CoinStar theft is illegal in all states

[Coinstar magnet]

When I was young and broke I would go to a bar and look down. I'd often find money on the floor.

I once played about a week's worth of pinball this way. No silver finds then, but this was also the last year I saw a pre-1965 quarter in circulation.

Years ago my father ran a tavern in Enumclaw Washington called the Mint and later the Lemon Tree..
and I remember going there to help clean up or something....I found change all over the place...

My family owned a soda/candy machine route until the late 2010's, we would find silver quarters and dimes in the coin hoppers quite regularly well into the late 1990's, several silvers per month, but by the mid 2000's to early 2010's it really tapered off to essentially nothing, maybe one or two silver coin per year. I also knew the guy who collected the coins from the payphones and would occasionally get a huge sack of reject coins from him, it was a bag of slugs, arcade tokens, and international coins. There were nazi Germany pennies once and another time a 1880's seated liberty dime, that's the oldest coin I ever found in circulation.

That's pretty cool..
Very nice of thar guy to share his finds with you! The nazi pennies sound interesting...

Or go to the arcade and check every single coin return slot until you found some quarters to play Galaga.

When the county Fair comes around they have those machines that look like they will push money down if you add one more quarter. Well at the end of the day they just start dumping everything if nobody comes around to empty them
