Machine wrapped? This is almost impossible considering their sorting machines sort according to metal content and weight, I've been through at least 30 boxes of CENTS, not one dime in the machine wrapped. I ALWAYS find dimes in customer wrapped rolls, probably because they feel bad for sneaking a canadian in

I went through $65.00 in rolled dimes, and $30.00 in rolled nickels. I got one 1964 dime and one 1943P nickel

. Also....... I was at our local WalMart this morning when I saw a lady putting her change into a COINSTAR machine. I saw a coin was rejected, and she put it back through. The machine was still counting and it rejected another coin. By then all her coins were fed through, so she put the rejected coin back through again, and the machine reqected it again. It looked like a dime. I steped up and said "you know it costs you 10% when you use this machine? She said yes, and I reached into the slot where the reqected coins fall, and picked out the dime. I'm sure it was the same coin that was rejected two other times. I reached into my pocket and took out a quarter and handed it to here and asked if it was ok to trade my quarter for her rejected dime and she said yes. Well ladies and gentleman, you guessed it. It was a 1954d dime. I always thought the coin machines keep the silver, but I guess I was wrong. Now when I see someone using a COINSTAR I will hang around and see if anything is rejected and check it out. Today I ordered a box of halfs, the teller said the box she had in the vault had already been gone through by another customer. I'm supposed to pick up the box on Tuesday. I will be my first half box.

$100 dollars in cents
4 dimes
2 Canadians, 1 Puerto Rician.
The one roll i counted had 50 cents plus the dime. Now i wonder the count, on the roll of halves, with a 100 colones coin was.

Its possible, but it likely won't happen very often. I have found a quarter in MWR halves on two separate occasions. Once the quarter was in place of a half. On the other occasional it was a full roll of halves plus the quarter.

I find dimes quite often in the Brinks boxes of wrapped cents, not unusual at all, along with Canadian and other foreign coins.

It happens more than you think. About a year ago i found $20 presidential dollars mixed in with my box of halves.

I receive pennies in my dime rolls periodically and they are torn/shaved down and many times sharp. (No idea if is the machine that wraps them that shaving them or what) since doing a high volume of cents in the ryedale, I see many dimes in with the zincs.

These are all from MRW's
