Got my first ever war nickel this week. How common are they in Coinstars?

Curious if others find these regularly.

My daughter checked the ii star at her Winn Dixie and found a 1939 nickel

Not regularly!

I've found lots of different things including silver and steel wheaties but not a war nickel.

Nice grab. I haven't found one yet either. But people hunting nickel rolls seem to have better luck than I would have thought, even if it is a more targeted search.

Never in a Coinstar but, ironically enough, I found my first ever (1944 P "silver" war nickel) this past July. Been detecting since the early 1980's but that was my first.

Last year (I think) I found a war nickel and a steel penny together in a coinstar. I am guessing someone put their parents' or grandparents' coins through the machine. Those are both the only ones of those types I have found.

I only find silver dimes in coinstars I think because they are so light people don't hear them hit the return so a nickel probably isn't that common.
