there are two reject bins, an external one for customers to get the coins coinstar doesn't take, then an internal one for catching junk the screen doesn't shift out and the really beat up or too big of a coin. I have found many of Ike dollars in the internal reject bin because they are just too big to go through the external one. External ones are for any customer or person with a sharp eye to get coins left behind. rather than do the scoop method to check, run your fingers around the edges. I have found many of silver dimes caught and hidden by the inch high ledge in the reject bin. Hope this helps.

Garo - do you work at a supermarket and have a Coinstar key?

I work at a store that has a coinstar. I can get the key to open it, accessing the internal reject bin, only by getting it from my manager. They trust me since the coinstar is one of my 'babies' along with all the SCOs, self check out lanes. Normal everyday customers can not get access to the internal reject bin. Not unless you want to go to jail for breaking into one of those. I don't push my luck opening up the coinstar to clean the insides out. I mostly find Ike dollars inside, and some foreign coins that I tend to love. But i keep my hunts to the external reject bins and listening for the silver song of rejected silver. Then if I am lucky I get the customer to come to my lane, to see if they had any coins the machine didn't take. I even take the canadian coins. If I am lucky I can find some pre-1967 canook silver.

Hope that helps and please don't get any funny idea about B&E on coinstars. It's so much more fun to hunt than go to jail.

You can push the plastic at the bottom just slightly and get a cent or two if you're lucky from the bin, otherwise, you need to work at a supermarket.
