Huge Coinstar foreign coin haul

[sjvalleyhunter]

I was at a local Walmart and happened to glance in the Coinstar reject tray. I got a bit excited when I saw a pile of coins in hopes that there would be some silver. Unfortunately there were no silver coins, but there were still a few older foreign ones including one from 1942 and one from 1946. There ended up being 20 foreign coins from 6 countries and a pewter religious medallion. It was the most coins I've found at one time in a Coinstar.











1942 Republica Argentina 10 centavos

1946 Republica Del Ecuador 10 centavos

1978 Canadian dime

2011 Canadian quarter

2009 Mexican five pesos

1985 United Kingdom one pound

2012 U.K. five pence

Twelve, U.K. 20 pence coins, in four different varieties.

I'll probably keep the two older ones and give the rest to my nephew to play with. Whenever he gets a foreign coin he looks up information on the country it came from, so it'll be educational for him.

You might have some coins worth saving in those. I said that mostly because so many times Ive dug a foreign coin and I think or hope that's its a rare 15 or 1600s gold presado or a pine tree or a pear tree or some super old super rare coin and there never worth a thing!!! I didn't mean to down your finds It was me venting a little is all. You never know what kind of rare coins people toss into those coin stars Ive heard people finding lots of silver even a gold ring a few weeks ago. I would check em to be sure Good jpb!!!

I didn't take your post as being negative at all. I'm by no means a coin expect, but I do know that the vast majority of foreign coins aren't worth more than face value (at an exchange rate, at that). I just like the thought of finding a 75 year old coin from another country that ended up in the tray of machine at a Walmart. Just think of the stories that coin could tell!
