POCKET CHANGE PAYS OFF

[Siegfried Schlagrule]

Bought a can of pop today and recieved an AU 1938-D nickel in my change. The only other 38-D I got in change came from a goat (automatic machine that buys aluminum cans and spits out the payment in coins.) SS

Nice Job! it is good to pay attention to your money.

I walk by a CoinStar coin exchanging machine the other day after I check out my grocery. I spotted a silver 10cent in the change return dispense slot. Neat, I thought to myself.

since then. I kept my eyes on copy machines and kids rides change return slot that you find at the grocery stores.

i saw an older couple redeeming many jars of coins into one of those coinstar machines, and i started to wonder how many old and valuable coins have been fed into those coinstar machines

I once took a collection of clad to a coinstar machine and started feeding them all in. Around $40 or so, the machine jammed, so I called to manager over to help out. He unlocked the machine and inside there's a feedermechanism that ws gummed up with all kinds of strange coins. He grabbed them all up and put them in my hand and said, "here. It only takes American coins."

A German "pennig"
5c. euro
a 1946 wheatie
a very strange penny, which I think is Canadian, but has a strange reverse, which looks like a metal gate with chains hanging from the sides and a crown on top
86 cents in Canadian coins (two of which appear to have two dates each on them)
A penny with a hole in it
A penny with a punch out of it in the shape of a cross

Needless to say, it was very interesting, maybe I should ask him to open it more often?

the coin with the gate and the chains is a british penny
