The Publix machines here have 2 different designs, the one the chute is a low and open protruding cup at your knees, the other its higher and recessed. I find more left in the recessed one, except one time someone had stuffed a folded envelope in the slot blocking reject coins from coming out. What type do your stores have, and do you see a difference?

Also the one wally world more than a few times there has been a plastic grocery bag blocking the rejects, do you see that as often, or is it a trick someone local pulls?
 

The several Publix stores here that I hit all have the same type of machines, reject tray protruding at your knees. Winn Dixie and Wally World have the coinstars
 

Yesterday in Publix, 1963 Netherlands Antilles 1 cent, and 1936 wheat in very good condition:icon_thumright:

Around here the employees do that and pull the bag (plug) out when people are done. Don't forget to check through the holes where you dump your coins! A pencil with a blob of the sour green apple gum on it will fish diamond stud earrings out slicker t n snot! No coins but plenty of earrings & fake finger nails!
