Question about coin counting machines

[crazyfish]

If I take $600 +or- worth of loose coins to a coinstar or coin counting machine, and there are a few silver quarters, dimes or nickles, will the machine put them into the reject bin? Will some be counted and others not?

A genuine thought, I am surely unsure as to the solution to your problem.

Thanks for the well thought out insight of gibberish broseph!

Depends on the machine. My understanding is all Coinstar-branded machines reject silver, but this certainly isn't the case for all coin counters. If it were there wouldn't be people finding silver in the machine's bags.

Rejects can be anything with coin counters. For example Coinstar will reject coins at times that if you feed back in they will then not reject.

Coinstar rejects silver, other machines may or may not. The problem with Coinstar is that you either have to take a gift card for the amount, or let them take 9.8% of your dump.

Most machines will not reject silver. Coinstar (only the green Coinstar branded machines) will but I don't think many of the others will. I know for sure the ones around where I am don't because I buy bags and find silver in there along with foreign coins. Most machines I have delt with don't have a reject slot either.
