Scoring at the Coinstar machine

[Michiganne]

I learned about checking the Coinstar machines for rejects here on TNet. It soon became the highlight of a grocery shopping trip for my son, now 8 YO. This weekend he did his usual reconnaissance and scored $1.27, which is a new record for him. Included was a Somalian 10 schilling complete with camel. He was a happy camper. (And I'm just a bit jealous....)

I also check out the coinstar machine. Now my 5 yr old daughter has started checking. My wife got mad at m saying now do you see what you got your daughter doing. I told her got to teach them young to make a buck. WTG on on the great finds....Matt

Nice score and great idea. I will have to watch our local coin star. My son and I use to hit the car wash in the summer time to do what we called treasure hunting! People are always getting change setting the remainder they do not use on the ledge and a lot of times forgetting about it. $2.00 and a case of matchbox cars are our car wash record!
