GarouLady said:Problem with coinstars counters is that everyone is catching onto making sure they grab their coins. my thing now is that since I am a cashier and I am the normal nighttime cashier and they have to come to me to cash those slips, I ask them if they have any weird coins that didn't go through. More often then not they say no or give me a look, and sometimes I get lucky and someone who doesn't know or doesn't care gets out the handful of rejects. Even the canadian coins I know take a peek at. the 1942 canadian coins that I recently found out are 40% silver. Sometimes I get the ones who absolutely have no idea what they have. If they are younger, I educate them and point them to the nearest coinshop. then I swap out the silver or cool canadian coins for normal coinage. I have actually have had people bring silver to me saying it won't go through the machine and I switch it out for normal coinage so it does go through the counter.
Sincerely, GarouLady
The only silver quarter I have found was in a coinstar, the halfs kicked it out!I've never found a silver quarter in a roll, but found one via coinstar.
