Turned out to be a very well worn 2000-D Sacagawea $1 coin but a total of $1.85 was worth it. Keep hunting and Good Luck!

Bill I am ignorant about the Coinstar thing but does it work like you just go up to a machine and there are abandoned things in the reject tray?
Yes, There is a hopper up top where you dump your coins to go through the machine. The machine then runs those coins through it's filter to separate and count all the different ones to give you a total (either cash at a 10% fee, or a gift chit at 100% value to a variety of businesses of your choice. Any coins that don't measure up to the machines specs due to being bent, corroded, too light, too heavy, slugs, batteries, etc, they end up in the reject bin down below. Sometimes good coins make it there too for whatever reason.....I suspect feeding the coins in too fast can do it, coin jams, or just glitches in the machine can do it too. I've taken the rejects and re-fed them into the machine and sometimes it will now take them, so, who knows? It must be that some people don't know about the reject bin, or, maybe they just forget to check it when done.

I have checked at least a dozen Coinstar trays from time to time, but none of them bore any fruit.
This is the whole thing about what is happening to the world.
Let me explain: We need more bees to pollinate so to have any fruit.
No bees no fruit
There's the problem right there.

Solution: Self pollinate-then it will bare fruit.
(I know too simple right) You'll thank me later.......:laughing7:

Nice one. Found this bunch in the Neighborhood Walmart yesterday. Largest number of coins, but not most valuable. Don't you think most people would hear them get kicked out? 20230117_152351.jpg 20230118_170749.jpg
