Todays Finds no detector required!

[JohnnieWalker]

Every day my pocket change gets dumped into a large jug.

Today I ran it through the coinstar and got

A 1964 Rosie dime
A 1943 War Nickel

And the remaining change was exchanged for a 26" LCD HD TV and a full swivel motion mount!

Boy, that change really adds up, wish I started before 1964!

Man that is a lot of clad! Congratulations on getting the new LCD HD TV!

[JohnnieWalker]

That was about 5 years of pocket change.

That's correct, it was a nice bonus and it felt like Christmas.
I had heard that it would reject silver and good thing!

The TV was on sale at Target for only $249 and the swivel pivot bracket was like $80. I just finished mounting, it all works great!

yep...

wife and i put our pocket change in for over a year or so....978.00....turned in at the midflorida credit union...cost was 3.00 after the first 200.00 which was free....so 3 bucks to count it all and take it...

nice paid for a carnival cruise on sensation out of port canaveral 4 days 3 nights....rained everyday because of a hurricane going thru the area...

rained every day...i could not have been happier....we just needed a couple of days to spend together....saving my change again for next time..

I do the same thing,,,,,,,,,I just cant seem to get that high before I have to dip into it.

 

[JohnnieWalker]

Thats funny cause the first thing we dump the coins into says "Vacation Fund". When that is full we dump it into the big jug.

I found out from my detecting buddies that I could have gone to my local bank and saved the service fees. Will plan on that next time provided they will kick out the silver like Coinstar did. If not I might just manually roll the quarters and feed just the nickels dimes and pennies to the machine.

 

[OldSowBreath]

Agreed. I would manually roll quarters and dimes, and let Coinstar have the pennies and nickels.

wish i had a big radio

Enjoy the TV.

I take my change to a TD bank by me that has two change machines with no service fees. They take all coins but will not kick back silver. I also check the magnet on the machine before I leave and it usually produces a steel penny or two and a hand full of foreign coins.

Whenever walking past a CoinStar I always check the coin return which has produced silver for me in the past. My best was a silver quarter and dime both 1964.
