Unusual surprise from top-loader

[qtrs-xcite-me]

My bank and one grocery store have coin counters that are short - you raise a lid and pour your coins into a plastic grid and then start the machine to count your coins and receive a receipt.
Today, I was at the grocery store and walked by the machine and checked the reject slot that was empty. However, in the past I have found a coin perched on the grid that had not gone through, so I lifted the lid to check.
I could see a number of coins through the grid that had not been counted, so I started the machine to see what I would "win". The machine counted $14.09, including 2 $1 coins, 31 quarters and 20 dimes. After the 10.9% fee, I netted $12.55.
what a great reduction of my grocery bill!
