Cashed in Some Coins

[Gamma_Joe]

After detecting, everything gets cleaned. The vintage, silver and "collectible" coins get saved. These are the leftovers.

Today they got cashed in, and dumped into the CoinMaster sorter. Total of $10.87 in cash, coming back.

They're about half and half from the Garrett GTI2500 and the Teknetics Omega 8000. Plenty enough for a banana split, cuppa coffee, and new batteries.

The CoinMaster rejected another 27 coins because they were too chewed up. Some are bent, others are cut.

Question: What do you do with coins like that?

Cheers,

Joe

I take mine to my bank and they take them. The rotten zinc's I just throw away, however. HH jim tn

The bank will exchange any currency that is damaged beyond use... but they don't like to do it.

Yeah, they do moan a little, but I don't dump a pile on them either. As ole mudpuppy used to do, file em, hammer them and squeeze em with a pliers. HH jim tn

Cashed in some more today into the CoinStar sorter. $1.92 in the pocket (after CoinStar kept its 10 percent).

One thing I thought was a quarter, turned out to be a token for "King Arthur's Amusement Castle". I looked it up, and found that they used to be in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. It was found here in a park in Florida -- somebody had it in their pocket, from NJ to FL?

You never know what the next "beep" will bring, and you never stop learning new things. What a great hobby.

Cheers,

Joe
