Rainey day today, so along with other things to do I bagged up my dry sand beach clad and headed to my credit union where the coin counter is free to members,... three month total = $154.62
Beach clad for me is most always clean and shinny, so the occasional rejects, which are few, are usually damaged or foreign coins. Only had two, a 50 cent Paise from India and a trick nick.
The Paise is made of nickel, and I most likely thought it was one when I found it and put it in my pouch. Even after getting home and totaling my take I didn't notice it and must have then thought it was a quarter and counted it as one, It is the exact size.
The nickel I threw back into the machine and it was rejected again.
A closer look with glasses got the "ah ha moment". It is a real nickel, but was rejected because of weight, 5.5g compared to 5.0g of a normal nickel.
I'm going to have some fun with it, maybe a free lunch or two.
