  • I take in about 17 lbs of coins found metal detecting to the local Coinstar for processing. Over 2,000 coins are counted. Rejects of over 100 coins. Options for damaged, mutilated, eroded coins discussed.

    I have five gallon buckets. I have one for zinc, one for copper cents, one for nickels and one for dimes, quarters and half dollars. These are all trade units backed by the metals they contain.No need for melting even if it were legal. Melting would devalue the known metal coin alloys. I would love to get this coin lot if I could. People don't know what they have.

    That's really cool that you actually clean the coins. I made the mistake of taking a bunch of dirty "metal detecting" coins to my bank a couple years ago...they weren't very happy with me (small town...no coinstar machines around here). I did wash them off, but they were still in pretty rough condition

  • @bouncerslabrealnature9143

    I always take the rejected coins and spread them all over where people metal detect ....they look like chickens picking up feed.... great videos 😂. Small bits of copper wire are also hilarious. Hours of fun watching the person running around looking for something better 😂.

    Those crap Pennie’s work perfectly as fender washers for screwing down hardware cloth for chicken coops. I drill holes in useless Pennie’s and use as washers. Also rejected coins like quarters and half dollars and dimes could be silver. All 1964 and older are silver.

    Up here in Canada back in 2012, we stopped producing the penny because it was costing 1.3 cents each to produce. How long did it take you to find all those coins? BTW, coinstar should be called corn hole star.

    Fun Fact! The US has never minted a penny as pennies were and still are a British coin. When we gained independence, the founding fathers wanted an unalike economy to that of Britains with our own currency, so we had our version of the coin made which is just called a cent or one cent coin.

    one of your metal detectors to find and

    The pre 1981 cent is the only US money that is legit and backed by itself in its copper content. In a barter economy with silver being traded, perhaps copper cents will be used to round up or down an exchange.

    If you have some paper rolls to roll up your pennies, you can turn 100 or 200 pennies in for a few dollar bills. So long as they are rolled up, the teller isn't going to care if they are in good or bad shape. Beyond that, you can use them for exact change on incidental purchases and try to get rid of them a few pennies at a time. I keep all of my Copper pennies, and I even keep Nickels from 2003 and before for their Nickel & Copper content. I don't expect that to pay off in a large way, but I suspect that they will useful in either my future or that of my children.

    Put your coinstar reject coins back into your tumbler add a little dab of soap or shampoo let it tumble for 1 hour you'll probably be able to get those to shine up a little better. I'm not sure if you added rocks but fishbowl rocks are very cheap. Thank you for sharing. You are right putting the left over coins in a metal detecting hot spot area would be mean. I know I wouldn't appricate that...neither would you but it is a funny suggestion in a really mean spirited way. lol. I got my tiny rock tumbler from walmart and I love it. was 20$ How mush was your giant harbor freight tumbler...I'm looking around for a larger inexpensive tumbler to tumble real rocks.

    Just how many cents would you need to save to make it profitable enough to do so? 100,000 cents is only $1,000 and unless you can take them to a smelter that pays over 95% of melter value, the shipping cost itself would eat most of the profits? I once found a roll of cents that alas were all zinc. Nothing more sad than digging up 100 of them, all way too corroded to save 😢

Then it becomes somebody else’s problem, ha ha! Little by little. I always check the Coinstar reject slot. I’ve gotten very lucky there. 12% is outrageous.

    Your quarters that were rejected by the coin star most time work in vending machines still you can still just spend them out the British half penny is copper so keep it the rejected zinc penny's if they are readable just roll them and spend them if not just put them somewhere to rot away they will begone after several rains make fishing sinkers or washers out of them that's what I do I used to find lot of clad quarters dimes and nickels that wasn't worth anything but the face value I just put them back in circulation after I washed them off when I came home from metal detecting and spend them in vending machines at work or roll them up and spend the rolls or if I needed a dime nickel or quarter or just change to use at McDonald's or somewhere like that I spend them there when I paid for my stuff

      I sure wouldn't want to do that. That's why I opted for the Amazon gift card with no fee.

    Coin star is a rip off!! They take 10-12% of what you put in them. I take my coins to the local casino; because they know you’ll most likely spend the $ there they charge you zero!

    Sell them as collectable coins you would get a bunch more out of it if you did

    I don't want to sound like an OF, but the US doesn't have pennies.
    They have cents.
