Amazing TD Bank Penny Arcade coin reject tray coin bonanza

[The Jersey DEvil]

The Penny Arcade coin machine at all TD Banks have been good to me during my CRHing career. And it was exceptionally great the other day.

The first thing I do before dumping coins is check the coin reject tray. So when I did the tray was totally full. And as fast as I was scooping handfuls of coins out they just kept coming falling down. With my long finger inside the tube, I kept pulling coins down all the time keeping filling the tray & the coins kept coming. I felt like I hit the jackpot at a casino in Atlantic City. My pants pocket was full & I couldn't fit anymore. Good thing I had a canvas money bag with me to put he coins in.

A total of 512 coins were found. 497 US coins; 14 assorted foreign coins & 1 car wash token good for $1.00. There are a lot of quarters, dimes, nickels & cents. After I go through all the coins to see if there are any keepers I'll cash them in.

Does anyone want to take a guess as to how much money is there? I will post the amount with the total break down later after I cash (dump) the coins. Does anyone want to make a guess as to how much money I found?

Cool!

The most I've ever scored was $15. None were keepers so I just through it right back into the machine with my halves.

$41.75 or so.

Once, I dumped on a Friday and they didn't put the half bag on properly, blocking the reject slot. It stayed that way until the following Tuesday when I went back in and filled up more halves. Total score? $72 in loose change blocked up, including 2 silver dimes and SLQ. Talk about a bonanza...

$38.19

Wow! Never seen anything close to that in a reject tray.

Was walking out of a dump bank today after withdrawing cash to pay for a box at another bank and saw something peeking out from behind the flap in the reject tray. Turned out to be a Costa Rica 50 colons coin. Worth about 10 cents, but it's something else for my world coins pile.

 

[baddbluff]

I'm guessing $30. Can you get in trouble for taking that or does the bank not care ?

 

[Weaselbrott]

Nice bonus! The foreign looks a lot like what I would pick up from my bank's reject area on any given day. I scored $47 last week from a penny arcade. There was a ton of coin uncounted from when I walked up to the machine, and then a load more in the tray like that. Certainly made for an exciting day including the 2 oz of silver I culled that day.

wow nice haul, penny has been good to me too, but never a "cache" greater than $10 or so in the reject tray.
Good luck and thanks for sharing!

That is awesome for you, not so much for the person who was shorted. I have seen that happen when the machine stops working correctly and just rejects everything. I pulled a 10 cent Peso out of a Penny Arcade today, and a few pennies. The best finds are usually on the magnet (found 10 steel 1943 pennies that way last week).

Extraordinary find, almost surreal. My wild guess is $50 or so. The other day I dumped $400 in halves and $200 in quarters at one of those. The halves bag filled up so the count was interrupted once, then it rebooted as I finished my dump. Funny thing was it rejected 2 halves, but still the two tickets totaled up to over $613 including dimes, nickels, and pennies which I hadn't dumped.

There may have been some coins stuck in the machine before you came.

Penny Arcade is the coin counting machines used at TD bank branches.. Penny and I have a love hate relationship.. Especially when she isn't feeling very good..

 

[hokielegend]

So out of the 512 coins not a single silver? strange indeed...

 

[SilverForBrains]

great score!

 

[TimZim]

I have found so much money its hard to count?? I would say $300 I did the same thing one time the money just kept pouring out. About $35. Now that i use bags i don't get to much anymore.

 

[The Jersey DEvil]

Wow you people are good with your guesses. Not counting the foreign coins, the total face value of the coins came to $29.96. There were 73 quarters (1 is a Bicentennial), 64 dimes, 57 nickels, 248 cents of which 66 are copper & there was 1 Wheatie dated 1956.
