I imagine she is learning all about coins then.... hopefully she has coin books to keep her saves in... that's really sweet.

Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 

I do check...but try not to look too obvious...nice to know I'm not the only one :)
One time at a "Food Depot" discount grocery I looked under the machine and I saw 20 + coins Quarters , / all types deep under the machine , so I went and got a 2 pack of fly swatters & a flat duster on a stick and swept most of the coins out the front and the left side of the machine , I scored a few dollars US & A-lot of foreign types 'mostly Pecos , and Canadian and a few Euros . I did not damage the duster or the fly swatters & walked back to the Isle they were on then hung them back up . Some did look at me funny and lost prevention followed me around as I shopped after but I did not care .

Not trying to brag here just reliving some fun times .

Have a blessed day & good luck in the future .

P.S For about 6-7 years now I have a big plastic water bottle (4 or 5 GALLONS ) and I save all found coins that are Cooper Nickel (Dimes, Nickels , Quarters & Copper Cents ) including Dug coins , & coins I get back in change .

It's gonna be fun rolling all those coins up ( hope I won't need them for many more years ) Cause I'm not losing 6-8 cent of every dollar to a fee and I don;t need no stinking gift cards . LOL i do put all zinc cents in my savings account ' sorry copper cent hunters' .

Again Good day.

I recall using a long tool of some sort I retrieved from my car to get coins I couldn't reach with my hands... desperate times call for desperate measures. :)

I've got an old mixed nut container I keep in my car for each coinstar find...and put the good finds in coin books...what a great hobby...
