Coinstar was chock full today

[CJ9]

Lots of pennies, and some other interesting pieces.

15 steel cents (2 are toasted), so 13 keepers
35 wheats (including the 1933). A lot of them are 1940, 1941, 1942 (wonder if there is something about those years that Coinstar rejects)
25 Mexican centavos from 1950 (0.0321 oz. of silver)
5 German pfennig from City of Rosenheim 1918. This is interesting. I haven't looked into this, but I guess German cities had individual coins during WW1?
Other various stuff including 2 British farthings from 1942 and a few tokens.

That's crazy! Who just leaves behind money like that?!

That was all in one Coinstar? Was it overflowing and spilling out into the floor?

Thats quite the haul!

Yep, they were called notgeld, sort of emergency war coinage. Plenty of sites cover this topic. Great haul! Looks like someone got rid of great-grandpa's stash.

Those reject chutes hold a lot. Twice I've recovered 200+ coins that were just sitting there.

Fantastic!

Sounds like someone got great Grandpa coins.
