Every now and then I get change back in dimes or nickels instead of bills but not too often. One place I shop I know gets their coin from my dump bank so I dont do that with them.

Banks INSIDE grocery stores... All the time. They have more rolls to give out. Pulled a bunch of silver Roosies (8) today - some from the rolls I got from a grocery store bank.

You can actually get quite a lot from grocery stores and not just from the banks. ask them nice and politely for some rolls of coinage. I have a freind who works in the cash office and if I ask her, she will order a box or two for me. This is not a constant thing, but its nice when you want the extra box now and again. Also, any grocery store with a coinstar coin counter can be a goldmine of finds. I have just recently gotten 2 quarters from people trying for the 6th time to run them through the machine. I traded them for 2 quarters that would go through the machine. And there is more than one grocery store in any town, or business. You pick up a couple rolls here and there and boy does that add up after a while.

Just my two cents, literally.

I ask everytime if they have gottenn any foreign currency from the coin star. Has not paid off yet. I've considered asking the people selling coins to coinstar to just sell them to me. Anyone do that yet?

I probably find more foreign coins in and around coin machines like Coinstar than U.S. coins. That said, none of them have been very valuable. I've also thought about asking to buy coins from people about to dump them, but aside from being awkward you would probably have to hand-count their bag or jar of coins, which would take a lot of time and defeat the purpose for the person who was looking to use a coin counting machine.

That made me laugh!

I think the people just want to get rid of their coins, not necessarily very fast.

I remember 15 years ago going to the coinstar...I knew exactly how much money was in my jar. I wonder if others know how much they have
