| I might be late to the game, but I had a pocket full of quarters and dimes that the vending machine at work gave back to me from a $5 bill. As I sat there with full pockets, I had a light go off in my head. Why not put all these quarters back in the machine, then hit the coin return. Might get lucky and get some silver back. After about ten minutes, and a lot of strange looks from co-workers, I exchanged almost all of it for silver quarters and some dimes. Yes, most were the 40% variety, but I did have a few 90% coins as well. Not bad for 10 minutes, I guess. Anyone else try this? Might be a way to waste some company time from now on. |

Quoted:
Hitting coin return only returns your coin. It doesn't pull from the "bank" inside. That's what I thought, there's a temp storage so it'll return what you put in. There are machines though that won't return a bill, so if you put a $5 in and just hit the button to return it, it spits out coins. I used to do this on the rare occasions that I had cash, I put the coins in a jar at home for a rainy day fund whereas the bills would ultimately get spent. |

Quoted: Sorry, you are wrong. Each time I hit the coin return I got different coins. So, I would say it's coming from a storage of some kind.

You thought you hit the jackpot I bet. I have searched coins and anymore out of $200-300 worth I feel lucky to get 50 cents worth of silver. Quoted:

Easy fellas, I made a mistake. Thinking of the wrong coins. Damn. You thought you hit the jackpot I bet. I have searched coins and anymore out of $200-300 worth I feel lucky to get 50 cents worth of silver. I'm getting paid to exchange with vending machines. Not bad for a days work. |

Quoted:
I've never gotten a silver coin in my change. I'm 30.  Finding silver in my coins comes and goes in waves. Either when someone dies and the kids and grandkids spend all their saved coins or when a kid or grand kid steal and spend a large number of coins from their parents or grand parents. I know that when Mom's 2nd husband moved to a retirement home after Mom's death he gave all his coins stash to my nieces and nephews. They split close to $5,000 in change between 10 kids. The man had a collection of piggy banks and whenever he got another one he'd fill it with quarters plus probably a dozen 5 gallon water jugs that he'd filled with change over the years. No telling how much silver was in all that change. |

No telling how much silver was in all that change. I do from time to time. A cashier at a convenience store wanted to get rid of a couple plastic tubes of 50 cent pieces that a kid brought in to pay for some b.s. items. I bought them because my daughter loves dollar coins and 50 cent coins, because they are different. Turns out they were all silver. He must have hit someone's coin collection. |

Mid 30's here. I check EVERY coin I get. Lots of wheat pennies and even a Buffalo nickel once. Less than $1.00 face value of silver coins total.  Quoted:

I'm convinced I'm either unlucky (which I know I am) or it's regional. While I don't deal much with cash, when I do all the change goes in a glass jar. I've been through that jar a couple times, no silver stuff, no wheat pennies, etc. About the only thing of interest I see is Susan B dollars.

I've checked all my coins for the past 15 or so years. A couple of oddball nickels and two silver dimes. People that claim to routinely find silver coins in their change are full of it.
