The Pirate Poetry once again...
T’was the last Saturday of the month of Januarly
as best as I can remember hence rarely,
when I spy with me unpatched eye,
another Coinstar score in the store that I frequent quite fairly .
Me thinks the Store staff are catching on to me as the findings have plunged off the chart of pickings on the month of January but I do have some results.
So to compensate for the Store’s intervention I started checking the nearby Pepsi machine outside and also the Light Rail Transit Station Compass machines along the way from the store. It was deemed necessary to adapt to new circumstances here. It is surprising what some landlubbers leave behind when they are in a haste.

1With the Coinstar machine more frequently patrolled by the Store Staff and got totally skunked on the foreign coin department but decent result for the nearby Compass Train fare machines located just under a block away.

1With hardly any foot traffic around these machines at 2330 hrs in the evening I have the chance to check the Output trays. With passengers rushing to catch an inbound train there are quite the bit of change left behind in these machines. So Lo and Behold, my January 2019 results!
With single zone cash fares at $2.95 ....Nickels are the most frequent find.

Coinstar Machines are FUN and They are Converting some over here in the USA so you can buy Bitcoin through them..............
Coinstars into Bitcoin machines @stokjockey? Got pictures?
What an impressive find, sis!!! I better hit that only Coinstar machine in our neighborhood!
They, or the ones here, seem to get lots of junk in them too like; pull tabs, wood or metal screws, thumb tacks, electrical connectors that are potentially sharp objects. So be careful.
i enjoyed your post very much! i have a jar of change that i find on the floor while going about my day.
It eventually adds up over time.
Older coins may have valuable metal worth more than the face value, some may have a low mintage and have a Numismatic premium if it is in collectable condition grade.

I agree! i will cash it out by the end of the year and buy some bitcoin with it. thats what i did the last time i filled up my jar.
Here's a free vote, just for being you!! Have an amazing day!!
Thank you, great to see a fresh face or name. Finding $4 CAD is more than I get with most of my blogs/posts.
Pretty decent haul for free money! I like how it goes into the bullion buying fund. ☺️
February is shaping up okay with almost $3 CAD found, adding the collected deposits from Beverage containers to the tune of $41 but some of it may go into Pizza night for my kids. Guilt free cash.
That’s a nice score Kerris, free money is awesome
At this rate, in six or seven months I can buy a 1 oz Maple Leaf with free tax free cash. I just got to be patient.

So this is that former lead singer for Van Halen. Pretty cool guy.
I must confess, I have started to loot the coinstar machine. so far just a very ugly penny, that no longer looks like a penny.
My March report will be coming out and I'm skunked out as the Store Staff have been clearing my Favorite Coinstar machine much more often than usual. I'll keep it up for now and augment with other nearby Vendor machines, 19 coins and 1 store token.
