VendingExperts Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'm just curious... The things I find in my coin box other than US .25, never cease to amaze me! 4. Candy. 3. US coin other than quarter. 2. Foreign coin. 1. Cardboard circles the size of quarter. To top the list... I found on my route today... a CR2032 battery! Funny thing is I tested it and it was a brand new battery! I'll use it in my remote for my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ska173 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I've had all of the above, jabbed my finger on a paper clip reaching in to count change, what is the most interesting or unique coin you have pulled. I have an old Panamanian coin and one from United Arab Emirates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjacks Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I have about a 30lb bag of foreign coins that is dominated by Canadian quarters and the the mighty peso. Name a country and I probably have one of their coins. One of these days I will get around to exchanging it all for some local currency. I love it when I find parts that have fallen off the coin mechs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VendingExperts Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Thank you drop thru coin mechs! I have Oak and NW machines. I don't find weird stuff in my NW's, I only find it in my Oaks. But I'm not quite sure that they are successful at obtaining a vend, if that was the case, I think I'd find a lot of the same per collection!

pjvend Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 barrets, car dealer cheap key rings taped over, cardboard, goopy stuff of some kind, toothpicks and candy wrappers, but the best was a very old and rare series of very clean and US quarters. (obvious that someone was spending someones collection, but I never heard a word) I once saw a little huddle of people in front of my gumball machine at a local Hispanic store. My first thought was OH NO! It seems that they thought it was great that their pennies and dimes and nickles were being 'eaten' by the machine. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
