All these from the same hole - sure surprised me

[Pete in MI]

In one hole there were all these tokens plus 1 Netherlands 5 cent coin and even a plastic penny

Here is the Netherlands 5 cent piece - its even 1956!

As you can imagine I was shocked to find all these and even a 'penny' made of plastic in the same hole.

I didn't even have my detector with me at the time.

Here's how I found these all in the same hole. I took a large bundle of coins to one of those Coinstar machines and cashed in over $22.00 worth of coins/ The coins that the machine wouldn't accept fell into the return hole. When I scooped out the coins that were rejected I also found these tokens and the Netherlands coin and the plastic penny in the return hole.

Had ya going there for awhile I bet. Now the best part. You all know how well God meets our needs. I had taken Casey to a thrift store yesterday and she brought home over $75 worth of great clothes for her - and her Mom (sweet kid) - and paid half that as they had a 50% off sale going on. I took my cashed in coins and got clothes for myself as well - about $28 worth for around $14.

God is great - thank you Father God for your gifts. I am only guessing someone figured they could cheat the Coinstar machine with the tokens and even the plastic penny - then forgot or just left these things behind.

you're paying "coinstar" to cash in those coins. I have seen the "price" vary from machine to machine as to how much it costs. I just clean it in a tumbler, roll it and take it to the bank for 100% return. Neat tokens though, and you're probably right on the cheating. God Bless!

My kids always check out the machine at Meijers. One time Kody got $4.80 in Canadian coins! I got a chinese 20 cent piece too! WTG Pete!
