The rainy month April saw only a meager result yielding only two coins from three Coinstar Machines and as in the sign on this machine emphasizes the word BEYOND my hunt for coins have indeed taken me to a different approach and that is check other machine type more often.
The CoinStar Results
1.
1989 D Jefferson Five Cents Reverse Monticello 5 g Copper nickel KM# 192, KM# A192, Schön# 196 Mintage of 570,842,474. I really like to hang on to US coinage for a few reasons;
A.
First reason is the Canadian Chartered Banks make a huge amount of profit from their Canadian Customers by exchanging at par, therefore deliberatly shortchanging us, and repatrites them back to the US by the truck load. My long time pet coin project is denying them even little profit puts a smile on my face.
Second reason is that I or a friend may use them going south over the border. But that hasn’t happened even before 9-11.
And now my third reason, ‘s theory whether it happens on July 4th or what ever the date, It COULD pay to have this base covered. I can’t find no equivalent legislation in Canada yet to execute a similar option. As if the Canadian government can’t get any dumber than it is already. I’ve actually saved up almost ten pounds of US Clad coins over the years.
