Is that our Precious?
I think this a better picture than a Coinstar machine.

This is a monthly series of log entries documenting my extended quest of finding Silver treasure in the most unlikely places or is it?

"One day there will be some poor little old widow with one of her late husband's jars of coins to be sorted by that newfangled green teller machine. She eases the jar on the machine to stare at the electronic screen testing her old bifocals tilting her head one way then the other. She mumbles to herself, 'What happened to the good old days when there's a lovely Teller to give me personal service?' I hear the sound of coins clatter into a metal tray. “My Sylvester needs some cat food, I forget my head if it wasn't attached”, she says. And hopefully I will be there just when she's done."

The results from my local Coinstar Machine

Total Checks two, as I was off my routine for the most of July but NO COIN or SILVER Results.
However, from a totally random chance at the gas station not far the Coinstar machine is this curious coin resembling a Loon $1.

What I thought as my Coinstar Consolation find of $1 dollar turned out to be another business token to operate the nearby self serve automotive vacuuming equipment located adjacent to the Car Wash & Gas Station. This token is deliberately made slightly larger than the Canadian Loon dollar for commercial vending machines to distinguish it from the legal currency. Looking at the machine the station charges $1 to use the vacuum as it also takes $1 loonies as well.
Whoopie, I don’t even own a car.

Now into the results from the Compass Fare Machines!

Now there has been a change in the Fare System by ways of an increase of general fares. Meaning the Single travel zone via rail system cash fare is now $3.00 rather than $2.95 so I would expect the nickel finds would be far lower from now on.
