- This is a quick video that I created to show the viewers how much money I collected inside of a treasure chest I purchased at a grocery store on a whim. I started throwing change in the chest in late 2002 and finally decided it was time to go down to my credit union and run it through their coin machine. They didn't even charge me a fee since I am a member! Winning! This one was fun to make and brought back a plethora of memories about the last 21 plus years and how my life has changed. Thanks for checking it out.
1959 quarter is worth $5
Nice!
Thank U God....opening my treasure chest right now..blessing to all.
Good luck!
Bet he was at least $2000 short. If you collect for 21 years, you’re going to valuable, rare coins.
Congratulations
Thank you for checking the video out!!!
Nice 1952 silver quarter it spit out!!
Yes, I ran it through a couple of times and thought maybe I was getting a message sent and should hold on to it.
@@thehikingpaisano6109 Yeah thats a keeper.
Nice!
@@thehikingpaisano6109 Yeah the quarters from 1964 are worth $5 and dimes are worth $3 ish hopefully you picked them all out
My 12 year old daughter loves rare coins and fished some out that she said has some “extra” value. there was over 14,000 coins in all so some may have slipped through but hopefully not too many. Thanks for taking the time to check the video out.
That's a nice chunk of change. I save my change every year and use it for a small treasure hunt here in Wisconsin I call the Leprechauns Treasure hunt.
@@firechicken455adventures that’s really awesome! Thanks for checking it out!
Thank you for accepting face value for those coins. This gives us treasure hunters a chance to find something else valuable!
@@Mark-8587 if it provides a change of life for someone, I’m all for it.
I hope you pulled all the silver and copper out
@@conspiracystacker I did pull and look for some but I am sure I missed some.
Most people dont know that 1964 and below is 90% silver.
@@josefsmith3140 I just learned not too long ago about that.
Wondering how many rare coins are now in that coin machine I would bet he had old coins worth more then the money he got
We pulled a few but out of 14,000 coins, we may of missed some.
Those coinstar machines are awesome. I threw all my spare change in a jar everyday for a month then I would cash it in. Always had around 125$. It adds up. You never miss it.
It’s kinda cool to cash in. It seems to take longer to collect change now with debit cards. I collected about 75% of the change over the 1st 10 year period.
I cashed in one time and bought a round trip ticket from Philly to Frankfert Germany to surprise my daughter in the ARMY. VERY GOOD TRIP!!
That’s a pretty cool story. I told my daughter we’d used the funds for an overnight backpacking trip in Northern California. Thanks for your story and checking out the video.
@@thehikingpaisano6109 $1500 for overnight camping trip.
Wow
That's a glamourous no expense spared one night experience.
Great Cash Out 🎉
We had fun we cashing them in.
I remember that Treasure Chest!
@@buddhagem goes way back to a time where our joints didn’t ache!!! Lololol good memories from the treasure box!
Those coin star machines charge a good amount for using them!! Didn't know if they showed how much they took out for all that change!! If you figure that he saved up that change for 20 years and he got 1500 dollars for it , that's not even 100 dollars a year!! Plus some of those coins were probably worth more than face value!!
dimes, quarters, half dollars made from 1964 and before are 90% silver. the coin is about 20x its face value. half dollars made from 1965-1970 are 40% silver. Nickels from 1942-1945 are made with 35% silver
I didn’t know that. That’s great info. Thanks!
@@thehikingpaisano6109 He still won't find that many rare coins unless they are error coins. I have checked my coins ever since I was about twelve. In the last twenty years I have gotten only about 2 dollars in wheat pennies and very few silver dimes, quarters and Kennedy halves. I think maybe 10 dimes 4 or five quarters and two 1964 Kennedy halves. You could get lucky. So good luck and good hunting.
@@markdavis5229 I’m sure something was missed but if someone finds it and it helps them, I am stoked for them.
@@markdavis5229 I worked in a bank and would be on the lookout for coins. Silver makes a distinct sound when the coin is dropped on the counter.
Great job❤❤🎉🎉
Thank you!!! It was fun!!!
The coin star machines reject silver quarters (different weight) like the 1959 shown at the end. A silver quarter today
is worth a little over 5 bucks. I found a gold 20 franc value $400 dollars about a month ago in the reject bin at my local
Albertson's. All of our pre 1965 dimes, quarters, and half dollars contain 90% silver content in them for reference.
That’s good to know. I had no idea. That’s awesome you found that Franc in the bin, that is quite the find. Thanks for the info!
@@thehikingpaisano6109 You are very welcome. I do usually find silver dimes but
the gold was certainly a welcome surprise.
That’s winning!!!
Where do I find Coin Star machines?
@@ringo7561 I went to my credit union and they let me use it for free. They charge non members 15 percent. Ouch. Your financial institution may have a branch where they’ll let you use it to sort change???
Nice amount
@@johncameron4194 thanks. I underestimated. I guessed around $500. Thanks for checking it out.
Nice work dude!
@@taekwoncat9803 it was fun to do.
I like the gold dollars. 👍
@@JoshGould-xe4dz I didn’t know I had them until my daughter sorted them out.
@@thehikingpaisano6109 I'd keep it. I have some myself 👍
I pulled all the copper pennies out first then ended up with 2700. About the same amount of time saved.
That’s solid. What year did they stop making the penny out of copper??
1982
They aren't actually ALL copper. They are only 90% copper. Still, worth 2.5 cents apiece! @thehikingpaisano6109
@@martinfurlong1071 I didn’t know that. That’s good info! Thank you!
It was more than that because coinstar takes their percentage out. Wonder what the net was.
The credit union I belong to owns the machine so there was no charge. It is 15 percent for non members though. Pretty steep.
Coinstar made more money then you did...thanks for collecting it.
@@therealblt lolololololol credit union owns it.
Hi Mr DiBella
Hello!!!!’
Bro you could of bought a nice counter for the money that machine skimmed off the top!
@@M-mj8bd lolololol you may be right!
Hi mr dibella
Hello!!!
15% for non-members!
How much is a membership?
I’m always surprised at how many quarters are in these treasure chests of coins!
@@StarshipTrooper2050 no cost to join , you only need to have a checking account with them.
Their metal is worth a lot more than their face value
Please tell me you put aside and saved all the silver dimes/quarters (1964 or earlier)!
@@JohnSmith-zw8vp all the ones that we came across!!!
I know how your daughter's ring got in there. It slipped off her finger while she was robbing you blind. I don't know any friend growing up or cousins that had parents saving change where they did not grab a handful here or there. Up here in Canada I've had upwards of $200,000 worth of change but we have toonies and loonies to get it up there really quick.
My daughter was always in the treasure chest sorting and pulling coins that she researched and found out they had more than face value. She started doing that at around six years of age and kept doing it until I cashed it in. She’s 12 now. That’s a lot of change you are accumulating!!!
21 years? I could've separate them individually and frame them and sell them to the coin gallery or something
@okamijubei lolololol but you didn’t. Once the debit card came around, the change to the chest slowed significantly. Most of that was accumulated over the first 10 years.
Change??? I collected more than that in a year😊
Look for silver
He probably looked for silver as he added coins to the chest.
My daughter likes to sort through the coins looking for extra value. I was happy she liked the sorting.
$750, legit guess.
@@dang6832 you were closer than my guess.
Did you look thru it special coins.
@@jamesmurray8558 I pulled a few(my daughter did) but with over 14k coins I’m sure we missed a few. Maybe it’ll be a benefit to someone. Thanks for checking our video out.
some of those old coins could worth more than their face value. Should of gone to a coin collector and see if there are any gems.
My daughter went through it and pulled some stuff. She likes coins. But with over 14,000 coins in there something may of slipped through.
Don’t those counters charge you 10% ? Why would you pay over $150 to have it counted?
It was free for credit union members. A 15% charge for non members. So that was nice. That was the whole reason I went there. It’s been full for a while but didn’t want to take the.service hit.
do you trust those things? i never did
@@ToddyTornado I am cautious of them.
How many silver coins in there?
@@amihan99 we pulled out about 10. May of missed a few.
I have a ton of coins too...maybe 10 grand worth...i know i have valuable ones but im not going to go through each one.
@@ringo7561 that’s where I kinda stood on the matter but my young daughter loves coins and sorted through quite a bit of it and pulled some coins out. I am sure a couple got through but if it helps someone that needed it, I’m good with that.
@thehikingpaisano6109 Thanks, I thought I read in comments Coin Star spits out silver....is that true?
@@ringo7561 I had a quarter in the chest I ran through a few times that kept getting spit out and someone commented it was silver when he noticed the date on it. So it may????
MY GUESS... $5,662 I WAS WAY OVER
I was way under! So if we’re playing by the rules”Price is Right” rules, you’d be the winner. Thanks for checking it out.
@@thehikingpaisano6109 By The Price is Right rules - If you go over, you lose.
Do you understand how much 90% silver you cashed in for cents?
Not as much as you are implying lolololol
How much did coin star get ?
@@waynek3366 a little over $1,550.
@@thehikingpaisano6109
Wow that's good money for coin star just for giving people the convenience for cashing in their coins with out rolling them.
Congratulations .
Please,don’t get short changed!!!!
I am sure some stuff slipped through when there was 14k plus total coins. I wonder about the accuracy of the machine. I think overall though, the machine is pretty accurate.
WOW!!!!!
That 1959 is silver.
@@jamesmurray8558 the machine didn’t want that one. Tried a couple of times and decided it was trying to tell me something.
You should've did some research on coins because some of them could've been rare ones made with errors that are worth hundreds, thousands hell even millions.
@@mrwalker293 my daughter did some and we pulled some out. There were a lot of coins though so we may have may have missed something.
@@thehikingpaisano6109 oh ok I was hoping you did. That was a smart idea.
@@mrwalker293 but who knows?? There were over 14,000 coins so…. Maybe we missed one. I’ll pretend we didn’t lololol thanks for watching!
This is exactly why I never waste my pennies, any time I find a coin or copper, I pick it up and take it home. I once made £50 in coppers alone when I hoovered up all the discarded 1p and 2p coins thrown on the ground! Yeah people too the piss but if you look after the pennies, the pounds will look after themselves!
It does add up! Thanks for watching!!
@thehikingpaisano6109 No problem, I'll tell you a story. I once paid for a £129.99 paper shredder in mainly coppers. It was during the recession and I was the only customer, it took 3 members of staff 10 minutes to count out my hoard of pennies. They just got on and accepted it, it's legal currency anyway and I paid fair and square!!!!
@@thehikingpaisano6109 it's good to see another young man who likes his shrapnel. Many people simply discard their change. I don't understand why.
@@ronaldmcdonald8303 that’s a great story! I told my daughter it would go towards our trip fund!
@@ronaldmcdonald8303 it adds up. I noticed that as debit cards started dominating the payment landscape, I had less and less change. I think I’ll start keeping more cash on hand for transactions.
You didn't search for silver and rarities first? Sad, you lost a lot of money.
@@DonnyHooterHoot my daughter sorted through. I pulled some stuff out so not sad at all.
$4.20
Loloololololol
It took you 21 years to get that. I collect that much in a year.
Good job.
Not as much change collected in the day of the debit card.
True lol credit cards are even better @thehikingpaisano6109
229
My guess wasn’t even close! Our daughter had the closest guess of the family.
Hello 🫶🫶🫶❤❤❤❤
Never trust those machines. You probably lost a few hundred.
@@christophermaldonado1898 lololol I hope not
You lost out out on so much...there had to be so much silver coins in there worth a bunch
@@karensirko6738 there was some that we found.
no silver in circulation the last 21 years.
Extremely unusual find. always some odd pieces.
@@tedlahm5740 we didn’t find a whole lot. Maybe missed some. There was over 14,000 coins I believe.
2800
@@user-wu5dm3cq6z your guess was closer than mine!
You cashed in pre1964 quarters for face value??? Yikes
