Hi all,

Regarding "Coinstar rejects", is the philosophy "finders keepers" or
leave them alone?

Thanks,

Mike

As long as you aren't pushing the user out of the road while the machine
is counting, I say 'finders keepers' (and then let my son get them).

Same as sticking your finger in the coin return or a pay phone or Coke
machine. Finders keepers. Now, if the person is still there, you might
feel morally obligated to tell him that there are coins there for him.

Or not.

Whose philosophy are you talking about? Are you looking for this group
to make a moral and ethical decision about how people should lead their
lives?

I agree. Coins left in the reject slot, or in the change door of a
phone or vending machine are no different than coins left on the
sidewalk or parking lot. They are 'abandoned property' and subject to
the laws of salvage. ;-)

Unless it's they who owe you a nickel, right.

I'm actually much better at paying my debts than collecting them. ;-)
But if I win an eBay auction for a 1913-S Buffalo and I don't get my
nickel...all bets are off!
