when ever i walk passed a public phone or newspaper stand or any other object that might possibly give back coins, i have to peek inside and see if there are any coins. my gramma taught me that when i was just a little kid. i've gotten a lot of change by doing that! so ... do you do it too?
OH.. P.S. ALWAYS LOOK and i mean always look before you stick your hand in there... people put gross stuff in there and you don't wanna risk it! ta ta !

We no longer have public phones here. Cell phones have become so popular. I think you should enjoy it while it lasts and it is noce, it reminds you of your grandmother.

I have a confession...when I was a kid I used to get a piece of paper and scrunch it up and shove it up the hole that the rejected coins come out of....I would come back later and often find some money that had been trapped behind...and talking about yukky surprises, once I stuck my fingers into someones gob that they had spat in the tray while trying to retrieve coins.

I can't say that I've ever been one to explore the return slot in coin machines---but---I have been known to look under the cushions of sofas situated in public areas like hotel lobbys
I have found significant cash doing this !!! Once about nine years back-- at a Hilton in Dallas -- I found a roll of bills totalling almost three haundred dollars !!!

I did when I was younger, but not anymore due to the fact that people are putting HIV infected needles in there and if you put your finger in you get pricked. People are so sick now a days you have to be careful. Its a shame how society is now. Oh well it was fun when I was younger.

I do that too. I found money a few times doing it. It is something to pass the time. Nothing wrong with it.

I don't do that but the owner of my company does and he's a smart guy and he has lots of money so maybe I should start.

I usually do it if I’m going to buy something or use the phone.
