What keeps the dimes (thinner and smaller diameter) from going out the quarter slot?

they should be out of the cycle before the quarter slot.

I didn't appreciate the outer track (starting about 9 o'clock) that routes the coins past the slots, with the first separation point at about 6 o'clock. I was thinking that the coins could enter the final track anywhere around the circle.

It is a good thing I do not have one of those. I would have to keep a 5 gallon bucket of random coins around just so I could watch it work when I get bored.

Seriously though, where do the odd ball coins and non-coin items that may be in the mix go?

I once had a 5 gallon water jug (plastic) full of only nickles,dimes. and quarters. It weighted 168 pounds! Total was $2400.00.
It was a good thing my bank had a counter!

I It weighted 168 pounds! Total was $2400.00.

If it was precisely $2400.00, that is way cool. If it was "somewhere around" $2400,00, that is impressive but NOT way cool.

168 / $2400 ≈ 14.28. , At the supermarket or butcher, porterhouse steak usually sells for around $14 per pound. Just FYI

I don't know the exact amount, but it was over $2400.00. I do know that a glass 5gal jug will hold $300.00 in pennies alone, and you don't want to try and move it! 30,000 pennies mixed with glass, not fun

168 / $2400 = 0.07 and the units are very weird - inverse dollars
