Just curious... for those who are using Ryedales or other Comparitor-based devices, how do they handle pennies that are corroded, painted, badly scratched, or otherwise scuzzy? They seem to make up 15-20% of the coins i'm seeing in my customer rolls (i got one that had 12 coins stuck together with..... i didn't even wanna know what ). i assume they just go in the "no match" chute?
And is it common to have that many nasty coins? i wonder if it's worse because i'm near the coast...
Considering Verizon Business service? Perhaps you'd like to consider a nice drain cleaner enema instead?
In my experience the scuzzy/corroded coins don't jam very much.
It's the bent coins and the sticky coins that are the problem.
Also if they are caked with dirt they will jam.
I've taken the side panel off of my Ryedale and run it with the front cover off.
This makes it easier to spot jams as they happen, and it encourages me to clean the hopper/feeder more often than I would if I had to unscrew and screw the panel every time.
Keeping the hopper/feeder clean is key to keeping the pennies spitting out of it fast enough not to double up in the chute and jam in the top of the discriminator.
Also, bank rolled pennies seem less likely to jam than customer wrapped pennies, I guess because they have already been through a sorter/roller which itself jams on the bent/sticky pennies and so the bank or coin wrap company removes them.

Something for all Ryedale owners to remember! Keep your machine clean!
