I was wondering what's the most money, coins that is, you ever got out of a dryer? I took one apart this week and got a couple of dozen coins totaling up to $2.10.

Well, Not a dryer but probably worth the share. I busted open a old vending machine and got over $26 in change out of it, and I only had to pay $5 for it
Over $20.00 in paper money and some change. It was my dryer that I dismantled so really I just got my money back. Mike

$17.00 from a dryer, laundramats at one time preferred speed queen washing machines because loose coins would collect under the agitater.

I think my best was around 15.00. I just got one last week that was rattling so much I wanted to open it like an Xmas present. 8 and change. about double what I got for it as shred.

Was offered a dryer out of an apartment building. Said yeah sure put it over there. Left it for a couple days and then was going to tear it apart. Had one of those coin slots in it and I heard some noise. broke it down and got a total of $76 worth of quarters. I knew the guy pretty well so I told him what I found. He said good deal, you take half and I'll take half. Sure was better than the price of scrap.

Good move. That's how you get him to call you for a scrap pickup in the future. A little bit goes a long way..

Years ago when I worked in a scrap yard, a guy brought in 10 commercial dryers, he got about $125 for them, after he left we busted them open and found over $150 in quarters, he came back later in the day and saw we had busted them open, "I have the keys" he said, but he never bothered to check.
