how does it pick up money magnetically when coins aren't magnetic?

I've never tried to pick up coins with it, but it's good for other small metal things such as paper clips, pins, etc.

No I am sorry, I don't think coins outside the US work on this. Unless the same size account for the same amount. For instance, a US "dime" is very small but is worth more than a penny ... you see? Foreign coins can be saved in the bank, but the "amount" would probably be incorrect.

I have only used it on American money. When foreign coins are put in it, it gets stuck.

We have never used real money. It comes with several plastic coins. We leave the "coin trap door" open on the bottom of the machine and just use these same plastic coins over and over!

I owned this a while ago and not sure if it take real coins, it came with plastic one. To be honest it was not made very well and the claw's plastic chain kept getting tangled. Hope that helps.

Hi. Actually there is no magnet. If fact nothing holds it closed. It is just basically a wallet with a plastic holder for the phone. I can carry my cash and cards.

On the bottom of the machine located beneath where the controls are, there is a slip cover. Remove the cover, then the coins will be there.

Not impossible, but you have to actually stick your fingers in the pull it out. The small slot on the opposite side works perfectly for pushing cards out, but it has no effect on money, which simply folds when pushed.

Not from my experience the flip tends to hold the coin in place. The two sides kind of stick together and you have to pry it open to insert the coin in the first instance.

There is a screw at the top of the inside jar that releases the entire machine from the bottom plate. Once you unscrew it you can separate it from the bottom plate and the coins will fall out.

Yes it works very good. Just make sure you have good stable wrappers that don't bend at the top when the coins drop.

Yes and no. I tried putting paper wraps into each of the plastic coin holders, but the coins flip out. I let the money sort into the plastic holders, then slipped a paper wrap inside the coin holders, twisted the wrap around until it was at the bottom of the holder, then turned the coin holder upside down. the paper wrap came out with the coins inside. Sounds complicated but after a try or two worked well for me.

you can use manually add money. If you need to manually press "minus" when you take a few coins out

normal magnets won't do anything to the strip, you would need a fairly strong magnet. there's an episode of mythbusters where they tried to wipe data using magnets, they had to use a high powered one extracted from a hard drive to wipe it. even if you do hold a credit card to a hard drive, it's magnetically shielded.

Yes. Works great on carpets. The magnet doesn't work on nickels or pennies. Works great on paper clips, needles, bread wrapper ties, etc. Works great on flat things if you can get under an edge. Push a plastic lid up against your shoe & get it to flip up. You can get under it. Paper & paper money, pinch it or push it so it bunches up enough to grab. Coins are small enough to fit between the jaws- one on one side of the coin and one directly opposite while it's flat on the floor.

The coins fall into a removable plastic tube and once it's full you take your roll (the folded ones you get free from the bank work fine) and slip it into the tube around the coins. Fold the ends and pack them down and replace the empty plastic tube and your ready for more.

No, on the map, you just pry the cardboard circles out and the coins fit in. You have to fidget with them a little bit, but they fit in nicely. Hope this helps
