Reminder when scrapping dryers

The older (80s and 90s) Whirlpool\Kenmore dryers with the small kick plate at the bottom below the door score the best for coins. I call them "piggy bank" dryers. You can get to the coins easily even if you dont plan on breaking down the whole dryer. Just pry the top of the kick plate loose by sliding a putty knife or flat screwdriver along the top of the plate. This will release the top and the plate will "hinge" down out of the way.
My 4 year old loves digging the coins out of these types of dryers.
I fixed appliances for a thrift store many years ago. We used to go out in the "bone yard" and collect coins. I remember I got like $67 in three hours one time doing it.

ah that is interesting i didnt know that not that mine is from the 80's not sure what year it is ill have to see.
