Reminds me of the dryer, friends in Dallas.Had from around nineteen sixty to nineteen sixty three
The 2 Maytag HOH’s and early 60’s Whirlpool dryer I have didn’t have a single cent in them. The one piece drum of some models doesn’t allow them to eat change very easily, if at all.
You’ll known when a Maytag HOH (at least the electric versions) since it’ll pop the breaker when coins and metal objects fall onto the heating element. People were probably were mindful when that happened, or knew of people who had that happen before.

Great haul Christopher, a lot of older dryers were prone to getting change and other objects in them.
Maytag halo of heat dryers were one of the ones that you found the most change and I found over $10 and change in an electric halo heat dryer that I was changing a heating element in.
It’s very unlikely that coins hitting the heating element in a halo of heat dryer will cause the circuit breaker to trip because the coin is grounding out the element near the middle of it.
The halo of heat design was an extremely bad design. The heating element should not have been at the bottom of the opening at all. It should’ve circled back and over the top again, the other thing they should’ve done is used a Calrod elements if they wanted to use a crazy design like that. Needless to say it could never be sold today.
