Yes I have a whole bag full with the 4 different colours, don't use them as mush now.
Like it was stated already you have to be carful when opening them with coins inside.

Boy, I sure remember those... a real pain to open a full roll, or to stuff the last few coins into a roll when it was almost full... I remember the pink for pennies, white for nickels, yellow for dimes, and blue for quarters colour scheme myself... thanks for bringing back a blast from the past!  |

it's been mentioned a few times about putting pennies in them. You'll all hate me but I was one of those young teens that the odd time out of boredom I'd get out the brasso and clean a bunch of pennies up and put them into those containers. I remember now the pain it was taking them out, turning it upside down and facing them on my bed and giving it a shake,the pennies would go all over, ya what a pain lol.

I got some of the pennies and nickel ones. Pink and white, the things are just cool. They don't break down like paper rolls and the coins don't get stuck in them like in the plastic ones you see today, not only that but there divided into groups of 4 so you can count them while there inside the roll. If I could get more of those things I would. Makes me think about starting a coin supplies collection.  |

I like the little divider every 5 cents in the 2nd from bottom photo.
That design is likely in response to people fitting in more than 50
pennies into the C shaped pincher open design. Kind of a clunky clasp
as compared to the original design. Patent Pending in 1980.
Nice for collectors. Great for organizing.

I mentioned earlier about rolling pennies for my folks, I remember now I had stopped in at the bank to get the rollers and the teller set them on the counter for me to take with an elastic band on them. Now could you imagine the thoughts that went flailing through my head at that moment, PINK and I'm about 15. I asked for a paper bag and they had one lol. It's cool how the simplest things can sometimes bring back some funny memories.
