Roll Searching Question?

If you re-roll the copper cents as you go it doesn't take that long. I roll all of the coppers after I go thru a $25 box. I use a coin tube but I don't trust it to count so I also weigh the whole tube full of pennies on my gram scale to verify the count. Once they are rolled I store thm in another $25 boxarked "Copper"

Are you hand sorting or using a Rydale?

You should also separate your 1982's into the 2 groups. It just takes a few seconds to distinguish the 1982 coppers from zincs. They actually taste quite a bit different from each other. The copper ones have a metallic taste while the zinc ones don't really taste like anything. I've gotten to the point where I can put a handful in my mouth and separate them that way. Give it a try.

Uh.......that's kinda gross

Trust me, I've seen those pennies on the floor....in the bathroom.....under the urinalAnd In the urinals .

Different Metal content of coins can often be heard by the tone when dropped .As a matter of fact to protect the coin and my self I wear gloves when handling coins .

Happens a lot. Someone asks a question and it gets lost. Meanwhile back to the original question. What to do with all the coins. Simple. Go to any bank and ask for a coin bag. They are heavy canvas material. Put all your coins in that bag and take them all to the bank. Ask for the bag back for the next time. First ask if there is a charge for just taking in coins. If so, ask what is the smallest amount to open an account. Then open an account and now when you bring in your coins, just have them put into your account. If you need the money, just wait a few hours and go back and withdraw it or have them give you an ATM card and use that to withdraw your money. Always leave some in the account for future deposits.

Also, it may not be clear though if you want to save them instead of taking to a bank. Why waste time rolling them. Leave in anything that is air tight. Even a jar is better than a bucket. However, if no valuable ones, I still think the bank is the best place.

fiddler, I thought of doing that but I don't think I am ready to loose more than 8% of my money in one of those newfangled devices. Does anyone know if banks do that service for free? I heard of a credit union in my area that does, but they wouldn't let me join because I live in a different county.

PP hope you don't mind if I re-post this .Since I am 16 I do not have to pay living expenses so any money I get I am free to spend it on coins! One week I might buy a slabbed coin for $80. and the next week a few silver bullion coins or some Wheaties for $15. After I bought my prized 1793 Half Cent at the 08 coin show in Orlando I didn't buy coins for several weeks! Often I will sell coins for a little extra scratch. -PP

Because of your age you may have limits of what you can at a bank with some of the advice you have been given without your parents help .Is this a factor?
