In reality, it is my belief that the mint wants us to hoard coins. The more that we keep from circulation, the more they have to make to replace them. That keeps their number up. Otherwise, why would we need to be replacing millions upon millions of coins every year. Since 1968 (first non-silver coins) there has been no other reason for coins to be removed from circulation. If you do find a 1968 in your change, it will be in good enough shape to keep in circulation.

Kind of adds new meaning to the phrase "cup protection".

It's a 125% markup to have a special roll, it's not too much to expect the reverse to be exposed on at least one end. I ordered 50 rolls and I'll send back any that are obverse on both ends.

Now, lest we fall pray to the gambler's fallacy, it is unlikely that obverse and reverse are anything other than randomly distributed. But what if the mint's vendors had choice? I wonder about this as the numerous rolls I already have seem skewed towards double trophy or double head, in that order, then, lastly obverse/reverse like it should (ideally) be. To the tune of 1 in 7 or so. I have double down on this to see what the next batch looks like. Will post if seems to be interest. And yes, I am counting on being able to return rejects.

Like all rolls out of Winnipeg, they are random packed.

Understandable when a roll a quarters sells for $10, but for $22.95 it's ok to demand more.

in 2018 the circulation coin rolls will have a special ''Y'' design, with 3 ends, but they will cost several hundred bucks.

My regular wrap roll shows the reverse on both ends.

The 5 cent special wrap roll from the $184.95 set shows the obverse at both ends. Will send that back.

I just received my 'set' of special rolls for Canada 150. 3 of the five have queens both sides. At more than double the face value, I am not impressed.

Out of 6 special rolls, 4 are not showing me what is special (including Stanley cup Quarters). I have requested a return authorization from my rep.

I can see this being expensive for RCM, I can't see anyone accepting the rolls without the Stanley Cup being exposed and if it's random that's 25% of the rolls.

i am sorry but this is whining to the extreme..you buy a roll , who cares if the inner coins are facing out...they are coin rolls.. they are made by machine, they are the coin rolls you purchased, suck it up. there was no mistake by the mint,, they didn't promise you a coin would face a certain way..the roll is hockey coins... why drag this out..i can't believe there is so many people upset about this...you got what you paid for..let it go...

I didn't buy the rolls but I understand where buyers are coming from. At more than twice the face value, it's not asking too much to ensure at least one coin shows the special design.
If you are upset you got a double queen roll, send it back. If enough people send them back, perhaps the RCM will change the manufacturing process to allow each side of the coin to be displayed in the future.
