Hope you find amazing stuff!
Edit: don't forget to look for variety and error coins, 2009s, westward journey, etc. There are cool things in the later vintages.

I am doing Canadian Nickels so the 2009's are not going to be a thing for me but I think I will seperate the coins out into years, and look for varieties that I can find online and see if I come up with anything. Otherwise I will blow through these and where is the fun in that right?

I was going to add, I would pass on them right at the teller. The American don't understand roll hunting in Canada. If you get those Gardaworld wraps, or the sulifane style wraps these hold nothing older than 2001 they have all been put through a machine and all the older coins have been sent off to the smelting pot.
our government is the biggest roll hunter, and the older coins are harder and harder to find.

are the Gardaworld ones the ones that look like they are vacuum sealed in a plastic wrap with the ends open? I have been finding tellers to be super hostile to wanting to get older wrapers or anything that has a paper or the old plastic folder over holders.
I never understood the hostility. I am pleasant, I am giving you a break from having to deal with angry client who want a ton of complicated transactions done. I would expect a refreshing "Its you! My favorite!" but no, I get hated on lol.

Sorry for the confusion. I should have noted where you are from. It's a shame that roll hunting is so bad north of the border.

Oftentimes you can see the dates on some of the enders... that's how I make my determination.
As for your issues with the tellers, some banks (and tellers within said banks) just don't like to deal with coins for whatever reason. I've run into a few of those banks down here - I just try to avoid them completely.
CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

Arvan, the one you mention are what I call plastic wrap rolls from the mint, these are normally current year issue, and all the same, so if you are looking for older coins, I pass on these.
the gardaworld, or brinks or other coin shipping company use the white wrappers with the color coded ends, nickles are blue, dimes green, and quarters are orange.
these will be a mix of dates from 2001 and newer.

Since 2001 the Canadian government has been removing any coins produced before 2001, the 1 dollar and 2 dollar coins before 2012 and replacing them with multiply-plated steel.

Thanks for the info Ace. Muchly appreciated. Next time I will ask for something better. What do you ask for? Customer rolled rolls? I don't want to be a pain in the butt but I only go to the teller to get coins with no other business so I can't just casually ask if they have some customer rolled coins laying around. Any thoughts?

To try to avoid some of the embarrassment of asking for coin rolls at the bank, I always find myself lying and telling the bank teller that the coin rolls are for my kids. I don't have kids. Hahaha. Regardless, I find its always a little embarrassing.

Haha JBU! That is a great idea. I have started to bring my two year old in with me and it helps to defuse the situation :P
Ace, I will send you a PM :)

Kids do make certain things less embarrassing.  |
