see the thing is if I'm searching for silver or pre 1959s I dump out the roll pull what I like and from a pile of spare nickels I have il replace the once I took and roll it back up. So even if the roll is short its not my loss I just give it right back to the bank never count to see if its short

Bought 200.00 worth of quarters last week and noticed it was pretty easy for someone to put a 2007 nickel for a quarter place. If you wern't searching ot would be easy to sneak by.

I prefer the customer rolls, and have noticed a lot more canadian in them now (2 hrs south of the border) then before. a few other foreigns too. panamas dimes and halfs are the same thing as ours, philippine dimes too, cant forget the bahamas change as well. as for being short, its just been in the penny rolls. I find nickel rolls up a nickel or two  |

Happens all the time up here in Canada.Example:Found 4 dimes short in the first 2 rolls I opened + I will often pull out foreign coins just to fill the rolls. So my response. TOO OFTEN !

I usually get all customer rolls and I get lots of Canadians, washers, plastic spacers, and toy money :(

Guess I wouldn't know if it did happen. I just dump a bunch of rolls out at one time. Sort them and the ones I don't want go to a plastic container which I dump off in a CoinStar machine. Feel sure my loss at the CoinStar machine is greater than short rolls. Did win the bid on a roll of 1939 wheat cents. Picture showed a roll with 1939 wrote on it. It was short 2.

This happens to me constantly!
I also enjoy getting customer rolls occasionally, for the same reason that nickelsearcher does. But lately, instead of just replacing what I find from a replacement pile and shoving the coins back into the wrapper for a trip to the dump bank, I have found myself having to count the roll. I have had similar results as some of you above; dimes here and there, occasional cents, and way more short rolls than there should be!

I always considered "short" rolls to be part
of the cost of roll searching. I do return
the rolls full.

 I usually run my nickels through a CoinStar. But on occasion I exchange a box for a fresh box. And I always reroll halves. I don't want a bank to refuse my coin because I shorted them. I try to pay more attention to the customer wrapped rolls when I pick them up to see if any look short. I have saved myself some aggravation that way. |

Now you understand why banks don't like customer rolled coins, or want account numbers on alll the rolls, or won't credit accounts until the coins have been counted, and/or take in the rolls but don't give them out etc. They get stuck with the short rolls as well.

Went through about 40 rolls of Lincoln cents this week and found at least one Canadian cent in each one. Even the ones that the bank told me came from the Feds.Does the counters and rollers at the Fed. banks not kick the Canadian cents out?

There's no reason to reject Canadian cents; no matter what the exchange rate, US and Canadian cents are always interchangeable.
I'm glad, because Canadian small cents are all I collect, and it's easy to find them in circulation.

I too pick up customer rolls for the same reason as the others. Twice now I have received solid rolls of 64 Kennedys. After selling these on ebay I figure I have made enough to cover shortages for a LOOOONNNGGG time. |

It happens from time to time. In some instances I have found rolls that were over stuffed! And I enjoy finding Canadian coins!
