Many rolls of coins that have old bank rappers bring a premium price just because of the rapper. ie Wells Fargo. There is a market for anything.

Hockingzig, thanks a lot for telling us that story about the womens bank. Very interesting news and womens history there. Nice  This thread has me wanting to pay attention to any older looking coins wrappers I get now too. And wow, yet another whole area from coins to branch off in and hang onto or pass on to anyone who collects them. So much history yet to anticipate finding out about through coins interest!

Carl, God Bless her, my wife loved Beanie babies and I have a closet full of them. LOL! Make an offer and they're on their way! They might still be "In" in Chi-town, however, I doubt it. LOL even harder.
And no I couldn't talk her out of them. When they look at you with those big, sultry, puppy dog eyes.....enough said.

Quote: For example,did you know that during the days of the Womens sufferage movement there was a bank in Cleveland Ohio established by a group of women to make loans available to women because many banks,at that time would only lend to men? That is the kind of stuff I am finding as I search the history of bank rolls. Before he became famous as a civil war general, Sherman went to California (SF?) and opened a bank. Relatives tried to talk him into returning to Ahia to run the family business, salt mines in Athens.

In addition to banks that get eaten up by megabanks, I can think of wrappers that will only become scarcer over time.
First, the $20 wrappers for the large size dollars. Since they haven't been made since 1978, they're not many floating around.
Another one that's even rarer is the $20 wrapper for modern dollars. When they first came out, some maufacturers figured they'd be 50 twenty coin rolls to the bag, but for some unknown reason, 25 coins became the standard.
Next would be half dollar wrappers. Nuff said.
I've also seen half-roll wrappers of cents and I think nickels.
Then there are the Canadian wrappers that are just sheets of paper. When you wrap coins in them, different denominations allow different printing to show up through die cut holes, so only one kind of wrapper is needed.
How about security wrappers? I've seen snap together clear plastic ones, and my favorite, paper with a clear stripe along the length. No way to slip in slugs.
