How Many Are Into Coin Roll Hunting?

On Monday I managed to scrounge $640 in halves from various banks and found a '64 and 7 40%'s. Today I picked up $70 in nickels and found a '44-P & a '45-P. This is the first time I have found more than 1 War Nickel at once in a long time. Tomorrow I plan on scouring all the banks (30+) in my area for halves in hopes of striking SILVER!

As I was returning my pennies to my bank's free coin counter, I filled the bag, so they had to come change it. As they pulled out the machine to change the bag, I see the bag of halves hanging there about half full. I didn't ask if I could root through it, as that would have been weird, but man, I wanted to.

Looking back I guess the worst that they could have said was 'no' but there was someone waiting behind me, so I thought that would be rude.

Got a box of dimes today and went through it in about an hour. Found FOUR! My second best box ever. '59-D, '62-D, '64, & '64-D.

Whats the most amount of money you guys have spent on rolls in 1 day? So far I have only got a box of Quarters ($500).

After I get my Coin Counter Machine after X-mas, I was planing on getting $3000 (6 boxes) in Quarters from 4 or 5 banks. Just for fun, I want to see what its like to search through $15,000 in quarters in a week.

I haven't CRH'ed in a few months. Life just got in the way recently. I still have a load of 1/2 from my last hunt. Not sure if anyone else does this, but I like to go to the local convenience store and pay with halves only. I like to watch the reaction I get. I've seen some cashier put the halves off to the side. I assume they'll be pocketing them later.

I got $100 in fresh $2 bills from my local bank. They rarely have more than a few sitting around. I was pleasantly surprised when the teller asked me if I wanted all $300 she had in her drawer straight from the Fed.

The other night while Xmas shopping, I picked up a few things. I paid all in $2s. The cashier, who was a foreigner actually took out one of those markers they use to check for forgeries. I was literally in tears laffing so hard. My gf just rolled her eyes. :)

And, today, I went to a liquor store to buy a case of beer. I handed over 2 $2s with a couple other bills. The cashier told me to hold on. He ran over to his manager and asked if he could take them. The manager actually called him an and to take them "they are US currency, idiot!" I laughed all the way home!

A cashier in a computer store was suspicious of my Presidential dollar and called the manager.

Then again, this month I've received 1909 and 1939 Cents in my change from retail transactions (and a '64-D Dime last month), so it does work to your benefit if they "don't recognize anything unusual" when they're handing you change.

found this in my last box of 2008
44 wheaties including
1926
1935
and 1937

and about 10 can pennies!

the year of 2008 ive found 682 wheaties/359 canadians and 409 s mints(68-74) not too bad eh?

Archraz-- I have been told on numerous occasions but have not verified it "officially" that it is a Federal offense to refuse any legitimate US currency in a retail transaction. If that is 100% true, I would love to be in a situation where someone made a fuss about me passing legit $2 bills or dollar coins. Let them call the police. I would file a complaint against that cashier and the manager. I think my complaint would stick and theirs wouldn't. :)
