Since 2012, I've ordered one extra "S" roll (of my favorite design that year) to open and cherry-pick. I spend the bag-marked and planchet-rinsed cosmetically-impaired culls.

So, last month, I spent seven cull Saratoga-S Quarters in the Denver area. I also get a roll of "P" Native American dollars every year to search. I culled ten of the 25 Code Talkers roll, and I've spent six so far at the car wash (2), parking meters (2) and charity donation (2).

(I do wonder if anyone 'found' any of the nine 2012-S Hawaii Quarters I spent that year...

The bags and rolls are still cheaper than purchasing individual coins on the secondary market.
My opened Saratoga roll had 33 collectible-condition coins and 7 culls.
$18.95 - $1.75 culls spent @ face = $17.10 for 33 good individual coins, or 52 cents a piece.
Individual "S" ATB's usually sell for at least $1 at dealers, so in that respect, I'm still 48¢ ahead each.
