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?
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.
