Burned on a box of quarters this week. They were wrapped in the plastic sausage tubes, which made me wonder. Only had 2001p to 2011 coins in it except the 10 pence which stretched the wrapper. A couple nice coloured men's and women's hockey coins was it.

Cool, wolfman-11! I have one exactly like that from helping my school's office sort their loose change and roll them up. Along with a 5p, 20p, and a couple of pennies. When I found it, I asked, "What currency is this and how did it get here?" Edited by Altaira

Picked up 40 rolls at the bank today. Older Canadian finds were: 1941(2), 1950, 1952(2), 1955, 1957(2), 1958. Also found 3 wheat cents, 3 British One Pennies, a 2 Euro cent and they gave me a 1991 Polish 2 Grosze at the bank.

I guess it's you have a good deal with the tellers then. I have had an account with RBC for 30 years and when I ask for pennies, they say "we can't let them go" an give me an uncomfortable look as though I am asking them to sell me drugs or something. Then I go to a Caisse populaire and the girls there save them for me because they don't want to pack them up.
Does anyone know if the government implemented a ruling that banks are not supposed to let the pennies back out?

Burned on a box of nickels this week. Two pre 1982 nickels in the box, about a half dozen US nickles nothing special, and a 2000p and 2001 no-p.
I went to my buy bank and ordered a box for next week. Someone else in town is moving coins around!

Wolfman, if you don't mind a little extra work, once you've gone through a roll, re-roll your discards as you go in the original rolls, then put your own unique mark on the paper. Though it won't stop you from getting dud boxes, it will stop you re-searching old rolls that may have been exchanged/re-distributed between banks

Good idea, I do date and initial the box but not each roll. This box had only a dozen paper wrappers and the rest were those clamshell type, but a magic marker would work. When I got the last box of quarters I almost got one of mine back. The lady pulled it out and I asked to see the edge of the box and sure enough it was my handwriting. Turns out the box I got was a dud to but like my Gramma said "C'est la guerre"

Finally some more silver.  A 1968 and 1963 dime in a $250 box. They were super dirty, probably why they got in there. |

Went into a local BMO with a coin counter machine to exchange some searched rolls for new ones.. The asst mgr saw me and jumped to her garbage can and said "I have something for you!" I thought, okaaayyyy.. She said someone had dumped a lot of coin in the machine but a lot of foreign ones jammed it up and stayed in the tray - apparently the person left these behind, and the mgr saved them for me but I hadn't been there in a while so she JUST threw them out that day. There was about $2 in Cdn and $1 in US money, but the real bonus was £4.20 British, $6.50 Australian, 600¥ Japanese Yen, and 154 Hong Kong dollars! That's over $40 in Cdn! Now I just have to keep my ears open for friends traveling so I can exchange the coins with them... |

I went to my bank yestersay and bought 10 x 25c rolls (100.oo), went through them like always, only found 1 coin to save....First time skunked, as I am not fussy....Another collector like me had to have gone through them right before me....?

That $60 in nickels had was an interesting search. Firstly there was $60.36 plus a foreign coin I don't recognise. Some of the rolls were filled to the top, they must not have been counting. I got 1 roll of US and 3 rolls of pre 1982 out of the bunch.
