I have never given a crap. I regularly dig through my dealers junk silver then head next door for some pizza. And I usually don't hit his junk until after I've done a box or three of halves on Fridays.

I haven't been sick in any major way in about 3.5 years... consequently, that's when I got serious about roll searching. Coincidence? Who knows?

@FTB:
I guess those nasty bugs in your tummy never get a real chance to 'get at you', because they would suffer from cumulative poisoning!

Incredible... One box of cents and I wash my hands at least 3 times throughout one box.

@FTB, I cant even get Ikes so a little dirt really wouldnt matter to me.

If you care to PM me about where you get them I would really appreciate it!

Pay me $500 and I'll explain every step... otherwise, I'll enjoy my quasi-monopoly on Ikes around here.

Looks like my Hands after searching/wrapping a few boxes of nickels.... The water turns a soapy gray when washing afterwards... But not much beats the fun of searching !

I can say I have never gotten that dirty whether it was 1 or 10 boxes in a row of any denomination.

I use disposable non latex vinyl gloves. its nice not having to scrub my hands after looking through a box. just take it off and your hands are clean.
