How Many Of Our Members Get Rolled Coins From Banks

I'd say once every 2 or 3 weeks. Alot to do. Hard to get the time anymore. Like snowman many of my finds are out of everyday circulation.

funning this was brought up. I just got 8 rolls of nickels today. I get them about once a week or every other week. I took back 8 rolls of nickels and just asked the teller for 8 more. in those 8 rolls I found 2 1946 and 1 1954 that is the only old ones but these 8 rolls were very good to me.

So far I have only spent 10-12 dollar on nickel rolls, I have exchanged them I think 3 times and I have all but 3 nickels from 1962-2006. the ones I am missing are all Phillie mint. my bank care Denver. I am having fun putting my nickel set togther this way. So either later this week or next I will change them in and get new ones.

Questian for the others how do this. Do oyu usally take your rolls to the bank or do you use a coinstar machine. Also if you take rolls back do you ussaly wait tell your next visit to get new rolls or just do it right then. The teller look at me a little funny today when I turned in 8 rolls and ask if I could get another 8.

I work in the same building that has a bank :) I go over there on my lunch and pick up a roll or two :D

I reroll my coins, and deposit them at one bank. Then, I go to the bank across the street to get some new ones. That way I don't search coins I've already been through.

And that way you also don't annoy the tellers who gave you the rolls to begin with! I don't know why, but it really bugs me when I go fetch rolls for someone only to have them brought back a few days later. Of course, we started charging to count coin, so that cuts down on the coin coming back- we have to open rolls to count them. (BTW- I voted "never"!)

This just me but I would find a NEW bank sound like they cheapskates!!

I get rolls to full up my circulated books. So far I have completed pennies and nickles. Pennies from 1959 to present and nickles from 1954 to present. I take out all of the wheaties I find and all of the new nickles. I just need 4 more dimes to complete dimes books .


AND TODAY I FOUND MY FIRST SILVER IN A ROLL!!!!!! A 1954 DIME!!!

I usually pick up 1/2 rolls once every 2 weeks from the bank, and search through the change rolls at my work each time they come in. Find a lot of silver in the quarters and dimes b/c they use clear rolls.

About 5-6 times every month.

I visit my bank at least 2 or 3 times a week. I'm after at least two rolls of each of the 6 denominations. One I open and place the 20 in 2x2s. That gives me 20unc (with the occasional chunc or gem). The other I put away for a rainy day. I also swap them for non circulating legal tender coins like the mint your owns (the die is stamped on a portable press). There is also a strong market for uncirculated rolls of coins on Australian ebay. For example, a roll of unc 2005 which I can get from the bank for $20 is selling on ebay for $50 plus postage. The reason for the mark up is that unc rolls are generally only done by one company and that company generally only provides to one bank. They are therefore not as common as one would think, and they are generally the only source for unc coins.
