So I've gotten the idea of rolling up the coins that are sitting around my house with only face value. I want to get a coin roller that rolls them up shotgun style and not the traditional folds. I've been looking on ebay and googling and have only found the wrappers but not the actual machines. Are these not available to the public like the coin sorters? |

A dealer that I know quite well figured he would try those because they were cheap... well, they are cheap and do not do a very good job. I had the same idea as you but "shotgun" that these do is not very well at all.
Semacon makes a wrapper crimper, but to get all the heads it is nearly $500.

Couple of years ago, I obtained a couple of hand held pieces of plastic which when used, forms the type of roll that you want. There are two which when used can roll any coin from cent up to half. And I might add, does an acceptable job of crimping. At least as good as the bank rolled coins and in some cases even better. Don't know what they are called but obtained them from N.F. String & son, inc. Harrisburg, PA. I'm well satisfied.  |

Check out this site. http://www.twist-n-crimp.com/The bank I use uses these they do not last like a $500.00 machine but will do several hundred rolls each, and for around $3.00 plus shipping,you can order a dozen and not have to worry for quite a while. Madspec |

Not sure what you plan on doing with those coins, but if your planning on putting them in rolls, they must not be worth to much. Around me most banks do not like people with rolls and usually will not readily give out cash for them but want them deposited into an account. They have to break them all open for counting. Most everyone I know just takes coins in to a bank in a jar, can, box, bag, etc. If you have lots of coins most banks will give you a coin bag for them at no cost. However, if your just putting them in rolls for storage, again must not be worth to much since most methods will scratch the coins anyway.

Up here they won't take your change unless it's rolled. I'd love to just take in jars or bags of coins and let them do the work. Especially if they provide me with the bags, too!

I belong to a Credit Union, and they will not take coins in rolls. I just hang on to them til I have a bag full and they count them for me.

Those 'twist-n-crimp' rollers are the ones that I have used and find to do a satisfactory job. Thanks madspec for the web site.

Sure they are available. This site https://www.abccoin.com/store/autom...wrapper.aspx has two electric versions of the Twist N Crimp linked earlier($375 and $450), and an electic desktop machine that uses rolls of wrapping paper rather than the pre-rolled tubes and automaticly counts and rolls up to 12 rolls a minute ($7,800).
