Do you like the plastic rolls or paper? I don't like the plastic rolls verymuch. I'm talking about the shrink plastic rolls not the hard rolls. The coins seem in worst shape.

I'm not fond of the plastic either. Give me paper each and every time.

The shrink-wrapped rolled coins are being handled by more than just the original roller...which means that more eyes are viewing the coins.

Just my humble opinion of course...

I prefer the paper as well, it allows me to pull coins out and still close the roll where the shrink wrap does not allow that.

I like paper for the UNC rolls that I save. I like plastic for the circ rolls I search (cents and nickels) because it is easier to remove the coins.

I agree with scotty. More people have seen the coins when they are put in plastic. With paper rolls there is a better chance of finding something worthwhile.

I agree with Coin Guy. The plastic rolls take the fun and surprise out of hunting. Just my opinion but I prefer paper.

I like plastic because they don't break as easily. I reuse them, too :D

Seeing the coins thru the plastic doesn't matter with cents or nickels. I can understand how it makes a difference on clad coins if you only search for silver. If you search for errors or varieties then in most cases seeing the edge of the coin doesn't mean anything.

I like paper myself. It's easier to open, and it keeps its secrets until you open it.
Rest in Peace

I open 10 of the 2009-p FY and didn't get nothing and they was in plastic, then open one roll paper and for 6 error coins. WHY? I don't understand. And I ask some pepole that selling boxes and some have brown rolls not the white rolls. I heard one time before that the only time banks use the brown is when they run out of the white. Is this true or is it horse poo?
