I think it can be worth it, every once in awhile someone posts in the coin forum about finding something cool in a roll...it can help to have someone at your bank watching out for rolls coming in...

Also, on a side note, you can't really lose with roll hunting since you're always paying only face value buying rolls from the bank...

Very good point, twoods. your bank purchase will always be worth at least face. So what do you have to lose (besides your time)?

It is better to look at it as entertainment, not a source of profit. I stopped a few years ago when my pile of saved coins was getting out of hand, and the volume of interesting ones dropped too low.

Actually sometimes the rolls are short so you may lose a bit.

Here in Ohio the bank requires the customer wrapped rolls to have account numbers of the assembler in case of shortages, and they openly state any shortages will be deducted. I have never had a problem, but even having this requirement tells me they have had issues in the past.
