Bags For Pennies

I think $100 face value might weigh more than the 70 pounds allowed in a flat rate box.

However, if you are only selling that much, you could probably get a few of the bags from your bank. That's where I got all of my coin bags.


And to CCF!

You may need two bags for that many. They could tell you.




That's up to the bank. Some will require an account, others a business account, some will let you have whatever you want. If you're up front about what you're doing, some will sell you boxes and let you return them after searching, since there are always businesses needing cents. Keep in mind it may cost them for delivery, so they're doing you a huge favor.




Nope. Two bags of wheat (heavier) cents in a double box* come in just under the limit.

*Make two boxes, tops open, get a running start and cram one inside the other. Amazingly strong.

#68 new, a couple # less if worn. Two bags of wheats bagged and double boxed usually come in a few ounces under the limit.

I sell copper cents on ebay and I reuse the plastic bags I get from the counting machine at my bank. They are $50 bags. Two will fit in a medium flat rate box and weigh in at 68 lbs.
