I find them quite often, but in "doses." E.g., my store goes through roughly one $25 box of pennies per week, and two weeks ago I had to take six dimes out of the pennies in my coin changer, plus I found another two on my own (from the same roll, no less--keep that up and I'll get rich!). But this week? Only one, and it was so black I was only able to identify it as a dime after I tossed it in a dollop of degreaser to see if there were even any features under the grime, or if it was a slug. We get our change from Wells Fargo, but I'm not sure what company wraps their change. It's those my-kingdom-for-paper-wrappers plastic shrinkwrappy things, if that helps with ID.

I must be lucky as I always find one or two per sealed box. My max is 6 dimes in one box.

I have just the opposite problem. I get pennies in my nickel rolls and even my HALF DOLLAR rolls, and they are replacing the other coin, not an added bonus.

I remember back a few years ago in 2 rolls of dimes
each with a one cent in them. 49 dimes and a one cent.
Whoever the cheapskate was had no clue about silver.
Each roll had a silver dime in it. Laugh's on him.

I have never found a different denomination US coin in a roll. I would say I've been through at least 75 boxes of different denominations.

I have found a dime in a cent roll, about every 90-100 rolls.

Hasn't happened to me yet, but who am I to complain? If I want dimes, I'll get dime rolls.

However, this guy on youtube found a Mercury dime in his penny rolls.

Did a box of nickels today, one roll had a dime in it, 2010 Canadian... First time I've had a dime in a nickel roll, but not that uncommon for me to find a dime in a penny roll, it happens from time to time. What sucks is when a penny turns up in a nickel roll, and even worse a nickel in a quarter roll! Now that happens a lot more often... :-/
