sfitzernator Valued Member Australia 271 Posts	Posted 05/07/2013 9:03 pm The rolls that I bought have marks on then where they have been sitting for a while. All except that the one handwritten in pen, which is new in comparison to the rest. So far, this is the only roll I have opened. You can roll them by hand. Just make sure you get your old man to label them for you, so that it looks more effective. And scuff the paper up a little. This seller hasn't bothered. Looks more romantic than chucking a heap of pennies on a scale, and taking a pic of them. It's subjective, I guess. If you're new and looking to build a collection of varieties, then these lots may be handy. Report this Post to the Staff
Jeff Pillar of the Community Australia 877 Posts	Posted 05/07/2013 9:16 pm Rolls with "rolled" ends (where you can see the coins) are machine done. But, easy to roll by hand with the ends just folded over. Does take a little practice to get them even and tight. I imagine a 5/- (60 coin) roll of pennies would be hard to handle to get it neat. The secret is to fold the top end of the wrapper in under the coins, slightly rolling the coins back, before you actually roll forward into the wrapper. If anyone wants to try then give me a yell and I will measure some wrappers for you to cut and try at home. Paper is similar to normal brown, parcel wrapping paper. Banks used to have pads of wrappers for different denominations before they went to the ziplock bags. Jeff Report this Post to the Staff
