Hello! My bank only stocks N.F. String And Son wrapped rolls. I was wondering, do they remove any IHCs or steel cents? I've searched through maybe 500+ rolls and never found any...

I'm not sure if any of the coin services sort for anything. I've found IHCs searching rolls, but it's a rare event. I think that the few I've found were a mix of customer rolled and service rolled cents. Steel pennies might be gleaned out via a magnet, but otherwise, I've heard folks finding them. I couldn't say if they found them in customer wrapped coin though.

They are just super rare in circulation. I found one in probally $500 in cents looking through brink boxes. It would be really unprofitable for a company to sort them out. The only one I found was worth about a dollar.

I doubt they would remove any coins. I've gone through several hundred pounds of cents and only found a single IHC. As for steel cents, I've only found one. And that was in a bag of pennies that I got from an elderly gentlemen who had saved $16.50 face from the 80's.

Steel cents would generally be screened out via magnets, like many other foreign coins with a steel planchet. Cupronickel IHCs could possibly be screened out since they are thicker and heavier than the 1864-1982 bronze cents.

NF String and Son is not a coin rolling company, they provide the wrap that contains your coin.

Coin rolling companies do not own the coin to be able to remove any. I see no reason of financial gain for them to pull any coin from the process. They are very profitable in what they do to start with.

It would take a long time to sort through all the coins they process. Remember they have to pay someone to do that. I don't think it's worth it on their end, but it certainly helps us out a bit.

Machines don't have to be paid. They could quickly and easily sort. They can't as it's not their coin to begin with.
