UK Roll Hunting?

Hi,I live in the uk myself and mainly collect the older coins,but I do collect errors,so old and new dates apply,i suppose it depends what your after,as in collection coins or errors.
I am a beginner mind and probably too new to comment so I can only suggest what I would think.
The euro's I have not even looked at to be honest,I have some thrown in a not intersested bag somewhere.
Is it worth CRH.?..i would say it's more like money bag picking and hope for the best unless you find a market,boot sale or charity shop in the area.Apart from recent date errors,and foreign coins in my change,all of my collection have been purchased from the internet.
But I do live in wales and things could be different down in london.Sorry I cant suggest anything better,Good luck though.

It does depend on what you intend or hope to find. Do you hope to find silver? Forget it. The only three countries where there's even a slight chance of finding silver in change are America, Canada and Switzerland, and the governments of Canada and Switzerland have actively been withdrawing their own silver coins for decades. Do you hope to find old coins? As stated by others above, the coinage system in Britain is too new; finding anything pre-1990s is hard, anything pre-1971 is impossible. Do you hope to find rare errors or varieties? Sure, that's always possible, but you'd have to educate yourself on what to look for. Britain also has a far more interesting and varied array of circulating commemorative coins than America does, so these can be an interesting avenue of coinage to hunt for. On the other hand, Britain only has one mint, so hunting for mintmarks does not exist.

It would also be worth checking into the local customs regarding bulk coin handling. The use of the term "CRH" implies that there will, in fact, be "rolls" for you to hunt; most countries have phased out "rolls" long ago and switched to plastic self-sealing bags (I believe you call them "ziploc bags" or "baggies"). Bank customers are actively discouraged from depositing coins wrapped in rolls, so there's no such thing as a "customer-wrapped roll". Even acquiring the coins might be tricky; do banks in Britain give out coinage at all to non-customers? If they do, what will you do with the"unwanted" coins from the "rolls" once you've hunted through them? Will the banks take them back, or will you have to go out and try to spend them all before you leave the country?

I pretty much agree with everything that was said above. I went to London and surrounding area for a few days back in May of 2015. I made a list of lower mintage coins and commemoratives, and I wanted to get one of each coin of the new and old designs. The 1 and 2 pound coins have many different designs. Your only option is to look through change; I also had the advantage of looking through my friends' change.

Yeah this was an old thread. I've been back for 6 months... Didn't do any CRH and to be honest didn't even look throw the coins I brought home in change yet... Was surprised by how shiny all the coins were, very different from previous trips
