I have so far found about 6 rolls, from different boxes, in the white with red wording paper wraps with dimes in them with the pennies. what is going on with that? why? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 04/10/2015 05:37 am I'm guessing customers mistake the dimes as pennies because of their copper edge and slightly smaller size when they cash in their rolls. If you have a whole bunch of coins and have to roll them all up, it is likely you might mistake a dime for a penny. Report this Post to the Staff

my76strat Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 04/10/2015 10:08 am I also find dimes, semi-regularly, and presume it is done inadvertently. I consider it a nice find each time it happens. I have noticed that it only occurs on hand rolled examples, never the machine rolled varieties. Report this Post to the Staff
cladking Pillar of the Community United States 2271 Posts	Posted 04/10/2015 10:11 am Coin separators (counters) have a few adjustments that can be made so almost any size coin can be counted. If the machine is set too tightly it can exclude or jam on bent or brand new coins that are a little out of spec and if set to loosely they'll pass different sized coins. It's common for slightly smaller coins to be included with larger coins if it's too sloppy. I suspect this is what's happening here. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff
