Taking this on a slight tangent, perhaps some enterprising folks could set up a 'coin roll of the month club'. For $250 a year, club members would receive 1 fresh, commercially-wrapped, unsearched roll of coins monthly, pulled at random from a large bin, for a total of 12 rolls each year. The bin would be replenished monthly from boxes (cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, halves) acquired at face value from a couple banks. And yes, no returns, but free shipping.

This is a common one. My grandmother gave me the ad that came in her mailbox similar to this because she knows that I collect coins. Thank goodness she didn't make any fast moves.

Have to be pretty dense to fall for this scam. But then again a little greed and you will be surprised what people will do.
