Coin Rolling Machines Weed Out Silver Myth Or Fact?

I have been told that since silver does not match the electronic conductivity signature of copper-nickle clad coins that they will be rejected by more modern coin operated machines. As for your roll searches, are you searching Fed rolls or something rolled by a third party service such as Brinks or Wells Fargo? I have had much success with customer rolls and moderate rinds with third party rolls. I have yet to get a fed rolled box, But I here that they are the best to search and they are only $500.00 boxes.

That's a great idea SJUHawks!

But I guess you'll have to watch that it's a modern (post 2000, maybe?) machine. That way, they're all electronic and surely won't pick up the silver signature.

We are discussing two different critters here- coin counters and coin comparators(which also count). A counter merely counts and everything of a normal size passes through. Coin comparators measure the electrical signature of the metal. A comparator is not designed to just reject silver, the main purpose is to reject slugs and foreign coins but since silver is not a modern circulating composition, they get rejected as well.


Good idea in theory if a bank has a self-serve machine in the lobby. In practice though, most bank counters are behind the front line so your chances of getting the silver back are probably not that great. I am not sure if Coin Stars take halves or not but you still have to put up with that pesky 8.9% service fee or deal with a silly gift card to get full value.
