harrison2 Pillar of the Community Mexico 1304 Posts	Posted 11/23/2009 01:20 am Is there any point in roll hunting outside the US? I'm in Mexico and I get the impression that with the number of changes in currency that have transpired over the past century there is nothing in circulation that is worth more than face. Can someone please correct me on the matter? Report this Post to the Staff

You can always try to search for errors and variaties, but I am not sure if there is a demand for those. Report this Post to the Staff
harrison2 Pillar of the Community Mexico 1304 Posts	Posted 11/23/2009 01:42 am Yeah, I hear ya...I just wish I could do some roll hunting... :( The best option for me is to order a box and have someone bring it down for me from the states...but that's just stupid. I'd be better off if I had a krause on mexico coins or something like that...then I could pick up goodies from the junk coin piles and apparently there are one or two in there.

Australia, Europe, Asia all mostly use plastic bags for handling bulk quantities of coins. "Bag hunting" doesn't have quite the same ring to it. This old thread discusses the same topic, and points out that America, Canada and Switzerland are the only countries in the world still using the same coinage system that they were using before WWII, and so are the only countries where it's "worthwhile" to roll hunt. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
