I guess that person was fatigued while doing so many rolls.

I like it when that happens. Got a roll of halves like that one time, it had 27 in it. It was in an older wrapper and like your dimes had just enough paper to close it.

They were probably counting by tens and added one to much and did not realize it.. maybe the paper would have told him to stop, but I guess not.

While reading this, I was wondering how the banks are verifying if you did not cheat them?
I have done some roll searching form German Pfennig and Mark coins several years ago.
On the rolls there were the names of the people who have rolled them and when returning, they made some kind of checking as I received the money only a couple of days later.
Since the introduction of the euro I have abandoned roll checking as I am not hunting for varieties and rare years appear in general exclusively in mint sets.

Hey, Maudry, are cheques still used in Germany? I met someone from Munich who'd never used one before. I had to help her fill it out. This surprised me because Germany is famous for their banking.

Hi Libertad,
I don't know. I am from Luxembourg but I believe cheques are quite uncommon there. Unlike France where they are pretty common.
In Luxembourg they are in use but not very common.

Nice find. Mine are always the correct amount, never more never less. Guess that both good and bad

Roll searching is going to slowly come to an end. In some areas banks are only accepting rolled coins or bulk coins in bags but they must be sent out for counting. Most Bank of America and Chase Banks have started this now. No more counting machines in those banks as they stop working, they are removed. If you bring in rolls or bulk coins they are placed in a plastic bag, sent to a main office for counting. The results are entered into your account minus the fee for that service. NO ACCOUNT? Then they send you a check and even more for that service too. Bank of America is telling all branches no more half dollars are to be kept or ordered for customers. If any come in they are to be sent to the main branch where they will be accumulated and then sent to the Federal Researve.
So if you are a roll searcher, do as much as you can for now since this will surely spread to your area soon.

For rolled pennies, nickels and dimes, they usually don't check it. If they have to, they will compare the length of the roll to another roll they have. For large quantities, they will dump it into a bag, count it and then credit your bank account. But, it's not free most of the time. |

The weiting on the wrappers is the name, and account number that the banks used to require, for all deposits of rolled coins. As far as the charging to, or crediting to your account, from the depositing in the plastic bags, I have never seen any report of any kind on my account, and I check it daily, at least once. I have turned in as much as $500.00 in half dollars, when I gave up on them, and went for the quarters, instead. In the rolls, beside finding coins that are very close to the diameter of the coins concerned, I have found truck-wash tokens in the quarter rolls, SBA dollars there, and always a Canadian coin of that denomination in the roll. There have been dimes in the cent rolls, and as far as bweing "long, or short< I always set up a stack that I KNOW has the correct number of coins, and leave it at hand, to check the length. Thay way I don't short myself, nor them. I do have to take a loss when a tax token, or some coin that is from halfway arounfd the world shows up in the cent rolls. That is all I search, now, so less loss. Dick |

Maybe by you for now but as I said, by me ALL rolls, bags, jars, etc are sent out to a main place for counting. Rolls are even more suspicious due to short rolls, slugs or washers added, plastic spacers, etc. I asked at one branch of Bank of America what they would do if I brought in ONE roll of something. Answer: Rules of the bank would be to send it out for counting. |

How do I count dimes? I don't. When I'm searching thousands of $ in dimes, no way am I going to count or re-roll, I just dump the spoils into $500 bags and turn them over to the tellers. They hand me cash. Or, I run them thru a counter. Been dumping this way for awhile, never had any problems with short bags.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72
