How do you open your bank rolls . I came up with this method a few months ago ,the old way I was doing it was killing my fingers and the other way of cracking the roll open got on the wife's nerves  So I came up with this method and works great if you dont mind really small wrapper pieces on the table but its a fast way of doing it . Get a pair of diagonal cutters and a few brw's and your good to go  Where the wrapper meets up together at the seam cut each side  Unroll and push the wrapper apart from each other  Note the small piece of wrapper thats what I am talking about with the small wrapper pieces ,The method works for me and I just figured I would share it with everyone  Matt-  |

i take my pocket knifes can opener (the sharper one) and but like you do on the edge. I usually have to scratch the top coin but it is fast and when you have 50 bank rapped half dollars there is no other way

Wire cutters...not a bad idea! I wear a rubber glove on my right hand when roll searching. I use a utility knife and it seems the gripper portion rips the thumb of my glove.

I smack it in the middle against the edge of the table. LOL My wife used to complain too, but she got used to the sound eventually. LOL

I no longer just smash them together like I used to. Not since the day I pulled a cherry RPM and discovered a nice rim hit. Now it's needle-nose and just pull gently on the crimp ends.

I've been doing this for yrs. I use a small screwdriver. The style that's about pen size and has a clip to fit in your shirt pocket.
I pick the ends and turn the roll. I can open the roll nice and clean, it's very quick to open and I don't damage any coins.

I slowing pull the ends of the roll up until one side is completely unrolled. Then I dump the coins out, sort them, and if I have to, I put them back in the roll. It takes forever to open, but I have the time since I don't really search a whole lot (at least four rolls a week, if I can get them ). |

well sometimes I smack the roll against my bed to crack the wrapper, or I bend the roll in half, and usually I just peel around. probably not the best methods I use but hey it works!
