oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 06/22/2011 3:47 pm We have all seen "bags" of coins from the mint and banks, but when did rolled coins come around? That CC bank roll of Dollars made me bring this question up. Has anyone else noticed that some banking establishments no longer accept rolls? My credit union won't accept them, and kindly directed me to the coin machine. Thanks in advance! Edited by oih82w8 06/22/2011 3:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

clembo Valued Member United States 442 Posts	Posted 06/23/2011 12:14 am Excellent question and wish I knew the answer as I've been working on a roll set of Two Cent Pieces but don't know how many go in a roll. As for modern rolled coins I don't bother. Just feed them into the machine and make sure you get full face value. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/23/2011 10:22 am There are patents for paper rolls that go back to around the turn of the twentieth century. The earliest reference I know of is from the 1780's when Matthew Boulton packaged the coins he produced and shipped out to the customers wrapped in paper rolls (rowles)and then packed in kegs.
