A small, really thin blade of grass tucked in between some pennies while searching cents. No joke!

Some kind of shiny metallic Catholic medallion/icon of Benedict in a roll of cents. I think it was Benedict anyway.

I found chunks of wood, bits of decayed food, all sorts of other foreign matter. Today I found a 1 Thai Bhat coin - their king looks like Elton John. I've found British pennies in penny, dime and nickel rolls. I found a Detroit People Mover token, which I recognized, having lived near Detroit, but it's weird that I found it in a roll of nickels in Florida.

I found a CWR of dimes with a dime that had a quarter of an inch of what looked like dried pomegranate mush on it.

Also found a roll of dimes with 6 extra, CWR as well.

Also found two pennies in the same nickel roll, and once a butterfinger wrapper in one as well.

I've also found hair follicles in rolls (which I know were not mine) and a small piece of a candy wrapper. Weirdest coin I've ever found was one of those privately minted naughty Arkansas quarters. I didn't want get caught having that so I spent it asap

I found a nickel that had one side to it superglued what looks like linoleum flooring. I'm thinking somebody pried this off a floor after some jokester superglued it to the floor. What's interesting is that it was on the end of a roll, with the flooring material showing.
