I do not remember the exact year the Mint enacted the procedures(discontinuing small bags to banks, using riddlers and wafflers) but is was around 2000.
2001 was the last year the Mint placed cents in 5,000 count canvas bags. They started with the large Ballistic Bags in 2002. There was no change in how the coins were manufactured, just in how they were packaged for shipment.
