Really Slow Roll Hunting Weekend

hey 16 wheats is pretty good

Wow, I can't believe you went through all of that in a weekend

Just walk in to a bank and ask for coins. You want to ask for small amounts so the clerk can pull them from the tray in front of her. Ask for $5 or 6$ of cents and she will normally have them right there. If you ask for a large amount - it increases the chance they will have to go to the vault to get coins. And that normally means coins rolled by Brinks or String & Son.

When a customer brings in CWR's they normally go directly into the tray of the teller receiving them - without ever being mixed into the over-all "universe" of coins that compose Brinks or String rolls. That makes their character very unique. They could be coins that had been sitting in a jar for years. They could be coins from a collection, or even an ash tray. Customer wrapped rolls are not wrapped in plastic (like Brinks rolls). They are wrapped in the same kind of penny wrappers you can buy from Walmart, or get just by asking the teller for them.

In my experience, rolls wrapped by Brinks or String & Son will be very average, because the machines that roll the coins will normally be set to reject coins by weight or size, (hence less foreign coins or dimes). For these reasons I prefer CWR's, (and also because banks are less likely to try to charge you a fee - like some of them do when you ask for a box of coins)!

Look for streets that have many banks on them. Then just drive down the road and hop out at each bank, and ask for the coins. This last Saturday, I hit 5 banks in 45 minutes, accumulating $25 in Cents, and $40 in nickels. About 75% of all the coins were CWR's.

Goes very quickly once you get your "routes" set up!
