Customer Wrapped Rolls From The Bank

Well as far as I know CWRs have non crimped edges and Fed wrapped have crimped edges. And when I get CWR they have non crimped edges. But I guess they could have put them together there, but where would they get the coins? These banks dont have coin counters.

They have something at my banks that they run over the rolls to check if there is any Canadian coinage stuck in there. I assume it also works if there is a penny stuck in a dime roll.

Really!? How do you suggest that they do that?

Coin processing companies use coin counting machines and automated coin wrapping machines. They are not going to pay people to hand wrap.

The CWR's I am referring to are not Brinks rolls, and yes I am absolutely certain that they are customer wrapped. As far as using a magnet to test for Canadian or other foreign coins - they are either not doing this to the rolls I get - or they are doing a terrible job. In the past year, I've gotten coins from Canada, Mexico, Bahamas, Belize, Britain, Austria, Barbados, Singapore Italy, and just recently Russia. One other coin is from somewhere in the Middle East- (haven't gotten my Krause book in yet).

It is not likely that if you ask for hundreds of dollars of coins - that you will get many CWR's. In my experience, the CWR's I get are taken from customers, and immediately inserted into the tellers trays - without ever seeing the inside of the banks vault. Now, your bank may also individually roll coins, (in my area these rolls appear as tightly wrapped and crimped paper rolls), also very easy to distinguish from both Brinks rolls and CWR's. The character of these coins is just like Brinks, very average, few foreign coins, very few dimes - condition slighty better and newer, and about 3% less copper cents than CWR's

In my area, Brinks does not use the types of coin wrappers that are made of paper and given for free if you ask the teller, nor do they wrap in paper rolls, with tightly crimped edges (their coins come in plastic exclusively). (Yes I have confirmed this with not one but several bank personnel in more than one Bank.)

Now, the banks in your area, may do things in an entirely different way, but you asked for feedback on CWR's - and that is the reason I am responding.

With all the modern machinery now in banks the latest system is to photo anyone bringing in rolls of coins. Then this photo is sent to all the nearby banks. Then when you order a box of anything, they contact all the other banks that have your rolls and send to that one so when you go to get your rolls, you get your same ones back.
I've heard that some banks are now getting even with people that short roll them. Now the banks are alos short rolling rolls. And if questioned they simply say we are keeping up with the devaluation of our money.

Like another poster mentioned, 80% of cwr's (dimes) that I buy have acct#, tele, or name on them, sometimes scratched out, sometimes not. I can easily buy $1k in cwr's between 2-3 banks, as counters are rare in my city.
I no longer order boxes, as I find enough cwr's and the chance for solid silver rolls are entirely possible.
Living in Michigan, I gather about 20 silver Canadian dimes from rolls, every year, I like them better than mercs, which just get boring after awhile.

Heck, I have taken rolls of my own rolled pennies,nickels and dimes to the bank to exchange them for bills to buy Gas. Sometimes I carry a roll of coins and will purchase gas for my car with them. They look at you funny, but I am like WHAT it is money none the same. The banks that I dealt with over the past would require your name, and account number. That was bad and taboo now to put your account number.

I haven't tried going to my local bank to search rolls in a while.
