    This just fell out of a Loomis roll of quarters tonight! It's definitely smaller and lighter than a quarter. How did it even make it through the Loomis sorting and rolling machines?!

    I've seen stranger though...Recently I saw someone post a little metal butterfly pin from a roll, an off-center quarter which definitely shouldn't have even fit in the roll, I remember someone posting a coat button, foreign coins of course...
    Post your odd finds from coin rolls!

    Of course, I've had my share of magician's coins, batteries, plastic coins, slugs and even part of a necklace, but I struck gold in a nickel roll and silver in a cent roll. You just never know...

    Holy smokes, cool! Years ago...before I started filming when opened special rolls I had a fantastic old vintage roll of wheat where I found a beat up $1 gold! But your gold is spectacular!

    I used to have a few of those mini silver cards too but to find one in a roll...Wowee! Thanks for sharing those!

    The funniest finds for me out of BWR are several plastic play pennies. Obviously some coin counting machines are out of calibration somewhere.

    The crazy thing is that I stuck the Ducat in my foreign coinage bin initially. I didn’t think anything of it aside from thinking that it looked more like gold than other coins I found. Months later someone asked the question about how many countries folks found coinage from during CRH events. I wondered myself do I took out the bin and made my discovery. Better let than never!!

    The mini sterling bar - that was very odd. But not the first time I found silver in a roll of cents. In a customer wrapped roll I found a 1942 Mercury dime. And since I don’t CRH dimes or quarters, I broke that barrier inadvertently.

    I've found '43 steel cents in dime rolls on a couple of occasions.

    I said to my dad, one day I'm going to find a million dollar coin. His answer, yes you will, in a galaxy far far away. My final thought "crap."
