    Yesterday I rolled up 400 1976 bicey quarters and sold them to the bank. I have been saving them over the last year so I would have them on a rainy day. I wanted to get a DNA test to see what ethnicities I am so I gathered them up and deposited them. Somebody is going to be surprised when they open those rolls.

    That doesn't technically release them into circulation... what if the next bank customer was a CRHer and picked up 10 rolls? :p

    Didn't know there were tests that could tell you what ethnicity you were? And it only costs $100?

    I'm mostly curious about how much Native American I have in me.

    There's a 99% chance that they'll go back into circulation.

    I feel like the guy on Pawn Stars "And how did you come up with that number?"

    I agree , pretty much all banks will eventually use what rolls they have , unless they're dollar rolls .

    For the brief period I was roll searching half dollars I would sort the coins by date and mint mark and re-roll them in the wrappers they came in sequentially before returning them to the bank. Many of the rolls were solid dates.

    And you all are the reason I do not roll search. :) I think I always got rolls just like you all describe. I think I did it 2 or 3 times and always came up blank - I really believe several of the half rolls were solid date and mint mark.

    Your link leads to a sign-in page for me. My sister is a real nut with this stuff, and you say it is extremely generic? You mean I'm not related to Charlemagne?

    And a ton of sarcasm.

    Especially if they find one of those uber rare 1976-D DDO coins.
