Dimes in penny rolls..

I found two dimes in two different penny rolls. Looks like they mistaken them as a penny. Got pictures.

Nice! Hope u get a wheat or Indian next time.

 

You are 18 cents richer!

 

I was at a convenience store in Colorado earlier this month. The customer ahead of me paid with small change and put the coins on the counter. The customer left and I could see a darkly colored dime in the mix. The cashier just put it into the cent tray in the register. I informed the cashier one of the coins was a dime and he just looked on with the most careless demeanor one could imagine.

 

Yeah I found a wheat. 1940

 

18? I thought 20? Lol

 

Why do people look at me like I'm foreign and speak a totall different language when I ask for a roll of pennies? Like I'm really crossing the line when I ask? They either get confused if I want penny rolls or 1.00 back or that it's weird that I even search through pennies? What am I doing wrong here? Think I got to quit.

 

My father has me and my brother buy him $25.00 in pennies at our credit unions from time to time - my brother once ran to several credit unions and got him $125.00 in pennies.

You're fine.

 

I get like 9 at a time. Just don't like when they give me an off look.

 

What you're doing is too important - ignore the haters.

 

My one credit union has the walk in safe with all the money in it.

I ask from time to time for new uncirculated strapped bills, or now a few quarter rolls, half rolls. But I don't go over board. Just a couple at a time that I can fit in one hand, *never* a box or anything like that. I never have a problem.

 

Don't quit. U like doing it and who knows what u may find. Just ignore them.

 

Each dime replaced a penny. So you are 9 cents ahead of each dime=penny
thus 18 cents ahead of the roll's face value or 118 cents in that roll (as the 2 dimes displaced 2 pennies).

 

I stack all my change each day in a coin stacker. Roll them when the stacker is full. My eyes are so bad anymore I have caught myself several times putting dimes in the vent stack.

 

Oohhhhh lol.....Ok I get it now. Almost made me confused for a second.

 

what do people preferably want machine rolled or costumer rolled coins?

 

customer rolled coins would have a higher probability of coming from dad's old penny jar which may contain old coins that had fallen into the abyss for decades ...
rather than nice new shiny 2018 cents.

 

Like ones from the convenience store are perfectly rolled tight like machine rolled and found more wheats in that than costumer rolled I found dimes and maybe 2 wheats I've found in that. Costermer rolled could have been searched through right?

 

It's all a probability.
store's change, before it was given as change, could have been searched through.

The thing is, getting as close to the person giving the change has the higher probability of getting older change.

People will dump their coins in a coinstar/bank machine all the time from home.
Usually around Christmas time (I'm told by the bank) is when people gather up all the change they can find and cash it in. My local banks told me they get the most Halves around Thanksgiving up to Christmas time.

 

Better living through mathematics
Solve for the increased value (X) using the following data:
A = Number of rolls
C1 = Number of cents in the roll
C2 = value of a cent
D1 = Number of dimes in the roll
D2 = Value of each dime
V = total value of the rolls
In 2 normal rolls:
V(normal) = A x [(C1 x C2) + (D1 + D2)]
V(normal) = 2 x [(50x0.01) + (0x0.10)]
V(normal) = 2 x [0.50 + 0]
V(normal) = 1.00
In 2 of shrew’s rolls
V(shrew) = A x [(C1 x C2) + (D1 + D2)]
V(shrew) = 2 x [(49x0.01) + (1x0.10)]
V(shrew) = 2 x [0.49 + 0.10]
V(shrew) = 2 x 0.59
V(shrew) = 1.18
X = V(shrew) – V(normal)
X = 1.18 – 1.00
X = 0.18
Therefore, you made 18 cents.
