This was a big deal in 2019. I had a great time stashing Buffalo nickels at school entries and the like. Any chance this will come around again?
The idea was pretty noble in it's goal. With the problems we face now, coin roll hunting as a hobby has shrunk greatly. I doubt it will happen again soon.
I don't think it's time yet, but I'm holding out hope for later in the year. I wonder if it could help kick-start people into using cash again?
I agree with Randy, but I never stopped releasing coins into the wild. I carry Buffalo and Liberty nickels. along with a few wheat back and Indian Head cents, in a 2x2 clear slip with a small piece of printed paper explaining why I am gifting that particular coin to a young person. I give them away when I'm in town, asking the parents permission before handing to a minor. Usually the parent and child are thrilled when they see what it is. It makes me happy and I hope it will inspire young people to start collecting.
I give the young ladies at the golf course concession stand Presidential and Native American dollars as tips. May spark one, I hope.
Have been sorting pounds of old foreign from a relative lately. Broke away from vacation time off sorting & went to see my mom on New Year's Day. Cleaned out her garden shed & found 4 old moldy bank rolls of '46 Jeff nickels & 4 rolls of '46 wheaties in a rusted Ovaltine can. Kept 1 good example from each roll & turned the rest over to a 7/11 for 9 in paper & 3 quarters. Hope an aspiring coin buff will fill in a blank in a Whitman.
