searching cent rolls from the Fed Reserve

My bank orders it coins from the Federal Reserve bank or that is what they told me, so I went in and got a $25 box of pennies came home and searched them for wheat cents and only found 7 out of 2500. Well I know that is a fluke because I find 3 or 4 a week in pocket change. Needless to say I went back and got $50 more and came home and went through them guess what 7 wheats in each box. Did the same thing today 2 boxes of $25 and each box had 7.

That's about what I find when I search those boxes. I personally don't think that is that bad.

 

How do you find 3 or 4 a week? I am lucky to find maybe 1 a month.

 

I'm VERY lucky to find a couple a year in pocket change. I average about 8 wheats per bank box.

 

Well I don't feel so bad I thought I was just unlucky.

 

Same here. I get 3 -5 a year in change, but about 5-8 per box.

 

For some reason, I find more in the clear plastic rolls versus the paper rolls (unless they're hand rolled).
