I recently opened a roll of pennies from the bank and found every cent was 'heads up'. Either someone went to great pains to do that, or it was quite a coincidence.:hail:
I save all my change in a jar (of course each coin is checked carefully before it goes in the jar) when the jar is filled I hand roll them, and yes I put every coin facing the same way.
How do you know you didn't open the roll upside down, thus making them all "tails" up? The odds of that happening naturally I would think are pretty slim...but people doing it on purpose is another question!
It used to be common for bank tellers to 'bank face' (order all notes in the same rotation, face up showing banks/districts names on the face) for all of the notes in their drawer and to some degree this extended to cashiers. This was part of how a neat and orderly till was kept, which facilitated manual counting and a pleasant presentation to the customer or a deposit back to a bank by a business. It seems to be getting rarer and rarer to find this common courtesy extended to customers by tellers, cashiers and even ATM machines dispensing notes in mixed rotation. Because of this I usually need a moment longer to recheck my cash or change. When I receive notes from the bank (teller or ATM) or in everyday cash transactions, I always take a moment to look over my notes for SNs, stars, etc, but also 'bank face' my paper and even go so far as to organize them in order of districts from 1 to 12. Whenever I search rolls, because I am checking them all anyway, I face the heads all the same direction when I re-roll them. Coins that I store in protective tubes also are stacked in the same way. I don't view any of this activity as OCD but that which develops out of the care and attention given to coins and currency by collectors.
562,949,953,000,000:1 if it were to happen naturally. Somehow I would be willing to bet that that roll has been searched.
Maybe it was one of your rolls. Yes it went cross country somehow and BBanker opened it. What are the odds of that happening?
300 Trillion? That's almost the difference between our Debt and our potential exposure after insuring the financial risks of every industry of every lobbyist on K street last year.
