Those things came about from collectors who used to first wrap their coins in aluminum foil and then put that into the paper roll. The idea was to stop the paper roll from toning the coins. And it pretty much worked. So somebody came up with the bright idea of lining paper rolls with aluminum foil and selling them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, ask yourself this question.

You see, if even the tiniest bit of moisture, even from excess humidity, gets on those rolls that causes a a chemical reaction between the copper and the aluminum.
