<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 713355, member: 4350&quot;]Those little collector bags are not what i am referring to.&nbsp; They used to do bags of 5000 cents for example, as a part of normal business. SBA Dollar coins, for example came in bags of 2000 coins each.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Mint used to bag and deliver the coinage to the Federal Reserve.&nbsp; It has not been done that way since about 1999.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coins are, since 1999 or so shipped to counting companies in huge ballistic bags weighed by the tonnage.&nbsp; The counting companies use wrappers, (usually printed by String in Harrisburg, PA) to wrap and box the coins.&nbsp; The counting companies ship them to the Federal Reserve.</p><p><br /></p><p>The little collector bags are a joke.&nbsp; They used to sell, at a premium, &quot;rare&quot; Kennedy halves.&nbsp; Minted between 2002 and today, they make about 2,000,000 P and 2,000,000 D Mint halves that are not for regular circulation.&nbsp; They sold them at a premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>I find them in boxes of halves all the time.&nbsp; They are not rare and I suspect that the Mint sent their surplus to the counting companies to be mixed with the other halves.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
