<p>[QUOTE=&quot;softmentor, post: 2528016, member: 10469&quot;]I also keep gas cost to nothing since I include crh bank stops with other banking I&#039;m doing anyway. and I do that with other errands. Gas is really zero expense for me.</p><p>Wrappers to re-roll are given free at my bank so again a zero in that column.</p><p>There is the occasional roll that is short some coin, and almost never a roll that is over. Seems to be a bigger problem with dimes than others. I&#039;m guessing the size of dimes is at the edge of what the machines can handle accurately. I haven&#039;t kept count but I guess less than one in 5 rolls is short with dimes, less than one in 20 for others, on average. Halves, almost never, interestingly enough. But all in all, a rather small cost.</p><p>I get halves in bags from the counting machine. The machine will count other coins and things like guitar picks, foreign coin, and plugs and tokens. so I am usually short $3 or $4 per hundred. but I also find some silver, often a Canadian twoney ($2.00 for fifty cents) Anyway, I still get a nickle or quarter instead of the half or some interesting foreign or something from most of these, so it&#039;s not a complete loss. </p><p>So apart from these small losses, it is really only my time. Time to carry them to and fro, sort through and examine them, and re-roll them. </p><p>There is also the time to research values of the ones I sell and time and fees and shipping to sell them. Cost for selling ranges from 50% for a small $2.00 item to 15% for larger values. </p><p>Now if I were to count time against wages? I&#039;m not even making minimum wage. But I enjoy the thrill of the find, and that is the value to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
