<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 1388127, member: 2098&quot;]I re-roll almost all of my coins and only one bank around here cares about attaching your account information to the rolls. They happen to have a coin counter so they make it difficult if you want to bring in rolls to exchange. I brought in alot of rolls to exchange at this bank recently and the teller wrote my account number on every roll of pennies that I brought in. She said if they get rolls that are short they will withdraw the money from your account. Likewise she said if you put a dime in a roll of pennies they will credit your account 9 cents, for example. I laughed when she told me this but she was serious.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, nobody at most banks is really going to care if you bring in some rolls of nickels and pennies that are short a coin here and there. The problem with halves and quarters is that this can add up to a substantial dollar amount quickly. This is what makes me nervous with CWR rolls of halves and quarters. A teller at my bank told me that he had $300 in rolled quarters available. I opted to buy his nickels and pennies instead. What if some crook filled some of these quarter rolls with washers from his garage? That would be alot of money that I&#039;d stand to lose and I don&#039;t know if I reported it to the bank that they would care or believe me and give me back my money. One possible solution is to bring a magnet to the bank and go over the CWR rolls of quarters while there but this would be seen as strange and weird so I&#039;m not too sure about doing that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are my stats from a few years ago on buying CWR rolls of quarters:</p><p>06-16-2007</p><p>Quarters redeemed: $1522 (6,088 quarters)</p><p><br /></p><p>Anomalies: Nickel found in roll. In 1 roll, 38 of the 40 quarters were State. One roll contained no state quarters; however all quarters from 1998 were well circulated. One roll contained only 38 coins. One roll contained only 37 quarters and a nickel! One roll contained a worn 1995 1 peso from the Philipines. One roll contained only 39 coins. One roll contained only 39 coins. One roll contained only 38 coins. One roll contained only 39 coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those are just the rolls I sampled to check for accuracy before re-rolling. As one can see, CWR rolls of quarters are short left and right due to incompetency or fraudulent intent from those who bring them in to be redeemed at banks. I can&#039;t even fathom if I bought alot of halves that were short like Noobismatist unwittingly did.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
