<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 521964, member: 4626"]You ask for wheat penny rolls they'll probably just look at you funny, and probably won't have them anyway. Though sometimes wheat pennies sneak into rolls, especially if they're "recycled" rolls (rolls filled with coins collected from circulation, not filled with fresh ones from the Mint) so it's worth searching, which I assume is what you're trying to do. I still find them in circulation, ocassionally.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just ask for normal rolls and you might get lucky. I filled a good portion of my Whitman Lincoln cent folders this way (how my grandmother got me started in coin collecting!).</p><p><br /></p><p>If you can convcince them to give you rolls that look older or hand-rolled, your chance of finding older stuff is better, though less and less banks have these it seems, from my experience. (A lot of banks don't accept hand-rolled change and instead use coin counting machines.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
