<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rmpsrpms, post: 2839841, member: 31773&quot;]Rolls were not really used for <b>distribution</b> of coin until the 1920&#039;s. It was <b>remittance</b> of coin that drove the development of coin wrapping machines. The rise of the coin-op vending machine, and paying for public trolleys and such, created a need to send coin back to the banks in large volumes. Coin counting and wrapping machines were created to meet this need. Prior to these machines, the counting and wrapping was done by hand, but as volumes increased, new inventions were needed. I would presume that re-distribution of coin that came in from the vending companies created a demand for rolled coin, and banks began using the machines with new coin as a method of distribution.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
