<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 24586126, member: 25270"]I wouldn't call myself a "roll searcher" but I've been working on various Whitman folders with my six-year-old so we usually go to the bank every week and ask for a few rolls. We've been working on quarters for some time and he only needs one for his state quarters album (Puerto Rico) and maybe 5-7 for the National Parks (all 2010 and 2011). Usually I just get four rolls a week but we really haven't been making any more progress so one day I decided to go big. I went to the bank and asked for a whole box of quarters. I figured surely this will at least get us most of the way there. </p><p><br /></p><p>So after opening up all the rolls, we filled ... exactly zero spots! It's so frustrating how these last few coins are so elusive. I found one W in the roll, no silver, and nothing else remarkable. The good thing is it doesn't cost anything but I'm disappointed. I know some of you do this all the time but it was a big step for me to lay out $500 and get this box and then basically get skunked. I know I could just buy the quarters we need on eBay or something but I really want to complete this on our own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
