<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 862925, member: 22143&quot;]Roll searching is mostly looking at modern coin rolls in hopes that someone might have deposited rare or 90% silver coins.&nbsp; (Silver was removed from most USA coins starting in 1965)&nbsp;&nbsp; These days the best luck seems to come from the 1/2 dollar coin rolls because they are not that common in circulation and thus have not been picked over as much.&nbsp; It&#039;s almost impossible to find much of value these days in dime and quarter rolls.&nbsp;&nbsp; You also have to make sure that you are getting rolls that were deposited by individuals and not rolls the bank recently bought new.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In other words you have to go through a huge number of rolls in order to find, hopefully, a good coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you are in the USA it&#039;s not such a big deal as the trick is to get the rolls at one bank then deposit them at another.&nbsp; But sending them to the UK would rack up some pretty hefty mail charges really quick and would not be worth it.&nbsp; Active rolls searchers usually go for bags of these rolls so there is also an investment of several hundred dollars while you have the rolls.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My suggestion to you, is that if you live near one of the tourist areas in the UK that you head for the places where foreign money is exchanged for UK currency when people enter the country.&nbsp; Some suggestions would be near or at the airports and some of the larger tourist hotels.&nbsp; They may be very happy to sell you the American coins they may have, and you might also benefit from the fact that most may not know to pick out the valuable coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; (this is a problem with roll searching, some clever tellers at the banks will pick out the coins too)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
