    JeffC Go explore something and think a happy thought!

    Thanks, but my curiosity was about HOW they are transported - meaning in what kind of containers. Surely, they're no longer in those giant bags that require forklifts? Thanks.

    Most of the coin in my area is wrapped by the armored car companies with about 25% wrapped by the banks themselves. Automatic coin wrappers can wrap between 15 and 40 rolls per minute depending on the model. Smaller banks can use a hand packager with crimper, an experienced user can wrap about 3-4 rolls per minute.

    Once they get to wherever the mint sent them, the giant bags ( they call them ballistic bags if I'm not mistaken) are opened and the coins are rolled and or bagged in smaller bags by the recipients.

    It's pretty easy, it's because they aren't all scanned and checked by robots. Quality control is spot checking done by humans. In other words, with business strikes nobody ever looks at every coin.
