Each roll is wrapped in paper, and then 10 rolls (I think) are packed in some plastic foil.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some pictures of mint rolls from various European countries:</p><p><a href="http://i21.ebayimg.com/03/i/07/33/bf/53_1_b.JPG" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i21.ebayimg.com/03/i/07/33/bf/53_1_b.JPG" rel="nofollow">http://i21.ebayimg.com/03/i/07/33/bf/53_1_b.JPG</a></p><p>(Greece - rolls of 2 cent coins with mint name)</p><p><a href="http://www.muenzauktion.com/beko/pic/atomium_004_benny.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.muenzauktion.com/beko/pic/atomium_004_benny.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.muenzauktion.com/beko/pic/atomium_004_benny.jpg</a></p><p>(Belgium - roll of €2 commems with mint logo)</p><p><a href="http://i6.ebayimg.com/04/i/07/37/1b/a3_1_b.JPG" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i6.ebayimg.com/04/i/07/37/1b/a3_1_b.JPG" rel="nofollow">http://i6.ebayimg.com/04/i/07/37/1b/a3_1_b.JPG</a></p><p>(Greece - rolls of 5 cent coins with mint name)</p><p><a href="http://www.muenzauktion.com/beko/pic/2_euro_rolle_finnland_2005_un.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.muenzauktion.com/beko/pic/2_euro_rolle_finnland_2005_un.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.muenzauktion.com/beko/pic/2_euro_rolle_finnland_2005_un.jpg</a></p><p>(Finland - roll of €2 commems with mint logo)</p><p><a href="http://www.swissmint.ch/_images/presse/production/5-muenzrollen.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.swissmint.ch/_images/presse/production/5-muenzrollen.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.swissmint.ch/_images/presse/production/5-muenzrollen.jpg</a></p><p>(Switzerland - 5 CHF coins, rolls with mint logo)</p><p><br /></p><p>But this does not necessarily mean that these mints sell such rolls to individual customers. The German mints, for example, will not do that; don&#039;t know about others.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
