In brief, there are twelve (12) Federal Reserve Banks and they receive coins from the Mints nearest them or redistribute existing coinage they receive from their member banks. The redistributed coinage can be from any Mint, but the new coins are from the Mint that serves that particular Federal Reserve bank. </p><p><br /></p><p>In a general sense, Federal Reserve banks 1-6 are supplied by the Philadelphia Mint and Federal Reserve banks 7-12 are supplied by the Denver Mint. However, that&#039;s not set in stone; a lot depends on product availability. You live in Houston, so I would guess your coins come from the Denver Mint via the Dallas Federal Reserve bank. Open one roll and the rest should be the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the N.F. Sting &amp; Sons wrapper, you can get rolling machines and supplies directly from <i><b><a href="http://www.nfstring.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.nfstring.com/" rel="nofollow">N.F. String &amp; Sons&nbsp; </a></b></i>if you like. My understanding is that the Federal Reserve banks receive bags of coins from the Mint. The Federal Reserve banks either roll the coins themselves or contract the rolling operation to private firms. My guess is that the N.F. String &amp; Sons rolls come from Contractors.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i664.photobucket.com/albums/vv10/Yakpoo/lastmap2.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
