<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 210752, member: 4626&quot;]There was a time that coins would leave the coins in smaller canvas sacks of about 4000 to 5000 coins, depending on the denomination.&nbsp; (Back when full sized dollar coins were minted, they would be shipped in bags of 1000.)&nbsp; Private companies would then roll them for sake of banks, or vending machines would just use the sacks as is.&nbsp; But a while ago they stopped doing that, and started shipping them in giant sacks (they weigh several tons and are moved by forklift) instead.&nbsp; If you want, you can still get some of the leftover sacks (just the sacks, no coins inside) the Mint had when they changed over; they&#039;re selling them from their site for $8.95 each.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again though, coins have never left the Mint in rolls, that&#039;s always been something done to them <i>after</i> leaving the Mint.&nbsp; Also, the sacks of state qaurters, half dollars, Sacagawea dollars, and presidential dollars, you can buy from the Mint are bagged by a licensed company after they leave the Mint and not but the Mint itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
