Message:: [QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 3075603, member: 27832"]The paragraph I cited says: You're right, this doesn't say that String will "roll" your coins. It just says that they will pick them up, whether in bags or bins, and process them (sending you payment via ACH). Now, maybe that just means counting them and then sending them somewhere else to be rolled -- but that seems like a really silly thing for a manufacturer of rolling machines to do. I don't pretend to understand the exact economic arrangements for collecting, counting, rolling, and redistributing coins. I also am not trying to claim that every roll machine-wrapped in N.F. String and Son paper was rolled in a String facility; since they sell rolling equipment and paper, that's obviously not true. But this statement on their Web site, coupled with the fact that they're selling rolls of nearly-full-weight silver coins on eBay, makes me think that they're doing at least some processing themselves -- and that they're making some effort to sift out silver as they do. Maybe they have processing facilities elsewhere, and just ship the silver back to Harrisburg; I don't know. You've aroused my curiosity, but not enough to call them up, at least so far...[/QUOTE]
