<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FL_RacingGal, post: 242368, member: 7391&quot;]My bank also has a coin counting machine which is really perfect if you ask me. I buy rolls every day at different banks, search them and then dump them into the coin machine at MY bank. Yesterday I bought $60 in rolled coins, $20 at 3 different banks, and today I got back $58 from my bank after I kept the coins I wanted and then dumped the rest in the counting machine. Sometimes I buy a few rolls from my bank after I cash in my slip from the counting machine.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Yesterday I got a machine rolled, roll of dimes and since it&#039;s see-through, I spotted that silver dime right away. It was a pretty decent 1964. I have no clue how to grade coins but it wasn&#039;t really too heavily circulated. I haven&#039;t had much luck with quarters or halves. I have scored some 90% and 40% halves by asking at every bank I go into if they have any halves. I do better with loose halves than rolled. About 2 months ago, I got 43 rolls of halves at one bank one afternoon and they were all clad. Oh, I work on the road so it&#039;s easy for me to buy rolls every day without looking supscious or odd.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Today I bought only nickels and pennies. I keep all the copper pennies and nickels pre-1980. I have no clue why I chose 1980 but I did. I was keeping ALL the nickels but it got to be too much so I&#039;d rather just return the pennies and nickels I really don&#039;t want to buy more rolls to search. </p><p><br /></p><p>I also buy any Eisenhower dollars they have and I know they aren&#039;t really worth much over face value but they are actually hard to come by these days. This is all sort of like having a fun way to save money. Some is worth more than face value and some is not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t pass up on machine rolled coins because I find nickels from the 40s and 50s in almost very 1-2 rolls and a wheat penny in probably every 1-2 rolls. Then there&#039;s all those copper pennies per roll and roll searching is just a bunch of fun. You just never know when that silver dime or quarter will show up and they do. </p><p><br /></p><p>*~*Joey*~*[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
