<p>[QUOTE="kookoox10, post: 1312569, member: 31129"]The previous two posters gave great brief breakdowns of the denominations. But really, there's not much of an art to roll searching. If you know what you're looking for, it could become a really nice side hobby. And it doesn't hurt to narrow your search down to certain denominations. I generally do cents and halves if they're available. Quarters are tough to find any sort of silver, which by the way is what most searchers try to look for. But with the watered down content from the state quarter program, it's tough! </p><p><br /></p><p>A little word of advice, pick designated "pick up banks" spots and designate "dump banks". Like it's name implies, you want make sure you don't dump your searched stuff where you pick up new boxes. A lot of newbies make this mistake. And mark your rolls with a dot or other trademark, just in case you get some of your old rolls you will know to pass them by.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
