[QUOTE="NOS, post: 7447228, member: 2098"]I don't coin roll hunt too much these days but this is what I used to do to deal with shortages as I got tired of taking hits due to the negligence of whomever turned the rolls in before me. Now keep in mind banks bear (or should bear) culpability for not sizing the rolls prior to redemption by said negligent previous customers. A good teller will take a roll of dimes, quarters, halves, and dollar coins and measure them against their teller tray prior to acceptance. And maybe not all of what is brought in from a customer but a random sampling, at least. Anyway, what I'd do is go through one roll at a time and count out how many coins were in the roll by threes. If the roll was under I'd fill it back up with exactly how many coins were inside of it. If it was over I'd set the overage to the side and roll back up with the proper amount. The overages were generally used to pay for and replace what I wanted to keep from a roll. Now some may question this method and argue I should at least use the overages to fill the shortages. However, why should I continuously suffer and take a hit while at the same time not be able to enjoy the benefit of overages? The answers is, I shouldn't.[/QUOTE]
