Coin Wrappers Free At Banks

A roll of 25 U.S. dollars in 1 dollar coins.

Banks often accept rolled coins — or you could spend or sell them, as explained below. Banks That Accept Rolled Coins. Many banks will accept your coins only if they are rolled. They will often provide the coin wrappers for free but usually charge a 5 to 10% fee to process the rolled coins. Bank of America. Fees for Bank of America. Many banks will give you coin wrappers for free, but you can also find cheap packs in various sizes at the dollar store. Once you’ve secured your coin wrappers and a full piggy bank, the fun begins. Feb 01, 2011  Which banks give out free coin wrap rolls? I've been told by a colleague that banks give out coin wrap rolls upon request. Was wondering if anybody had any knowledge of which banks offer this, as it'd be counterproductive to buy the rolls for my pennies.

Stack of coin wrappers for US Quarters

A coin wrapper, sometimes known as a bank roll or roll, is a paper or plastic container for a number of coins.

In the United States, empty rolls are available free at most banks in every denomination (though it is becoming increasingly difficult for half dollar and dollar to be readily made available).The rolls come flat and one side will have to be folded to allow for coins to be placed inside. When the roll is full, the top side will need to be folded. Typically, the full rolls are brought back to the banks in exchange for currency or to be deposited. The Royal Canadian Mint uses check weighers to verify the number of coins per roll.[1]

In the Eurozone, empty plastic rolls are used at banks in every denomination, with five-coin staggered rows. Their main advantages are:

Reliability
Their five-coin staggered rows and transparency make quick verification of contents possible.
Certainty
They provide a high degree of certainty (transparency, reliable and legible contents).
Efficiency
The high certainty means less time spent processing coins, while the solidity and two-way closure system increase the number of times the coin roll can be used, effectively reducing its overall cost.

In Japan, machine-wrapped, plastic coin rolls are circulated almost exclusively, as handmade coin rolls are rare. Each roll holds 50 coins. Customers can change bills into coin rolls easily using automatic money changers at Japanese banks.

In the United Kingdom, coin rolls are not used. Instead, small plastic bags are provided free of charge at banks which are filled by the customer with the appropriate number of the same value coin as printed on the bag. When depositing or changing, the bags are weighed at the bank to check they contain the right number.

Searching rolls[edit]

Often, coin collectors will ask for full rolls from the bank to search the contents in hopes of finding an interesting piece. Some collectors also save coins of bullion value, such as copper cents and silverhalf-dollars. This practice is called coin roll hunting. It is also known as cherry picking. Full rolls are also requested by vendors to make change.

Fraud[edit]

Bank rolls are vulnerable to a variety of scams, such as rolling slugs of no value or coins of a lesser value.[2] See also coin rolling scams.
