Coin wrapper

Each branch then put the coins into paper wrappers with tightly sealed ends.

[1] On 22 June 1901, James Rice applied for a patent (number 720070) for what he called a "Coin Bunching Machine".

Rice described his invention by stating that it was a "efficient manner means for bunching together any preferred number of coins of a selected denomination and holding them in position whereby they may be very conveniently and expeditiously wrapped or covered with a paper jacket.

[4] By October 1908 the first fully automatic coin wrapping machine was created and a patented was applied for.

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.

[9] In the Eurozone, empty plastic rolls are used at banks in every denomination, with five-coin staggered rows.

The five-coin rows and transparency make quick verification of contents possible, with a high degree of certainty.

This results in 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.

Customers can change bills into coin rolls easily using automatic money changers at Japanese banks.

When depositing or changing, the bags are weighed at the bank to check they contain the right number.

Some collectors also save coins of bullion value, such as copper pennies and silver half-dollars.

One kind is distinguished by color, while the other is adorned with a light blue background with the Flag of the Bahamas.

See below: In the United States, it is also common for coin dealers and online bullion shops to produce their own rolls of pre-1965 silver coinage for the purpose of selling them to customers; these rolls may be the same size and face value as those produced by banks, or may exist in half, full and double sizes.
