So, where do you search your coins? I go through some driving in rush hour traffic. It's more stop than go anyway. I go through some eating lunch in my car, I get through alot this way. I do very few at home.

I did a couple of boxes on a long road trip with the family a while back. Wife drove while the kids and I searched. Worked well. I guess I do most of mine in the car.

I search what I can on the way home from the bank. I open some and search. Others I open while driving, so I don' tsearcht hem, but i get them out of their wraps and loose in the bag they are in. Then whenI get home it is easier and faster, since they are unwrapped.

I also search while on hold on the phone. And I unnwrap (Mostly pennies, but also my halves on the rare occassions I am foolish enough to order a few more boxes. I keep trying!) a lot during TV time. I don' tlook at them, just unwrap. Then I look again while on hold at work or even when I need to take 5 mintues to take a break from work.

While eating lunch? Does your sandwich bread turn black? No way I'd ever put something I touched in my mouth after touching dirty nasty coins.

I do 99% of my searching at home in front of the TV, the 1% is when I'm peaking through the holes as I'm putting the boxes in the car :). I tried searching while driving a couple times and didn't think it was a good idea, as I wasn't paying as much attention to the road and would rather not get into an accident cause I couldn't wait to look through a roll.

This should make for an interesting read, good topic! :thumbsup:

Search ALL my rolls & tellers lose halves while driving, in fact oft just go thru Bank Drive thru line (one closest to bank) and ask- get Halves; went just this morning to open an account in the bank that gave me 17 Rolls of Solid Silver last week- on way there stopped at 6 banks only 2 tellers had silver one 3 halves one was a %40'er the other 10 halves, two which were %40'ers.
Gonna hit the Silver Roll bank again this week so if they ask me for me account number will have one, do know they do have more rolls in Vault.

Handrolled halves searched in the vehicle. If I had 12 boxes of dimes, and a couple boxes of halves, I may have plopped down in front of the TV and try to get 'em done in as short of time as possible (couple hours.) Wife and kids permitting. Almost like a religious ritual. FFD

My room, and on occasion boxes pile up and it looks like a bank vault. Only on occasion though! ;D
