Those rolls are keepers (the paper). I always keep the old wrappers when I come across them. When I come upon another CRH'er in my area, I'll litter the banks with old rolls filled with dumps. It is usually enough to discourage the cherry picking tellers and the occasional CRH'er especially the old timers who only gather rolls at banks as they are unable to deal with boxes. Having to wade through the littered dumps is enough to discourage first-timers looking for a quick score.

Good score !! I haven't been on a road trip in nearly a year, so it's been a long time since I've run across one of those type of rolls,I certainly remember the thrill though.

That's a very, very cruel thing to do. I like it!

I like to encourage others who have found this hobby, but just not in my neighborhood. Also, if you get rolls with a person's account number/name/phone number, don't be afraid to contact the person and sell his paper rolls back. I've done this when I picked up about $200 in this guy's dumps. It was the banks policy to record his name/phone/account number on the rolls. The only problem is that they didn't black out the information when they sold it to me. I ended up selling the paper rolls back to him to protect his privacy while getting some of the silver for my stash.

I think a better idea would be to destroy 'm. If I had turned in rolls to my bank, with my personal info on them, and they made it back into the publik's hands, I would be p'd off.
If a customer goes back to the bank b'ng about that, could mean the end of your crh'ing there.

No. He was paying for his privacy. He was more than happy to hand over some silver for them in return. When I contacted him to let him know that his personal information was out there, I originally offered to destroy them but thought he should know. He wanted them back to confront the bank. I asked if there was a reward. I didn't set a price. The bank was out of my way (20 miles away) and I had only been there once on a road trip to dump. I didn't care about burning any dump bank privileges. He voluntarily offered up the silver for his wrappers.

Anyway, not to hijack Phrostie's thread. He scored silver from some crusty wrappers. :headbang:

nice find phrostie!! I haven't found any rolls marked older than 71 yet. I once found a bunch of rolls from a collection that were marked 71-86. All the rolls were solid for each year, too bad they weren't 70 and earlier though.
