Picked up some coins today, including some nickel rolls I've never seen before. These are machine wrapped $1 nickel rolls. Anybody seen these before?

Curiouser and curiouser... The most recent date was 1985; most of them in the 1960's. The crimped part of the wrapper said "UNIQUE COIN WRAPPERS - LAS VEGAS".

I seem to recall buying rolls of nickels like these at the Vegas casinos back in the day for the nickel slots. Can't imagine how they made their way to the midwest.

If the wrappers were marked















If the wrappers were marked, Las Vegas, could the have come from the casinos? They could be from the slots, and have come from all over the country.

I found a $2.00 roll with a similarly looking dated-looking wrapper that said "Hilton" on it, which I assume came from the hotel and/or casino. My guess, anyway.

sell em on ebay next time.

I have found a 3 dollar dime roll before - thats it. 20 dollar ike rolls, and 20 dollar half rolls are both more common than the latter.
