This is a Roll Cracker.

"In less than one minute, a full bag (100 rolls) of any denomination of coin rolls is broken open and separated from its wrapper."

And upon a little research today, I decided to look on the N. F. Strong & Son website to learn more about them, and their role in the coin circulation process, if any at all. Their site will not disappoint.

N. F. String

Just thought I would share this little tidbit with you guys.

Probably the tool may ebayers use to sale the "unsearched"rolls of coins

I highly doubt that an eBay seller would be so dishonest.

No doubt an awesome machine, but at 10K+ and 1,500 pounds most can only dream.

I find it ironic that in addition to selling coin-related items, String & Son also sells "Cat Scratchers"...

Cat Scratchers| N. F. String

:dontknow:

With all the cardboard we accumulate from CRHing, we should have been making cat scratchers all along! Those String & Son guys are on to something!

Uh-oh. I wonder if some of the MWRs I pick up are really these:

coin wrapper| N. F. String

Apologies for replying to my own post.

This morning I asked one of my regular branches to order me a box of halves. The teller I work with said fine, but we have $250 worth here already. This branch hardly ever has any halves. I decided that getting $250 now was better than getting $500 in about a week and agreed to come by and get them. All $250 was in the yellow NF String wrappers that I see when I order boxes from this branch (they use Brinks, but the boxes and rolls are all NF String and don't say anything about Brinks). I asked how they came to have these rolls since they never keep any on hand. Was told that a customer brought them in. All the rolls were perfectly crimped just like MWRs. Hmmmmmm

I got 50 rolls of cents the other day. Some were N.F. String and Son rolls. They were less productive than other rolls but I did manage to pull a wheat cent out of the 18-20 N.F. String and Son rolls. The other 30 or so rolls produced 6 wheat cents.
