I can't seem to find the answer to this in the forum. What do the coin boxes from different banks and/or coin distributors look like? For instance, my first box of cents (from BoA) had holes in it and had red writing on it. The second box of cents from a different bank did not have holes and had red writing on it. Obviously, the boxes with company logos are self evident. I would take a pic of my empty boxes, but I am at work. Here are some pics I found on the Internet.

It all depends what the bank gets that week. You may go to a bank and get boxes
With holes ( NF string) for months. Then one day you ask for a box and get loomis ( no holes) or brinks box (clear plastic) rolls and says brinks right on the box. That's all I have ever seen , or seen posted by anyone.

Thank you, that is what I was looking for.

What is "NF string"?

NF String and Sons is a company that manufactures coin rolling supplies such as wrappers and boxes. Occasionally on this forum someone will say his/her bank uses "NF String" boxes, which can be very misleading. NF String only manufactures the supplies, they are not in the coin processing business. For example, in my area all banks are supplied by Loomis, and here Loomis uses NF String products.

The box style doesn't matter, the supplier does. The code stamped on the bottom of the box is more important in my opinion.

110% correct. If you get a whole Indian you get a free roll. So, just like when you were a kid look for the Indian. :tongue3:
