On my lunch today, I picked up a box I had ordered from a bank near my work. I asked if they had loose rolls and they said no....wait a minute....then told me they had $70 worth. I had $40 left over, so I bought 4 rolls. As I drove back to work, I opened one and found a 40%er. Then, on the third roll, I found 4 Franklins, 3 40%ers, and a really cool 1936 German coin with Paul Von Hindenburg on the obverse!! Needless to say, I went back and used the ATM for additional funds and bought the other three rolls...nothing else interesting. All seven rolls were in dated paper wrappers. One of the rolls had nothing in it but twenty 1976 commemoratives.....odd! I thought that 8 keepers was pretty darned good for coming out of a single hand roll.....especially with 4 Franklins. Then, as it turns out, the German coin is 90% silver, a 5 Reichs Mark propaganda coin. It is slightly smaller in diameter than a US half, but quite a bit thicker.
