Bank checks rolls with magnet, for foreigns

Anyone had this happen to them? I've heard this is being done. News to me!

I've only had it happen once... with dimes.

My bank does not check rolls for foreigns- yet I do not get CWR. Typically(but i shouldn;t jynx myself), I go several(5-10+) boxes without a single coin, then oddly enough, I will get a box with 5+ foreigns in it. (dime boxes).

I also like the Canadian Toonie, something about the bi-metallic, large coin with polar bear in the middle. I think that is one of Canada's prettiest circulation coins, though I do like their quarters that have something other than the caribou on it.

I get close to one thousand foreign coins a year. Odd that the bank can sell me processed coins with foreigns, but refuse to accept them (foreigns) back.

No one rolls in my area.

the bank my buddy and I dump at hasa magnet on the coin counter. We always run our hand up under it tosee what we can find. Last week I found some Euros, Phenigs(sp?), canadian coins and a battery.

I'm in NVa...and TD Banks are best when it comes to dumping! Because there are many MANY other persons doing precisely the same thing I'm doing, these machines are in constant use. There are also an extremely heavy number of immigrants and foreign students/diplomats in my area and usually some foreign coins (and STEEL cents) in the removable magnet located in the 'cage' device used to filter the coins streaming from above into the counter's hopper. This cage is inserted into a hole cut for it in the big wooden case covering the counting machine. I 'turn on the charm' and ask to take a look and the teller will allow me to remove the magnet from the cage - and usually I'm granted not only a look but rights to the whole shooting match! I've collected coins from roughly 40 to 60 countries this way these past 4 years and as long as I can keep changing my operating procedure, I'm looking forward to several more.
