What Other Stuff Have You Found in a Coin Roll?

[MIhunter]

I am always amazed at the extras or in place ofs that I find in coin rolls, what have you found?

A penny (sometimes flattened) added to a machine nickel roll
A Mexican 20 cent coin added to a machine nickel roll
A CWR of halves with a halve replaced by a SBA dollar
I live near Canada so I see a lot of Canadian 1, 5, and 10 cents coin in rolls. (I don't buy quarters)
A golf ball marker in place of a nickel in a CWR (that roll had a buffalo in it, so no complaints!)
A Cayman Island 10 cent coin (worth 12 cents US) in place of a nickel in a machine roll

Most of the time if the roll is short the replacement coin/object is of equal or greater value, but not always

I've seen hundreds of dollars worth of Canadians, a couple SBA in half rolls, plastic coins, washers, many foreign coins. A good list of found ones can be seen here http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,144959.0.html

I hate when I got a piece of wood/hard cardboard which took place of 10 dimes in my brinks roll... very dissapointed in brinks dime rolls... Always an issue, being shorted, junk in rolls, etc... And... they do not even produce silver dimes well either! hh

 

[MIhunter]

Does your bank make good if you are shorted? I don't mean if you buy one or two coins per purchase, but greater than >$1?

Found a British 5p (small size) in a dime roll, found a Bahama one cent coin in a box of pennies, once I managed to find a dime in a brinks roll of nickels, found a nickel worn slick till it was about half the thickness of a normal nickel and managed to buy a roll of small dollars in with a lot of "things that the coin dealer wouldn't take" a teller offered me, in there was a silver quarter in a roll of Agony dollars.

I have found an "Old Glory" button in a roll of dimes.

I have also found a plastic toy dime with "copy" on it, in a Stings dime box.

Magicians coin/half dollar

And what I think was human feces througout one dime roll. Smelled like .....

Dirty stuff that I won't mention along with "play money" and foreign coins. That is about it. Now, bags are a different story.

Am I the only one who has found guitar picks??

I've found at least 4-5 of them in half dollar rolls.... That and lots of game tokens and of course foreign coins.

 

[jjaddict]

I've picked up 3 cents shaved down to the size of dimes, grrrr..... all that work for 9 cents profit, must be the doing of a kid.

 

[GimmeSomeSilver]

I found a button in my brinks dimes yesterday...it took up the space of 5 dimes!

I have found a guitar pick in a roll of string halves.

 

[alpha105]

I wont bother mentioning Foreign.....but yep, a guitar pick....wrong denomination coins....all from boxes.

My favorite "Skunk" bag of half dollars from a bank....no silver, but a ton of those little "golden" presidential dollars.

 

[ancesthntr]

German 5 mark coin in a roll of halves; Panamanian half in a roll of halves (same dimensions as ours, probably also made by our mint); an English large cent (1947) in a roll of halves; a very dirty dime in a roll of pennies; some foreign nickels in rolls of nickels (not counting many Canadian ones). No guitar picks, buttons or feces, thankfully (esp. the latter).
