Welcome to the world's largest Coin Roll Hunting community! Come meet other hunters, share your finds, give and get advice, and share in whatever else has to do with the hobby of Coin Roll Hunting (also known as Bank Roll Hunting).
Coin Roll Hunting, or "CRH," is the hobby of searching change pulled from circulation for collectible coins. The serious hobbyist usually obtains rolled coins from banks. Coin roll hunters (United States) obtain rolls of cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, half dollars, and sometimes dollars. We open the rolls and search for silver, copper, rarities, high quality coins or coins to complete a collection.

How Do I Get Coins To Search?
It is easiest to open a free or cheap bank account. Let the bank know your intentions to order perpetual coin orders, and make sure they are okay with it, or try the next bank. There should never be a fee for coin orders. There are plenty of banks out there if you know where to look and have the means to get there.
What Coins Do I Look For?
That depends... Perhaps CRH is something fun to do with the kids? Are you sorting through pennies for the rare indian heads or wheaties? Are you on a mission for free silver from rolls of half dollars, quarters, dimes, or even nickels? There are also those seeking errors, low mintage, or pieces for collections.
Silver Seekers: U.S. coin denominations of 10 cents or higher can quickly be searched by edge-checking the coin for a white metallic color. This is easy to see with a careful eye, as the edges contrast from the copper edges of post-1964 U.S. coins. U.S. war nickels are 35% silver, and require meticulous searching for years 1943-45.
Tips For Starters:
Wear Gloves, searching through large amounts of coins can be quite grimy.
Use A Magnifying Glass to better-view details on the coins to verify if there are keepers. Better yet, Use A Digital Microscope!
Consider a hand truck when picking up and dropping off heavy coin batches.
Get a strong bag or wheeled backpack to carry your coins in.
How Do I Return All These Coins After Searching?
This is easy if the bank has a free coin counter. Consider a bank (not the same one you order the coins from) that does. While you can return coins to a bank by re-rolling them, it takes time... and coin counting machines with fees can get a big chunk of your cash. Never return coins to the same bank you bought them from; it is bad etiquette.
What If My Bank Does Not Have A Coin Counting Machine?
There are coin wrappers and several coin sorters you can purchase.
Many banks require you to write your account numbers on the coin rolls. Making labels with your account number will streamline re-rolling coin.

Surprising first 2024 coin
I do a box of dollars and a roll of everything else each week, and I got my first 2024 coin today: an Illinois Innovation dollar.
I have yet to see any 2023 innovation Dollars, so I really wasn't expecting this.
And some day, I'll start getting pennies, nickels, etc.

Half Dollars
My bank never has half dollars. I have asked them to order half dollars for me but it's been like 5 months and they still haven't received them. What can I do to be able to look through more half dollars?

Possible roll collection dump
I think I either have uncirculated rolls of nickels that have been sitting around in a bank for 6 to 7 years or someone's collection of machine wrapped rolls. Some of them had the reverse sides of the nickels on both ends, so it was impossible to see what they were. None of the paper wrappers has anything written on them other than the standard blue printing. The hunt continues.

Results from the last few weeks!
Sorry it’s been a while! Had family issues that had to be dealt with. Here are the results from my last 5 bags of quarters and one bag of dimes. Nothing like the first bag of dimes lol. Out of 5 bags of quarters I found 7 S proofs. 1 W 2020 salt river. A 1964 and a Canadian 1961. Not great but not terrible I guess.
On a side note the bottom 1964 dime is in really nice shape!
