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.

400$ of Gum Ball Quarters
I have roughly $400 (calculated by weight) of gum ball machine quarters. What should I be looking for other than silver?

Anything worth looking for 2000-2024?
I'm about to go through a bag of coins that are all 2000-2024 and throw them in my dump bucket, and I would like to know if there is anything I should look out for.

Only interesting find in a $25 dollar box
It’s been rightfully named the Jesus penny

First-Ever CR Hunt
So, not the silver cache I was dreaming of, but one 1969D, and what I think is a very toned 1971D. Should I hold on to the coppery looking 71?

What's up Benji? Nice to see ya!
From a box of half's. 3/4 of the way through it. Just when you think hope is lost and you are wondering why the fuck am I doing this? You get a little soul lifter in a roll . I'm hooked

Advice on half dollars needed
Hey guys, just got into half dollars after I picked up $60 for the first time and got 4 silvers. I’m only a member of comerica and I’ve been calling around for half dollars, and there’s a chase i plan to go to as they said they can exchange my old rolled coins for other halves, but do you guys just ask random banks for half dollars or just ones you are members of?

First Time CRH’n
Newbie and occasional coin hunter. This is my first organized coin hunt after grabbing $90 in quarters and. $40 in dimes.
My youngest is always looking over my shoulder when I’m browning this sub so she’s going to assist and our goal/hope is to find one piece of junk silver for each denomination.
I’ll post results once we’re done. Thanks to all here for the inspiration.

What banks are y’all able to get your rolls from? I used to do Wells Fargo but they don’t want to order or even sell me rolls anymore

“Sure, I have half dollars. Glad to get them out of my drawer.”
Yeah, buddy. Stopped by a branch I seldom go to; one teller had $320 of CRW halves, another had $50. Both happy to get rid of them. Bought all of ‘em.
Five 40%ers, three (impaired, but hey) proofs.
Better than I’ve had out of three yellow-label Loomis boxes before this. I fully expected these to be picked over. First roll was 100% 1971 all aligned.
Always take the halves if they’ve got ‘em.

My theory on half dollar rolls
I know I gotta pretty small sample size, but i noticed when banks have a full box of customer wrapped halves available, I never find silver. However, when they have an odd number like 110 or 70 in halves I can find some silver. What are your thoughts? Called a bank just before they closed and they said they had 110 i could get when they open monday.
