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.

A small fraction of my shiny pennies from the N.F. String and Son's Giveaway.
The video quality isn't great, but I feel like it gets the point across.... My Northeastern bank rolls were loaded with ones like these going all the way up through the 70s,80s,90s and early 2000s.
I ran out of flips pretty quick and have like 10 empty zyns containers packed with red shiny pennies.
Normally I might find one per roll from the 60s or 70s but for a few weeks every bank roll I got had like 10+ of these or similar 15-20+ year old pennies per roll.
I found quite a few 59's and found one red shinyboi 2000 wide AM.
Super sad to see the good times end and I've been getting skunked on pennies lately.

How to start?

Does anyone on this subreddit ever trade coins?
I just found my 3rd West Point quarter. I'm getting ahead of myself, but know I'll find duplicates before I complete all 10. Will want to trade duplicates with others if that's an option.

Think I will send the '85 S Ptoofs into citculation..
Got this proof set in a lot, def took on corrosive damage (see penny)
... all other coins had reactions that did not fade in acetone nor pure alcohol...
Should I give them free roam?

Not REALLY a ‘CR’H…
More of a buckets and bins hunt….
Went through $300 in Ikes, SBAs, Sacs, and Pressies, found a few goodies, but nothing spectacular
3-SBA 1979 DD D’s 1- SBA 1979 clogged S 1- Ike 1976 wide letters 5- Pressies with A/B rare variations
And, went through $250 in State, Territory, and America the Beautiful quarters, nothing special and found ZERO Ws. But, I have about $40 in bicentennial quarters.
I think the majority of the $500 will be released back into the wild. No reason I can think of to keep any of it 🤷🏻♂️

Bicentennial in good condition
I took out $100 worth of quarters today to hunt for silver and Ws, but this Bicentennial caught my eye due to the condition. It looked better than most and had ridges. No silver, but adding this to my collection was a silver lining.
