Don’t forget to bring the bank tellers doughnuts in the morning.

Coin Roll Hunting

• You probably searched pocket change when you were younger.

• We are upping the game here, it is a numbers game.

• Forget searching Nickels, Dimes, and Quarters. They are handled too much for someone not to have pulled out the valuable coins.

Coin Roll Hunting

• Coin Roll Hunting (CRH) is going through multiple rolls of coins looking for silver, proofs, error coins or building a collection.

• The more you do it, the chances go up you will find something.

• You need a friendly bank to order boxes of rolled coins for you (See Make Friends with your Banker)

Coin Roll Hunting

Order your coins ahead of time. Have pickup banks for your coins, never pickup and drop off your searched coins at the same bank. It will piss them off (See Make Friends with your Banker). Doughnuts are the only thing to drop off. Have separate drop off banks.
