GB coin roll hunting

[josie 8]

Before the debut in june.

Like to know if their are coin rolls in GB here in ireland they only use plastic bag, just inquire one of the bank.

If it coin roll exist in GB any chance members in this forum might able to sell few.

And how many are in coin roll hunting if their is or already exist.

There were rolls to some extent in the old days, but bags, starting with paper and now plastic ziplock bags reign supreme.

Before paper was of course linen, and I have a few of them from Scotland.

Thanks Scott

So they all came in small plastic.

Either by the bank or by circulation so it goes mostly inside GB.

If collector from other country wants to hunt for variety and other their is some problem a little unlike coin roll

Rolls are more convenient for automatically knowing how much you have. But most Canadian banks roll coins in little plastic rolls that fit together, and they are like little trays for the coins. They are actually better than the USA paper rolls in that you can see the edge of the coin and they are re-usable. For some reason they still use paper rolls for cents, and I have gotten a few Canadian cent wrappers with USA cents in them this way.

Now UK banks poly bag most coins in fixed denominations, prior up to the 1980's or so they were in paper bags. Occasionally you will see wrappers from National Westminster or Lloyds bank with predecimal coins in them on eBay.

Saw onced in ebay wrap like paper or cardboadr roll 1967 penny.

To encounter one on predecimal coins today I think is minimal for other collector I think have placed them well.

Im just hinting on decimal coins in how to acquire them to look for variety when the book is out,since their are no rolls in GB its up to descent other to provide them if it arise in the future.
