Coin wrapper
A coin wrapper, sometimes known as a bank roll or roll, is a paper or plastic container for a number of coins.
In the United States, empty rolls are available free at most banks in every denomination.
The rolls come flat and one side will have to be folded to allow for coins to be placed inside. When the roll is full, the top side will need to be folded. Typically, the full rolls are brought back to the banks in exchange for currency or to be deposited. The Royal Canadian Mint uses check weighers to verify the number of coins per roll.
In the Eurozone, empty plastic rolls are used at banks in every denomination, with five-coin staggered rows. Their main advantages are:
;Reliability: Their five-coin staggered rows and transparency make quick verification of contents possible.
;Certainty: They provide a high degree of certainty.
;Efficiency : The high certainty means less time spent processing coins, while the solidity and two-way closure system increase the number of times the coin roll can be used, effectively reducing its overall cost.
In Japan, machine-wrapped, plastic coin rolls are circulated almost exclusively, as handmade coin rolls are rare. Each roll holds 50 coins. Customers can change bills into coin rolls easily using automatic money changers at Japanese banks.
In the United Kingdom, coin rolls are not used. Instead, small plastic bags are provided free of charge at banks which are filled by the customer with the appropriate number of the same value coin as printed on the bag. When depositing or changing, the bags are weighed at the bank to check they contain the right number.
Searching rolls
Often, coin collectors will ask for full rolls from the bank to search the contents in hopes of finding an interesting piece. Some collectors also save coins of bullion value, such as copper cents and silver half-dollars. This practice is called coin roll hunting. It is also known as cherry picking. Full rolls are also requested by vendors to make change.Fraud
Bank rolls are vulnerable to a variety of scams, such as rolling slugs of no value or coins of a lesser value. See also coin rolling scams.Amount in a roll in each country

In the United States, it is also common for coin dealers and online bullion shops to produce their own rolls of pre-1964 silver coinage for the purpose of selling them to customers; these rolls may be the same size and face value as those produced by banks, or may exist in half, full and double sizes.
