New String Boxes?

The new?

It's just a box.
Nothing of dire significance.
Same paper rolls.
Same percentage (28%+ :mrgreen: ).

Anyone seen these yet or am I late on this?

I haven't seen one yet but I haven't gotten any boxed pennies in a couple months. I'm ready to get my hands on one now. I like it.

Maybe the new design uses less ink?

Cool...i sure wouldn't mind a change-up like that,it is getting old breaking open Loomis boxes day after day. String rolls are much easier to crack than Loomis rolls too.

I haven't seen a box like this in my area. The ones I would get don't even have holes in the top, just cardboard.

Picked up 2 boxes this afternoon, both this new style. The teller said that this was from the first delivery of the new style, they came in last week with a few of the old style mixed in. She commented that all coin denominations were changed to this new style of labeling, colors and contents are the same. ;)

I bet the boxes of halves look sweet :thumbup:

All the denominations I pick up are now in the new style box shown above, except halves. They are still in the old style box.
