Maybe they just took out the Indians

Curious String box...I broke the glued seal and found this. The roll in front of the twisted one was also short, but had machine rolled ends.

Does it have an inspection stamp on the glued flap? It's a government job? It's how they are going to balance the budget....

I sort manly halves and I get shorted quite often. I'd guess on average of once every ten boxes 500 rolls. Pennies, hardly ever.

I don't mind the count being light. These boxes are usually good for a dime or two in the mix. Heck, I was just happy to get any boxes that weren't 2010/2011

Did the old "cross my fingers" trick today at the bank. While there, I asked for a box to look over tonight if work gets slow. I even closed my eyes for a second while crossing my fingers just wishing really hard that it wasn't a new zinc loaded box.

IT WORKED! I opened my eyes to see nice dark toned coins to my delight...but no enders in sight!

That's probably why all the banks in my area require me to bust open all of my machine wrapped rolls and run them through their counter before they will accept them.
