UK Penny in US cent rolls

Franklin keeps finding UK pennies in US CRW rolls. The must be hard to fit in the rolls. Do you find them too? As you can see they a larger than the US ones.

I find them all the time. I dont know who puts in the effort to get those in the rolls. I think its neat that all the coin denominations go together to make a bigger picture

The process by which banks create money is so simple the mind is repelled. With something so important, a deeper mystery seems only decent." John Kenneth Galbraith 1975

I found 4 so far. They are more common than George V coins (in Canada).

Bye.

I've found more than 5 Barbados pennies. No Brits.
I did it. I've been crazy enough to sort through 10,000 rolls of pennies. Almost makes you think, "some people will do anything to build up a coin collection."

I found one years ago when working as a cashier in a bank roll. None since I started sorting.

I find a lot of them in CWR. They always jam in the Ryedale as they are too big to fit through the comparator. Coins start going all over- cause me a fit.
