4 boxes of pennies or one bag of nickels? The bag of nickels would be a bank bag from the coin sorter so god knows what is in it. I am leaning towards getting this bag. Has anyone had success with bank bagged nickels?

Which banks do you folks get your bags from? I always sort nickel rolls and have had some success with finding buffalos and canadians, but have never tried bags. Any help would be appreciated.

I completely agree with frugalcanuck. No unwrapping roll after roll and they are easier/quicker to sort through than pennies. You can always turn in the nickels after you are done then go get the penny boxes to go through.
