I made my own. PVC pipe with a slit down the middle, cap on the end. Slide 5 rolls in, slice quickly with razor and dump, breaking the rolls.

Here's what I ask Santa for every year.. the RollCracker 1000. Weighs in at 1500 pounds.
Too bad it doesn't come in Ryedale Red. There are other roll breaking machines.. but none of them are very cheap.
Or you could use the RollWhacker 1000. Just put a bunch of rolls in a canvas bank bag.. then whack it on the concrete floor several times.. then pour out the loose pennies. This is the budget version most of us can afford.
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more
