Today I found one of those little screens that go in a faucet. This made me wonder what some of the weirdest things you guy have found in a roll of pennies.

There was a Platinum "good luck" symbol from Thailand found a while back.
Maybe someone could post the thread link.
As far as non-cent finds, that one ranks right up there as weirdest, the Golden Indian stands out as Best-In-Roll from what I remember reading here.
My personal non-cent weirdest is a sticker covered plastic disk (tiddly wink/board game piece?) and those darn Dimes. |
There's profit if you melt things!!

| Interesting finds: error coins, coins with stickers on front or back, cut out coins, plastic coins, a clear plastic disk, counter stamped coins, foreign coins, dimes, a silver dime, nickels, quarters...yes I have found quarters in penny bags and a few wild Indians of course. Every bag is an adventure and I love the thrill of the hunt! |

It was in a dime roll rather than a penny roll. However, I was given the pleasure of finding one rather thick shirt button in place of three dimes. There's no way that was an honest mistake!

Highroller, He wanted to know what you found in ROLLS.
If you found keys, earrings, and paperclips in your rolls, I want to know where you are getting your rolls.
Now I do agree that bags have some of the oddest stuff in them. i have found dimes, nickels, quarters and a presidential dollar in penny bags. Also a button, a washer, plastic dimes and pennies, foreign coins from all over the world, a flattened penny and other odd things in bags.
As far as ROLLS go. A 5 Euro ( it is the size of a nickle so they had to work that to get it to fit) a Golf token(ball marker?) plastic coins and some pennies that were superglued together. 3 & 4 stuck together. And always a dime or two. |
You don't have to be the BEST you just have to be.......SLICK
