| I think you can just ask your bank for some. |

Do you have more time or $'s?
Make a pattern then use scissors and tape. You can cut out 10 to 15 layers with scissors, more if you have a paper cutter.
I've done this for all coin denominations using paper bags, about three minutes to cut them (10-15 layers each cutting) once you have the pattern.
600/15 x 5min = 3 hours 15 minutes - I'm allowing extra time to develop your technique, you'll get quicker with practice.
It takes some time to label the home made wrappers and wrap coins.
Add in another hour or so.
I've never had a bank refuse them, usually they remark how it's a neat idea.

| I say just skip the rolls and go to the post office and get their free flat rate boxes once they are filled just tape them up real well. I used to roll but it is a pain, it is much easier to just dump them in a box and sell by weight. Also the weight can tell you how many you have if that wasn't obvious. |

I'm wrapping them to store. A box of $25 is enough weight for me 
The Staples cost is OK as I do not have Sam's club down in the Southern end of the Willamette valley
I have about $450 in copper now with some purchased 68# boxes |

Welcome to the forum!
1. If there is a thrift or dollar store near you they might sell coin wrappers.
2. When I get customer wrapped penny rolls from the bank I find that I can often re-use the wrappers.
3. I buy pennies in those $25 boxes and I use the boxes themselves for (loose) storage.
Good luck. |
