HOW TO - Make coin wrap rolls

Dimitrios writes - "Having to sort coins each month for my side business, I wanted a quick solution to the trouble of doing this with torn paper, and handwriting the denominations on the rolls. I searched the internet thinking that surely this must be downloadable somewhere, only to find it wasn't. Sure, you can buy these rolls ready made at an office store, but that's like a box of 5,000 boring rolls. Instead I designed my own, and made it available to the public for free..." - Link.

Many banks will not accept rolls that aren't made with "offical" rolls.

I just take them to the Coinstar machine at the supermarket. No fee is you cash them in for gift cards (starbucks, home depot, etc.)

I used to work for a bank and we always gave out tons of coin wrappers for free. I think most banks do.
