A coin wrapper, sometimes known as a bank roll or roll is a paper or plastic container for a number of coins. In the United States, empty rolls are available free at most banks in every denomination (though it is becoming increasingly difficult for half dollar and dollar to be readily made available). The rolls come flat and one side will have to be folded to allow for coins to be placed inside. When the roll is full, the top side will need to be folded. Typically, the full rolls are brought back to the banks in exchange for currency or to be deposited.
In the Eurozone, you also find empty plastic rolls at the banks in every denomination, with five-coin staggered rows. Their main advantages are :
- Reliability
- Their five-coin staggered rows and transparency make quick verification of contents possible.
- Certainty
- They provide a high degree of certainty (transparency, reliable and legible contents).
- Cost effective
- The high certainty means less time spent processing coins, while the solidity and two-way closure system increase the number of times the coin roll can be used, effectively reducing its overall cost.

Famous quotes containing the word coin:
“Washington society has always demanded less and given more than any society in this country—demanded less of applause, deference, etiquette, and has accepted as current coin quick wit, appreciative tact, and a talent for talking.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
