4-Pack PM Company Color-Coded Coin Counting Tubes for Pennies Through Quarters in Blue, Green, Orange, and Red (05032)

Shauna: The product is not accurate at all. If it was designed for a specific currency, that has not been noted on the product anywhere. Had to modify it to work to the canadian currency.

Sweet Jimmy C: Count your coins first as filling to the top level is more than needed... the ‘quarter’ section is at least 2 quarters too tall and the one for dimes is about 3 too many if you fill it - does make the wrapping easier so the ‘count first’ issue isn’t a biggie.

billkaz: Rolled up all my various change jars that I've been carting around for the last decade. These make filling the tubes so much easier, but you have to count out the coins. Seems Canadian coins are a hair thinner than the US coins.

DOUG: I thought these would be a bit gimmicky, but they worked great. My son and I rolled over $400 worth of change in about an hour.

I just finished using these counting tubes to wrap nearly $1,400 in change I've accumulated over the years. These counting tubes are really amazing. I used preformed wrappers ( Royal Sovereign Assorted Coin Preformed Wrappers, 216 Count (FSW-216N) ) and wrapping coins was a breeze. Heck, it was almost fun. It took me four hours to wrap my quarters, dimes, and nickels.

I had originally looked at some of the expensive (over $100) coin-sorting-wrapping machines that are available, but for $17, I figured I'd give these tubes a try first. One of the things that made these tubes work so well for me was that I had already separated my coins--so that made using the tubes very easy. Just to be clear, these tubes DO NOT sort coins. These tubes are meant to wrap only one coin size at a time. Sure, if you're wrapping quarters and if you have smaller coins in your quarter pile, the tube will allow them in the roll--but then you'll be placed on Interpol's and FBI's most wanted list for trying to trick the banking industry out of a few measly cents when you take those rolls to your bank.

Seth Johnson: Years ago, I managed an illicit gambling casino in Manilla and we use a very similar hand-made product to count the various coins that would come in. I have to admit, the scale of this enterprise meant that we were handling far more coinage than paper currency. The volume was sufficient enough that we needed a method of counting out coins quickly and somewhat accurately.

In our situation, we had a guy several miles away who fabricated our coin-counting tubes out of bamboo and dropped them off one day by motor scooter. They worked great. Our staff of 12 would manually sort the centavos and use the bamboo tubes to count the stacks of coins before rolling in paper that we would deposit in the state-run bank.

I was new to this culture and depended on my staff to watch for corruption. Late one evening, I heard a commotion in the coin-counting room down in the basement. I was concerned the evening crew had brought in roosters again to fight, which had been prohibited after too many matches where both fighters had died and disputes arose over which bird technically died first. I rushed down there to put a stop to the rooster fight and found my head of security had one of...
