Printable coin wrappers

Print your own coin wrappers and save a trip to the store if you just need a few.

Items needed:
Printouts from the attached PDF or Powerpoint file
scissors
adhesive tape

Print out the sheet or sheets you need and cut each wrapper out more or less precisely along the outer edge as shown in the yellow note box in the upper right corner of the picture.

Step 1 Fold

Fold the wrapper roughly one third of the way down to show the alignment mark. Fold it squarely by aligning the edges.

Nearly all banking establishments will open your coin wrappers and recount them using their own machines, unless you are one of their banking customers. And all of them will take your banded paper money out and check both sides of each bill before counting them because of the amount and type of good counterfeiters out there.

Good places to take rolled money is the grocery store, there they weigh each roll to make sure they have the right amount in them.

The best places to take your loose coins is a casino and the bank, they count them and don't charge like coinstar and other change countr you find at markets.

Will the bank accept "non-official" wraps?

I just found out my credit union has a machine I can use.

the bank will accept loose coins or any way of bundling them together (wraps, bag, etc) the wraps are only for convenience. theres no standard on them. however, they will probably take all the coins out and put them through a counter to prove your homemade wraps show the correct amounts

My local bank of America branch took a whole pile without a problem. Since you can buy them from several stores, all of which are different styles i doubt there is an "official" wrap. Some are made to hand-wrap, others fit into machines, etc. The bank only cares that they're not loose, and even some banks will run them through a counter/sorter for you, no wraps needed. Or you can pay to do it at those grocery store kiosks.

Umm, the correct rounding-off of Pi (3.141592653589273... etc. to an infinite number of places) is 3.1416. I just rounded up to the most commonly used short form. Some savant remembered 10's of thousands of digits of this! Amazing. Here's a cool picture that turned up in a google search: http://pi.ytmnd.com/

I'm not following where you're going with these comments. I did visit your site. Bottom line is whether you use 3.1415 or 3.1416 it won't make any difference given the limited accuracy of the rest of the process. I just used the number we learned in grade school for the approximation of Pi. Powerpoint only goes down to 1/24th of an inch resolution on its fixed grid settings and hand-aligning the edges is also not a high precision situation. 1/10 of a mil (if you're using inches) is just not going to make any difference.
