How many coins go in a roll
The U.S. Mint’s Coin Count and Roll activity lists the standard roll counts, and every wrapper is printed with its coin and the value of a full roll:
| Coin | Coins per roll | Value of a full roll |
|---|---|---|
| Penny | 50 | $0.50 |
| Nickel | 40 | $2.00 |
| Dime | 50 | $5.00 |
| Quarter | 40 | $10.00 |
Carousel and Bank Checks Plus also sell wrappers for half dollars and dollar coins (Sacagawea at both, Eisenhower at Bank Checks Plus). Count by the roll value on the wrapper: a roll of quarters that holds $10.00 has exactly 40 coins.

Flat, striped or preformed wrappers
- Flat wrappers: open tubes that pop open with a squeeze and lay flat for storage. The denomination and roll total are stamped on both sides. They are the cheapest per wrapper and fold closed by hand at both ends.
- Flat striped wrappers: the same flat tube with a colored stripe that carries the denomination and roll total, so you spot the coin type from across a counter.
- Preformed wrappers: pre-crimped on one end for instant use. You drop the coins in and close only the top, which is faster when you wrap a lot of rolls. They pair with coin counting tubes, which are made for crimped end wrappers.
All of Carousel’s wrappers are made from natural, durable 60 pound kraft paper with weld-seam gluing, and each one is sized for a snug fit of its coin.

| Coin | Preformed wrapper color | Striped wrapper stripe |
|---|---|---|
| Penny | Red | Red |
| Nickel | Blue | Blue |
| Dime | Green | Green |
| Quarter | Orange | Orange |
| Half dollar | n/a | Brown |

How to wrap coins
- Sort the coins by type and pick the matching wrapper: check the coin name and the roll value printed on it.
- With a flat wrapper, put a few coins inside, then fold up the bottom of the paper to seal that end.
- Keep adding coins until the wrapper is almost full, leaving a little paper at the top.
- Fold the top over so both ends are closed. With a preformed wrapper the bottom is already crimped, so you only close the top.
- Do not count half-full rolls as full ones; keep them aside until you have enough coins.
These steps follow the U.S. Mint’s coin rolling activity. With a coin counting tube, you drop coins into the tube until the extra coins spill from the slot, which leaves a counted roll ready for a crimped end wrapper.
Coin tubes, trays and storage boxes
- Coin counting tubes: a set of tubes for pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters costs $16.59. They are abrasion resistant plastic, sorted by ABA colors, with instructions on the side of the packaging.
- Coin trays: stackable trays color coded by ABA standards, with the denomination and capacity etched into the side. A quarter tray costs $19.99, 2 cost $29.99 and 5 cost $59.99. Trays stack only on trays of the same coin.
- Storage boxes: corrugated boxes that hold 50 wrapped rolls, printed in ABA colors and shipped flat. Ten quarter storage boxes cost $24.99, or 50 for $99.99.

What color are coin wrappers?
Carousel preformed wrappers are red for pennies, blue for nickels, green for dimes and orange for quarters. Striped flat wrappers use the same colors plus a brown stripe for half dollars and grey for Sacagawea dollars.
