CRH in other countries?

The swedes C/R/H
the redcoats are clad-lova's so they use bags
CRH'ers in canada use magnets to discern between nickel steel and silver.

I'd apperciate anyone's personal imput: if you lived or traveled in a particular country, and went to the bank, were coins exchanged in rolls or bags? ALOT of people have been to Mexico, yet noone has spoken if'n they use bags or rolls.
EVEN if you have not C/R/H'd in that country, IF YOU KNOW if they use rolls, please mention it.
 

The Euro countries use rolls, but there is nothing to CRH for, other than errors and maybe Vatican Euros (which have a high premium and are NIFC). England changed their currency in the 70s, making all silver be a different size than the current size. Their 1 and 2 pence coins (pre-1992) are bronze (97%, so higher than US). However, it is illegal to melt any coin with a king or queen in Britain, making the coppers have a melt ban. The coppers are commonly sent to France for melting, as there is no law against exporting them I think. Sweden is a good place to CRH, along with Switzerland as they both have quality silver to be found. Poland doesn't have much as far as CRH, but the 2008 5 zlotych is a key date (like the 2009 nickels, no value yet, but low mintages). I was in Poland for a month to visit family, and only found one 2008, while finding hundreds of 2009 (put back into circulation). Mexico had circulating silver longer than any other nation, until 1995, with the 10 peso. It has more silver then a 40%. It is .925 silver on the inside, and aluminum bronze on the outside.
 

There was a thread on here a while back about a gentlmen CRhing in Okinawa(spelling again) that was a pretty good read, I know some of the older members might remember it, I enjoyed reading it, I don't believe I have seen him post again since then. I'm sure someone else besides me remembers it. HH, Maverick.

the dude doing in Japan was on a base, and he was buying US coins.
 

Has anyone had any luck with these in Mexico?

"In 1993, coins of the new currency (dated 1992) were issued in denominations of 5, 10, 20 and 50 centavos, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 nuevos pesos. The 5 and 10 centavos were minted in stainless steel and the 20 and 50 centavos in aluminium bronze. The nuevo peso denominations were bimetallic, with the 1, 2 and 5 nuevos pesos having aluminium bronze centres and stainless steel rings, and the 10, 20 and 50 nuevos pesos having .925 silver centers and aluminium bronze rings. In 1996, the word nuevo(s) was removed from the coins. New 10 pesos were introduced with base metal replacing the silver centre. The 20, 50, and 100-peso coins are the only currently circulating coinage in the world to contain any silver."

Mexican peso - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I haven't tried those yet, but I do have 500+ centavos (worth about a penny each) I have gotten from the banks down there.
Also, if you plan on going to a bank down there, be prepaired to spend at least 30 min. It's set up in the same way as the dmv (with them calling your number).
