3.0 out of 5 stars Not very accurate, December 1, 2008

Maybe there's more variation in coin thickness than there used to be, with all the new designs, but I found it easy to be over or under by a coin or two with these. It's also very easy to confuse the penny and dime tubes, so you'll probably want to mark them.

On the plus side, these tubes are inexpensive and it's fairly easy to get the counted coins into the rolls. Aside from accuracy, the negative is that you still have to sort all your coins by hand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive and easy to count loose change, August 19, 2007

This product works well for counting your loose coins if you know how to use the product properly. Once you have filled the tube with coins up to the slot, place a corresponding paper wrapper near the tube opening, insert your index finger in the opposite wrapper opening to prevent the coins from falling out then tip both up... the coins fall neatly into the wrapper. Fold the wrapper ends closed and your done. Simple, fast and easy. I like to empty my loose change in the tubes at the end of the day and to have the holders stand up in a dresser drawer I drilled holes in a block of wood and inserted the tubes in the holes. This system works very well.

I bought this a couple years ago and have used it a number of times. It is definitely better then counting by hand, and it actually goes fairly quickly. The accuracy of these are probably +/- 2 coins. This is not necessarily the fault of the tubes, but the fact that coins can vary in size with gunk, being bent, or being worn down. For the most the bank will recount it and make the adjustment, for which I don't know why they just don't take coins in the first place, and there is no way I'm paying the 8% for Coinstar to do it.

Some coin wrappers work better than others, the product does not come with its own, but your bank should provide you with some.

All in all, it speeds up the process, and is has enough accuracy to be a viable solution.
