Roosevelt Dime Rolls 2000 to present

THERE ARE NO - as in NONE - release dates for minor coinage (pennies, nickels, dimes).

This means that whenever one of our armoured car companies gets in new minor coins, assuming they notice and remember, they call and that is when they become instock. We then have them empty machines and only run the new product that we purchased - ensuring 100% pure rolls.

All (EVERYTHING) on ebay is rolled/wrapped by armoured car companies and they may or may-not be mixed with circulated coin.

Dime rolls are $5.00 face value (50 coins).

Boxes also available.

We try to stock rolls that are in green/white bank rolls, but as inventory decreases with some rolls are in other wrappers, plastic tubes or hand wrapped. All are still UNCIRCULATED.

If we are out of something, just message me and let me know what you need.



Designs

Obverse: The current design on the obverse of the dime first appeared in 1946, soon after the death of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The Roosevelt dime was released on the late President's birthday which was January 30th of that year. FDR's left-facing bust was created by the Mint's Chief Engraver John R. Sinnock.

Shortly after his death in 1945, citizens began writing to the Treasury Department requesting his likeness be depicted on a coin. The dime was a good choice because Roosevelt supported the March of Dimes, a program that raised funds for research to find a cure for polio. Roosevelt contracted the polio virus when he was 39 years old.

Reverse: Mr. Sinnock also designed the reverse of this coin: a torch signifying Liberty, with an olive branch on the left signifying Peace, and an oak branch on the right, signifying Strength and Independence.

The dime is the smallest, thinnest coin we use today. The name of the coin sounded the same as it does today, but the spelling was "disme" because the word is based on the Latin word "decimus," meaning "one tenth." The French used the word "disme" when they came up with the idea of money divided into ten parts in the 1500s, although they hadn’t implemented the idea.

Lady Liberty reigned on the dime in different forms for many years. Usually just her head was shown, but her full body, seated on a rock, was used during the 1800s. She was shown with wings on her head from 1916 to 1945, often called the Mercury dime, to symbolize freedom of thought.
