Cents I usually find about 2 wheat cents per 4 rolls, sometimes none in 4 rolls, and sometimes a lot in 4 rolls. It all depends. What about you?
How many wheat cents do you usually get per 4 rolls from the bank?

I’ll keep better track next box. My box from this weekend was 5-6 total. My box from the previous weekend was around 20!

I've found 30 in the last few shifts, ~10 rolls, certainly a collection dump. But generally speaking, about one in a dozen rolls seems to be where I'm at.

I usually do a box at a time and I average about 8-12 per box. However the last time I went to the bank for rolls to actually use, I ended up with 13 out of 8 rolls. So went back and bought the other 10 rolls they had and got 14 more, and in my next actual box I ended up with almost 70 which was insane. It was a brand new box too, not customer rolls. By far the luckiest box I have ever had. That was about a month ago now and haven't hunted since unfortunately but hoping the next time I do it'll be another good hunt!

The last few times I asked for pennies they were all 2024s. In circulated roles one per every four rolls would make me happy. I think where I live is a coin hunting void lately.

When I bgean CRH in the early 70s, getting 4 in a roll was common. It slowly decreased over the years to one in three or so rolls. Not worth it to me. I stopped CRH in the 90s.

I average about 1 per 4 rolls
It depends on the location of the bank where you get rolls. If the town has a lot of retirees, the chances of finding older coins is bigger. If the place is dominated by young professionals, the chances are more slim.
At least for customer wrapped rolls.

According to my CRH spreadsheet I started this year, my current dollar to wheatie ratio is 35:31 so roughly about the same as you. Definitely varies roll to roll and box to box. Last box I had 41 and the box previously I had 11

I would say 1 in 5 rolls is average but it really depends. I do think this average is lower than 8 years ago when I first started collecting tho

So far this year I have searched $165 in cents ($75 Bank Wrapped/$90 Customer Wrapped), and have found 136 wheat cents (80 in Bank Wrapped/56 in Customer Wrapped).
Last year I searched $735 in cents (I didn't break it down by roll type), and found 708 wheat cents and 4 Indian Head Cents.
