A shotgun roll is a roll of coins of regular value which has been tightly wrapped with tamper-proof ends by a bank or minting authority. Although the term "shotgun roll" used to refer to a roll of double length and value, nowadays the double rolls are called "double shotgun rolls" and single, normal rolls are simply "shotgun rolls."
