Default Coin roll searching - questions

I have read several posts lately about coin roll searching and have a couple of questions about terminology.

Back in the 1960's when I had a paper route, I would weekly go to my local small town bank and buy rolls of coins and search through them for silver and wheats.

I had no idea that silver could still be found by searching rolls, or at least on a regular basis.

My questions are on terminology:

1. What is a "dump bank"?
2. How much is a "box" of rolls: pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, halves, dollars?

Guess that's it.
Thanks for your help!

the dump bank is where you take your coin to after searching them. it needs to be different than the bank you get your coin at
