How do you ask for rolls

I seen so many videos on coin roll hunting and threads.

Politely.

No, really. It seems a lot of people assume that picking up rolls, and boxes of rolls, is something they're entitled to as an account holder, or even if they don't have an account. Eventually, or immediately, they burn their bridges and the tellers or managers refuse to give them rolls in any meaningful quantity.

 

Thats what I am kind of thinking as well. I only see it worth if you are filling albums or looking for silver.

 

"Waiter, would you bring us another basket of rolls?"

 

I have several different locations that I use so I don't wear any one of them out. I am a regular patron of each. I usually asked for no more than 4 rolls and usually only 2. Don't overlook places like the customer service desks of grocery or department stores. Be polite and they will usually oblige.

 

Can I get my wheaties, please?

 

I am a CRH'er, but I won't share my secrets. There is a reason they sell me rolls even when the bank's rules say they shouldn't. There is a reason they call me on the cellphone - persistently.

Well, thanks for nothing then. Have a good day.

 

If he told you, he'd have to kill you.........

 

I just ask 'When you place your next coin order, could you get me a box of cent rolls ( or other types)? It is people who demand that get shut out. And around certain holidays I often offer to exchange ( because they can't accept freebies from the customers) an Indian Head cent or mercury dime ( yes I know there is a $ or so silver in it) for common change from their drawer they can reclaim. They know I appreciate them, and they enjoy finding me something special at times.

 

Not to be snarky - but I shared info in the past only to have it used by others in my area. As desertguy says, be nice to your tellers. Don't be demanding. I see demanding people in banks from time to time, and they don't get anything. I know tellers will not say anything to people they don't like. Being friendly is job 1! I walk out of banks and credit unions all the time with stuff that they are NOT supposed to sell to non-commercial customers or members.

And occasionally you will find some young lady that has an eye for money herself, don't discourage her - encourage her - I have an agreement with one that saves paper money for herself, but sells me all the silver she can find. But occasionally even she doesn't want or cannot at the moment afford things like this:



All dated 1928 or 1934. She did keep the North Africa and the nationals.

Oh and another thing, I don't always share the stuff I find - there have been some that have been held closely and not shared at all.

 

Watch your back Angelo. The ninja is swift and silent........

 

My mother long ago said to always say "please" and "thank you" . even if you know the teller. It can't hurt. Also ask for two's because they seem to not like them.

 

I'm just honest and tell them I collect coins give me all they have.

 

I also just tell them I collect. They actually keep their eyes out for me (I've gotten 1 Indian cent from my friend the teller). At Chase I'm known as the son that collects coins who's father is an employee (they make a HUGE deal over it idk why) and at td I'm the collector that sticks his arm up the coin counting machine

 

Check out my thread.. Best bank teller ever!

I bought a $25 cent box a while back. As I recall, about 30% of the cents were Canadian. I took it in stride, sorted through them and found a number of cents reflecting a very young Queen wearing ribbons and a few with George VI. I am not sure what to do with the rest of them. Perhaps this is a good excuse to visit Canada and return them.

 

I ask politely. Ask them how their day has been, and then if at all possible could I get XX amount of coins. Works almost all the time.

 

alicechaos, aren't Canadian cents through 1996 pure bronze? Ought to interest the copper-stackers. Data from the Canada section of Coinflation.com shows all the cents through 1996 worth at least 1.5 times face value, and earlier cents over 2.0 times face value.
