    I've not went to the bank(s) and asked for rolled coins to cherrypick through in many years. But I was just wondering what bank chains I could go to to get boxes of rolls WITHOUT having to have an account with them? Or is it up to the individual bank branches? I'm located in Columbia,SC

    Hmm, I'm not sure. I usually get boxes at my credit union. However they don't get boxes from the fed so I would never get and boxes of new nickels. They told me the coins they have come from what people bring in. They suggested Chemical Bank to get new coin boxes but I don't have an account with them.

    Hi,
    I,m not familiar with the banks in your area, but here in norteastern Ohio I order them at my local bank. I 'm not sure whether or not if you need an account. But you must go to the head teller and place your order, usually the week prior, so the the rolls will come in with there coin shipment. I order Halve dollar rolls ocasionally to search and this is the best way to get unsearched rolls. I haven't had luck in trying to get state quarter rolls though. I have seen other customers getting boxes of the new nickels though. I haven't tried getting the nickel boxes as I'm not into them as I'm into halves and quarters. The only thing to remember is that if you order boxes, you must take the whole box and this would cost you the value of the box. Halves are $500.00 as an example.

    Usually it's either the head office or the regional head office that decides what coins and currency each branch is to stock, and in what amounts. Your best bet to find what you are looking for without having to order the coins in advance and commit to (1) buying them, and (2) not returning them to the same place, would be the nearest branch that has a lot of customers that deal in cash - grocery stores, laundromats, etc. Those branches are likely to stock coins in quantity, consisting partly of turn-ins.

    The HH or TT state quarter rolls I would get every now and again I'd open and keep the H-T ones sealed

    I guess it is all up to the location. We have so many banks around here I have no problem finding ones that will give out any amount and any denominations of coins. I have at least 3 to 5 banks within walking distance, pending on how far I want to walk that is. I usually get a $50 bag of cents from most banks but return to a different bank so they don't get to irritated with me. I drive to those because those bags are heavy. At one place I usually get about 10 rolls of halves but that is just to have fun spending them and watching the look on someones face when they see them. That same bank usually also gives out the larger size Ike Dollars if you want them but no one ever does.

    What do people do with the rolls you have left over? Do banks get mad if you take them in for cash?

    nope, not unless their coin machines are broken. If you got a ton of Kennedies...they might give you a few looks. But they'll get over it the second you walk out the door.

    That depends entirely on the specific bank you are talking about.

    Some banks charge fees for accepting more than a nominal amount of change for deposit, while others refuse to accept large batches of coins. Some insist that coins brought in be rolled, and marked with the name/account number of the depositor, and others won't accept rolled coins. Some won't handle coin transactions for non-account holders, others will.

    And coin counting machinery is more likely to be found in savings banks than commercial banks.

    The banks in my neighborhood dont have a problem with me.I usually go the same one or two tellers..get a strange look sometimes when I tell them I am waiting for so and so.:) ..but then when I am finished searching, I take them back via the drive through window..most tellers who work up front don't work the drive up..;)
