Stopped at a local branch today. I usually don't ask for large dollar coins, but my son has been wanting an Ike, so I asked today. "Oh, I think you're in luck! Let me go check." "Oh, sorry. There was a whole bunch of them last week, but one of the tellers sold them to someone. Yeah, a lot of them were really old... like back to the 1800's." <Me almost fainting>
I wouldn’t feel too bad. Bank tellers aren’t exactly coin experts. There’s been mutiple times where tellers have given me quarters from “1776”.
