<p>[QUOTE="ICollectCoins, post: 563091, member: 17922"]Frankly, I don't use change much. Use the plastic and pay it off online each month. But I've already come across three 2009-D's. That may not seem like many, but I've probably only handled 100 coins in change since Feb 12. What has amazed me is the unwillingness of local banks to part with rolls of the coins. Even my own bank and credit union said, won't get 'em. Won't hold 'em. Tellers won't call you if they get 'em. </p><p> </p><p>Regarding the Question At Hand, I don't know that it will drive people away.
