<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 877388, member: 4552&quot;]Obviously not the same rules everywhere. In my area banks no longer carry halves at all. Bank of America now told me they have a policy not to hold any halves taken in from customers and they will all be sent out to the Federal Researve. No one that is not a customer, nor even customers can order halves any more. No loose or rolled haves are to be kept for any reason and any teller found holding some for anyone would be grounds for dismissal. </p><p>I found this to be true at Chase banks in my area also. </p><p>I&#039;ve got accounts in five different banks, some small and some large and all say the same. </p><p>At Bank of America they also no longer will take bulk coins nor give them out without a buisness address and account. If anyone does bring in loose or rolled coins, they will be sent out for counting to a central location. The amount will be entered into your account minus the fee for that service. No account? They will send you a check minus an additional fee for that service also. </p><p>If these policies have not yet been implimented in your area, check. Soon they will be standard almost everywhere. Mostly this is all due to several reasons. For the halves, no one used them except collectors and they just look through them and try to return them for free. Many people now roll thier coins and play the one coin short roll system. Banks know this so all rolls are now counted prior to payouts. Bulk coins in bags also contain foreign coins, tokens, washers, etc. and banks know this also. </p><p>As long as people do these things, coins from banks will soon be a thing of the past.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
