If you get cash from a teller, it is counted and despensed by the machine. She will get the money from the machine and count it back to you. Since she doesn't have a drawer to pull from, if there is an oddity in what the machine spit out, you get it. I have found that your chances of getting star notes is much greater at these banks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

Most won't order dollar coins because they have to order a great deal to get them and the demand just isn't there.
