<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fish paws, post: 2167992, member: 73564&quot;]Perhaps I&#039;m echoing some of what has already been mentioned, but I find it really varies depending on the bank and branch.&nbsp; I bank at a regional bank branch that caters to downtown retail businesses.&nbsp; They will gladly let me order a box of halves and two boxes of dimes each week because they have a lot of local businesses running cash back and forth, and it isn&#039;t a major inconvenience for them to process my orders.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, at other branches of this same bank, they will only allow commercial customers to order boxes, and/or add a $10 surcharge per box...mostly because they&#039;re serving residential accounts, but also because some of them don&#039;t want traffic from roll hunters.</p><p><br /></p><p>Banks don&#039;t really make money catering to roll-hunters, so it really just depends on how nice the bank managers are.&nbsp; My advice is to ask around at several banks until you find one that will let you request rolls/boxes without a fee.&nbsp; Having an account is usually essential, at least it is in my area, and I find it&#039;s actually convenient to have access to my account should I come up short when dumping coin and/or picking up another box.</p><p><br /></p><p>Be advised that there are limits to how far many banks are willing to go, and I&#039;ve seen what happens when someone exceeds those limits: </p><p><br /></p><p>A few months back, I encountered another collector at my bank who was making large weekly orders of halves - 10-20 boxes per week.&nbsp; He was allowed to do this for about 3 weeks, and then they told him to get lost.&nbsp; He made no friends with the tellers, the manager or the Loomis drivers who had to carry the coin, dump the coin, etc.&nbsp; (Word is that he burned his bridges at a number of local banks.)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t be that guy.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
