<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 581058, member: 5233&quot;]Do you have an account with the banks?&nbsp; Many banks don&#039;t like to give out rolled coins to non-customers in large quantities (because of the cost of rolling the coins and transporting them ect).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you do have an account...you might want to give the branch a one week notice before you request a box of cents as a courtesy to the bank.&nbsp; Most coin collectors don&#039;t understand why they should do this but there is a simple reason.&nbsp; Banks have on hand a specific amount of rolled coin for a reason.&nbsp; They cater to their business customers with change orders.&nbsp; They know what businesses come in weekly and have the rolled coinage plus a little extra (just in case) they think they need to meet the businesses needs.&nbsp; They don&#039;t have massive quantities on hand.&nbsp; So, when someone comes on at random and asks for a large quantity of coinage...it can be a problem for the branch.&nbsp; So, the bank naturally won&#039;t want to give it out to someone out of the blue.&nbsp; If they knew a head of time, they could add an extra box to their weekly order just for you.&nbsp; The best thing to do is just explain to the management why you want it and I&#039;m sure if you have an account they would be more than happy to do so.&nbsp; When I worked at a bank I had management order me $500 bags or rolled half dollars (we didn&#039;t even keep halves at this branch) for me to buy and sort.&nbsp; There were no fees associated with it other than buying the change at face value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it&#039;s bad customer service to roll their eyes and sigh and such...but you have to understand that walking into a branch unannounced and asking for a large quantity of rolled coinage is just as rude.&nbsp; It&#039;s more complicated that just face value for face value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
