<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Atreides, post: 1455716, member: 36287&quot;]I would definitely start out slow with just a few rolls from a bank you&#039;re unfamiliar with.&nbsp; I start with just 2-3 rolls from a new bank and then gradually work my way up until I feel comfortable ordering a whole box.&nbsp; As mentioned earlier it really depends on the branch/chain, some banks and some tellers are happy to provide you with whatever change you ask for, but some are very stingy.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Part of this has to do with the costs incurred by banks just to keep rolled coins in stock.&nbsp; Banks have to pay the fed/armored car company to provide them with coins, so a lot of smaller banks are only willing to provide change as a courtesy to businesses (or individuals with a lot of money/account activity).&nbsp; It&#039;s been mentioned in a few other threads that eventually banks are probably going to start cutting CRHers off, especially considering how gung-ho some of the corporate banks are these days when it comes to passing along fees to the customer.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Just remember to be courteous to the tellers.&nbsp; Ask them how they&#039;re doing and say hello before you tell them you want change.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and once you start getting boxes and large quantities of change, it&#039;s customary to call first.&nbsp; Part of the reason some tellers are stingy with change is just because they don&#039;t want to have to replenish their personal stores from the vault, so they may remember you in a bad way if you clean them out every time.&nbsp; I&#039;ve had tellers give me a hard time about change just because they didn&#039;t feel like bending down and getting it out of their mini-safes (I think she was pregnant).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
