This is aimed for the members who grab rolls and boxes of rolls from their banks. This is sounding more dumb as I think about it but here goes: I just picked up a couple hundred in halves this am from my bank, never had this many before at one time. My question is do you guys try to rewrap them in the original rolls, or get the tube wrappers? told you it was a dumb question. oh well thanks JD
Good Question! My bank told me not to re-wrap them, when I asked, becasue they dump them into a counter/bagger machine. Hope this helps! SM
hey stop motion, All the banks I deal with here always ask me if they are rolled. I have never had this many so I can only imaging what they would say JD
It depends on the bank. Some banks want to place the coins in a counting machine - so loose is what they want. Other banks are willing to accept rolls - so rolls are what they want. Best bet is to call the bank you intend to return them to and ask what they prefer. And always remember jd - the only dumb question is the one you don't ask
Put them unwrappped in a bag and take them to a casino. They will turn them to bills. But do not linger in the casino. Thats what I do.
JD I'm assuming you ordered by the box (each $500). What I typically do is unroll one end, search them and return them to the same roll and re-roll the end. I then put the coins in the same box and return them to another Bank. Over time you will get pretty good at rerolling the end to make it look as if was machine rolled. PS This was a good week in halves for me. I pulled 24 coins worth keeping, 12 were Franklins and 1 Walking Liberty. The others were Keddendy 1964-1969. I never had this many Franklins at one time!!! I'd be interested to hear what you find.
dont roll cause they dont trust that u have the exact amount per roll, 1 more coin in a roll or 1 less is unnoticable
J-B, Unfortunately I am not able to put that much into this right now, 200.00 at a time will suffice for now. Great finds on the franklin's. I am jealous. JD
probably from the vault. the vault manager told me that as long as they have the amout I want she will give it too me. I imagine that once I am up into buying a box at 500.00 then it will be from her order.
Remember to return them to a bank other than the one you got them from! Banks (the corporations) seriously dislike coins and and collectors and one of the quickest ways to convince your bank that they "can't order coins for you" is to return them to the same place where you are ordering. Another step, to ensure that you don't search the same coins repeatedly is to be sure that your "buy" bank and "return" bank use different suppliers. Have fun! I love searching halves because there is almost always something worth getting!
Over Easter my kids went to an Easter egg hunt that along with candy filled eggs, there were money filled eggs as well. Each of my kids came away with $8 - $10 worth of mixed coins, cents, nickels, dimes & quarters. The kids each put their money in a plastic sandwich bag and we went to the bank to exchange for paper money. We were told that they DO NOT accept loose coin, but that it had to be rolled. So the teller gave each kid enough wrappers so they could roll the change. I asked why they couldn't take the loose coins, it was less than $10, if it were 100's I could understand. The response I got was because of the new security laws since 9/11. I thought what the heck does loose coins that kids are bringing in have to do with National Security? I just shook my head and walked away.
