Message:: [QUOTE="justndav76, post: 672300, member: 17428"]I went to our local main branch of Wells Fargo last Friday.  I walked in and asked the teller if I could buy a bank box of $25 worth of pennies.  Of course her first question was "are you a member".  I said no, why does that matter, Im just coming in to buy rolled coinage why do I have to be a member.  She proceeded to tell me that they charge non customers $5 to go into the vault to get coins out.  I looked at her and asked her if they were a FED bank- she said yes but that is still their policy.  I told her where they could stick their policy and went next door to the Valley Bank branch and they had no problem selling me the $25 in pennies.  No questions asked.  I just thought the local FED bank couldnt deny a person from purchasing rolled coin.  Is there something I need to do here or call the regional FED branch.  I know the easy answer is to just open an account with a minimal balance but I dont want to have to do that.  But I suppose if I want to order coinage I'll probably have to do that.[/QUOTE]
