I don't know I started coin roll hunting and collecting coins over 17 years ago. I started collecting when I was working up in Washington state. Recently I have been reading a lot of articles about people finding Ike dollars in rolls at the bank. Where are these banks.? To keep this story short I had two accounts in Washington state both with different banks. I won't get into the reason why. But even way back when, all the banks ever got were Kennedy half dollars, I did manage to get a nice collection of Kennedy's through the years, and even a few 64's. But it seems it even some of the Ike's dollars, if they made it to the bank, the employees would pick them out fast. But I have read on some articles, people are buying rolls from the bank. That's why I asked which banks. I guess at least up in Seattle if the bank's employees don't pick the Ike's out. Most of the people that acquire them say through inheritance or however they acquired them.Generally take them to a coin shop or a pawnshop, to find out how much their worth. Seen that happen a lot at the coin shop that I usually went to. I don't know how many times I've seen people come in with what they've inherited or come across and asked the owner coin dealer what their coins are worth. I'm not saying it can't happen but most people do not take their coins to the bank for face value. At least up in Seattle most people know their Ike dollars and silver are worth more than the face value.Been back down at my house in Florida for the last seven years due to my stroke. The banks down here I do not even see that many $.50 or presidential dollars or Susan B Anthony's. I know I've gotten in good with one of the bank managers here. Because I get a box of quarters every two weeks. Even though this bank manager does not collect coins. He smart enough when he sees silver he buys them from his own bank. I know this for a fact because I was asked to examine a couple of pieces that he had. Just read an article in coin world, from the gentleman that does the articles on coin roll hunting. His recent article claims that a teller saved him a roll of Ike dollars. Evidently I guess he found a piece dollar I really didn't pay attention that much to the article.But then again I asked myself what bank.All I'm saying it's possible, for someone to go and turn money into the bank from an inheritance. Instead of going to a coin dealer and finding out what they have first. USMC60
