<p>[QUOTE="Fropa, post: 294477, member: 837"]I search between 1-3 boxes a week on average for the last 2 years. I have one bank that orders me 1 box a week. I just found another bank that will order me 2 boxes a week. Neither of them charge a fee to order the boxes. Some banks have offered to order boxes for me but it would cost $3-$5 per box. I'll stick with the free ones for now. </p><p><br /></p><p>I also make road trips to ask banks/credit unions for halves. I've been able to get between a few hundred dollars worth to as much as $2,600 dollars worth in a single trip I always go into the bank and don't go to the drive-up window. Just ask the teller if they have any half dollars. Always ask if they have any in the vault or coin counting machine also. Sometimes the tellers don't think about them because they don't get many people asking about halves. I've had better luck with the road trips in the last 6-8 months or so because my boxes have been really bad until last week. I've had as many as 16 boxes in a row with no keepers but keep searching because you never know when the boxes like the ones I got last week will show up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
