[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 100229, member: 669"]It all depends on the bank's policies, practices, and source of coins. Many small to medium size banks get their coins from larger correspondent banks, and may not be able to specifically request new coins, let alone particular new coins. All large banks, and some smaller ones, order their coins directly from the armored car companies, which are the primary market source of rolled coins. They can, but don't always, request specific coins. Your best bet is to make friends with the vault teller at your bank, and find out from him/her how they get their coins, and whether they can order the ones you want. Bear in mind that banks get their coins "by the box", which is generally 50 rolls of the same value. If you are the only one interested in the state quarters, and only want a couple of rolls, the bank isn't going to be too interested in buying a $500 box for your benefit. If your own bank isn't a good source, scout out the other banks in the area. Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and the other huge ones, are probably your best bet, although one of their small neighborhood branches may still be unable (or unwilling) to help you.[/QUOTE]
