<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 556329, member: 4552"]If you going to look for anything in halves, I suggest you really get moving. I used to get about 2 to 10 rolls of halves a week and go through them. Then spend them as regular money. Lately in all banks in my area, no one will carry, order or handle half dollar coins. Here Bank of America and Chase have purchased most of the banks in the area. Bank of America has a policy that no more coins in bulk counted at thier locations and the ones that still have a coin counter, when those break down, out they go. They will not order halves for customers at all. They do not keep any halves in the vaults, nor at the tellers windows any more. Bank of Americal now will only take in coins for counting but they put them in a bag, ship out to somewhere for counting, the amount must be deposited in your account. Naturally there is a charge for that service. NO ACCOUNT? Then the charges go up. Any half dollars broght in must also be shipped out for counting to that same place. </p><p>As a joke I asked what if I brought in only one half dollar. With a straight face I was told the policy is it must be shipped out for counting. </p><p>Wonder what the charge would be for one half dollar to be counted?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
