<p>[QUOTE=&quot;E Pluribus Unum, post: 2955204, member: 74265&quot;]I started my coin collecting hobby as a child by searching through rolls from my local bank.&nbsp; In the late 70&#039;s and early 80&#039;s, it was never a problem getting rolls at a bank regardless if I had an account.&nbsp; In fact, I remember getting free paper rolls.</p><p><br /></p><p>I decided to start roll hunting again for half dollars about a year ago.&nbsp; When I went to my bank (where I have a checking and savings account) to ask for rolls, I was told that they do not supply coin rolls.&nbsp; I was surprised to hear this.&nbsp; I tried a few times again with different tellers and got the same response.&nbsp; At a different bank, I went to deposit a check into my mom&#039;s account and I was told the same.&nbsp; Again, I tried asking different tellers, but no luck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, I made a transaction at another bank where my mom had an account.&nbsp; After I completed the transaction, I asked the teller if she had any rolls of half dollars.&nbsp; Strangely, she replied by asking me if <span style="color: #0000ff"><b>I</b></span> had an account with the bank.&nbsp; I said no, but she went ahead and I received 10 rolls of halves.&nbsp; About a month later, I went to the same bank to get another 10 rolls.&nbsp; Again, I was asked if I had an account with the bank.&nbsp; I replied no, but stated that my mother does.&nbsp; So, I got my rolls.&nbsp; If I continue going to this bank to get rolls, I am afraid that my luck is going to run out.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, now I am wondering is it necessary to have an account with a bank in order to get rolls?&nbsp; Or is this becoming the new norm that banks are no longer supplying coin rolls to save costs?&nbsp; I am considering opening an account with this bank for roll hunting, but is it worth the hassle?&nbsp; Is it worth the effort to try other banks with whom I have no affiliation?&nbsp; Or should I or can I place an order for rolls and pay a fee?&nbsp; I would greatly appreciate your thoughts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
