<p>[QUOTE="E Pluribus Unum, post: 2955318, member: 74265"]I guessed times have changed. I remember tellers giving paper roll wrappers upon request. I can understand the need to have an account with a bank in order to acquire rolls. Additionally, I can see the cost incurred by supplying large quantities of coin rolls to commercial clients. However, for clients with personal accounts, I would think the cost of supplying rolls would be nearly negligible. Besides, what percent of these clients request coin rolls? They have to order coins anyway to conduct cash transactions - so it's not really a significant expenditure of time or resources. Most importantly, banks are making money from me. It just seems a bit strange and a little shocking to discover that I can't get rolls of coins from my bank anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I will take your advice.
