<p>[QUOTE="AZSteve, post: 4965943, member: 114396"]Every time I go to my credit union or a nearby bank that lets me exchange coin rolls, I ask for dollars or halves. They never have rolls, and only occasionally have some loose coins in their cash drawers. Last visit I asked again and the head cashier said "How many rolls do you want?" "How many do you have?" "$580 - all small dollars." "Why do you have so many all of a sudden?" "Some guy brought in a whole bunch of them." So I brought $200 worth home. Besides a wide variety of the circulation dates/mints (SBAs, Sacs, Native Americans and mostly Presidents, thru Garfield), I found a Tyler proof, a Polio Innovation, and several rarer collector-quantity Presidents (the ones after Garfield). Anticipation on every roll was "<i>What am I going to find next?!</i>" I went back the next day and got the rest of them - both customer-wrapped and bank-wrapped.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hadn't collected small dollars.
