there is a bank (bank of america) that just opened up in a new location (in a new building) in my area, and i was wondering if i buy rolls of say, half dollar coins, will they all be just fresh new rolls (mostly 2005/2006, modern rolls) or will they have mixed old rolls as well (so i can search for silver halves)?
They'll get their coins from the same armored car delivery service as all the nearby BofA branches. Generally that means recycled coins unless they specifically ask for new coins. A new branch doesn't have a lot of stuff that's been lying around in the vault for years, so it isn't likely to have any half dollars unless one of their customers deposits them.
More than likely they will be earlier halves. I think that when they get around to it they will order from the fed-but you never know when you'll find a few moderns that weren't issued for circulation---Bill
No way. Like all major banks, BofA branches order all their coins through their regional or district headquarters, which arranges delivery by the same armored car folks. A new branch won't be stocked with 50¢ pieces (or $2 bills) unless there is a demand for them by branch customers.
new halves The 05,s and 06,s are only available through the mint at a premium, so you won't find many of those. ( from 2002 and up I believe are mint only items).
http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wc...1&parent_category_rn=10156&top_category=10156 ...is where you get bu halves. Bof A is ok for state quarters and if you are very lucky nickels dimes pennys. Starbucks coffee is #1 for bu rolls. Ask your teller and they will order you a box of halves ($500). For your time searching you will get a couple of silver (64) and a dozen or so 65-69, and maybe an oddball Franklin, or impaired proof, it is fun.
Thanks for correcting- what does it mean when people ask the tellers to order rolls, I always thought it came from the fed.
