[QUOTE="Kurisu, post: 8213787, member: 117063"]After decades of searching rolls...ask them. Seriously. Have conversations with the tellers about whether you're inconveniencing them or not (you're not, by the way, it's part of the service your bank provides. Within reason of course). You'll find that some banks have coin star type coin counters available for free for customers. You'll find that often credit unions have coin counters and will happily take your loose change in any amounts. Typically accounts, even checking, are free at credit unions. Have conversations...you will find that tellers will start to let you know when they have fresh boxes or get a bunch of customer rolls, you just have to ask...and... My final honest piece of advice is that if you are a regular at one particular bank, like maybe you live in a smaller town, be nice! I fairly regularly bring the tellers a box of donuts if I've been seeing them a lot, true! :smuggrin: Many of my tellers over the years (a few are also collectors) also love seeing a photo or two of interesting finds! So before I walk in I load up a couple photos on my phone just in case I see a teller who'll enjoy seeing and hearing about a couple sweet finds, without slowing down folks in line behind me of course. And sometimes I even visit the representatives in their cubicles around the lobby, especially the middle-aged and older ones, they seem to enjoy coins a bit more as they are no longer tellers and sometimes they or relatives are also collectors...the conversation can start with me obviously leaving with some rolls and asking the person..."want to see a really cool coin find I made from your rolls?!". You'd be surprised at the relationships that develop, as well as an occasional tip on interesting rolls!
