<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cj415, post: 1165665, member: 30598&quot;]<b>Quarters</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I was in my Credit Union yesterday signing some paperwork. I happened to ask if they had any rolls of halves. They didn&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>While I was waiting for my paperwork to be processed, an elderly gentleman, probably 80 years old, comes into the branch asking if he can deposit a large amount of coins. The teller asked if he had the coins with him and he said they were in the car since they were too heavy to carry.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few minutes later, he brings in a large box of home-rolled quarters. My paperwork was done and I left the branch. About 1/2 mile away, I turned back, went into the branch, and asked if I could buy all of the quarters the 80 year old man just deposited. They were very happy to accommodate. </p><p><br /></p><p>I thought this would be a good thing... older person, home-rolled, small credit union. I had expectations of silver!</p><p><br /></p><p>I took all $400 of the quarters home with me, unwrapped them, and I found <u>NOTHING</u>! Earliest was a 1965 quarter, and I did even find anything to fill out my state quarter collection with.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I need to either re-wrap $400 worth of quarters for my bank, or drive an hour each way to use a free coin machine, or pay the ridiculous Coinstar fee. I&#039;m not sure that I&#039;m cut out for Roll Searching. You get funny looks when you ask for them, and frustrated looks when you turn them back in.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh well... Maybe I&#039;ll try more rolls from a different bank tomorrow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
