<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bilboleslie, post: 1210554, member: 24821&quot;]I bought a partial bag of halves from a local (national) bank a few weeks ago.&nbsp; I paid about $180 for the partial bag, right off the machine.&nbsp;&nbsp; I got shorted more than $60 in halves, because it was full of junk - Mexican coins, car wash tokens, Guatemalan coins, mangled pennies, flattened pennies.&nbsp; But I got more $12 face in 40%, $3 face in 90% Kennedys, $2.50 in Franklins, and $1 in Walkers.&nbsp; I ended up making money on the deal, but I couldn&#039;t believe the garbage in the bag.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been afraid to go back to try there again.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Interestingly, I now have a branch bank saving me all of the &quot;junk&quot; from their coin machine.&nbsp; Anything that gets rejected.&nbsp; I get $8 to $10 a week in Canadian coins, Mexico, etc.&nbsp; This week I got UK 1.50 pounds and Euro 1.08, and $6 in Canadian.&nbsp; Funny thing is, up until I asked, they had been tossing the junk.&nbsp; I even got an Ike from them once.&nbsp; &quot;If it&#039;s rejected, it goes in the garbage.&quot;&nbsp; They aren&#039;t allowed to fish through it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
