<p>[QUOTE="khay, post: 1331615, member: 34520"]For me, I started calling around to local banks and asking if they would sell me BAGS in particular.

[QUOTE="khay, post: 1331615, member: 34520"]For me, I started calling around to local banks and asking if they would sell me BAGS in particular. I said I'd open an account with them specifically because of that. I do feel bad making the nice elderly teller lady go get a bag or a box of coins from the vault several times per week, though... :P If I make it clear to them that I will NOT be returning the coins to their bank, and also that I want to be as LITTLE hassle to them as possible, they are happy enough to help me out :) I will sometimes call in the morning, and tell her what I will be picking up that day, so that she can go get it whenever it is convenient to HER, and when I get there I just pick it up, and take no more time than any other customer. I also make small talk, and am a VERY friendly person, so most of my tellers like me personally ;) Also, it must be noted - locally, it seems to be IMPOSSIBLE to get halves in boxes. I can ONLY get them in $1000 bags.
