<p>[QUOTE="midtncoin, post: 2998713, member: 89569"]Last month, I decided to get out of town and do some camping for a few days. Found a small park about 3 hours from here and enjoyed spending some time just getting away from everything! The park was located next to a small town. By small, I mean 2 blocks wide and 4 blocks long. It didn't even have a stop light. The only eateries were a pair of mom-and-pop places. But the place did have a bank -- and it wasn't one of the big national chains. So I stopped in on my way out of town and asked if they had any half dollars. The teller immediately said yes and went to check. She came back and said they had $400 dollars worth. </p><p><br /></p><p>The head teller (I presume) then said that she would love for me to take them as she got tired of counting them every day and that they had been sitting there for a long time. Of course, that was music to my ears! When I got them, I noticed that they were all customer-wrapped. CWR and long-sitters -- two very hopeful signs. As I drove back home with the rolls, visions of rolls of Walkers were going through my head.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sadly, it wasn't to be. It wasn't a total skunk but there was nothing to really get excited about. There were 3 40%'ers and 6 NIFC's: a 12D, 02P, 08P, and (curiously) THREE 08D's. (The presence of the 2012 tells me her definition of "a long time" and my definition are entirely different).</p><p><br /></p><p>But this experience has given me a new idea. I'm going to keep getting the boxes of MWR's from my local bank but there are literally dozens of small regional and country banks within a 2 hour drive of my location that probably have rolls sitting in the vaults.
