Message:: [QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 871708, member: 24633"]BoA uses their own regional storage facilities to provide change for their branches, so it is very possible that you can end up searching the same coins in 6-12 months, depending how how often you order them from your branch. Try to find small banks or credit unions that order directly from the Federal Reserve in your region. You'll find that widens the area of circulation. Some credit unions also have change counting machines which are free for account holders, so if you don't like rewrapping the coins, it might be a good idea to open a small account with one of them. You should be aware that most have a minimum balance requirement, and you could have monthly service charges if your balance falls below the minimum. I don't mind rewrapping the coins. I've been banking at the same BoA branch for 25 years, and they provide me with thousands of wrappers for each denomination free of charge. I don't even have to put my name or account number on each roll, and they don't bother to check each roll for accuracy. Get to know the tellers at your bank! Whenever someone brings in a deposit of old looking rolls or any that have older dates written on them, they will call me and set them aside until I can get to the bank. Chris[/QUOTE]
