<p>[QUOTE="Mote Dai, post: 60532, member: 3559"]I went to FOUR banks in Boston today (2 Bank of America, 1 Citizens bank, and 1 local bank that has been in the same building for many,many decades) trying to find half dollar rolls. None of them had any. As a matter of fact, from the looks I received, some of the tellers had no clue what I was talking about. It was like I walked into a McDonalds and ordered a Taco Bell bean burrito. I had to assure one teller that, yes, they "still make those." Another thought I was talking about Sac dollars until I made it clear that I didn't want "the gold ones." Seriously, these people work in a bank? One teller said he could go look in the "obsolete" money drawer to see if there were some coins there. I told him I was only interested in rolls, not single coins. After leaving the bank, it suddenly dawned on me what he said: "a drawer full of obsolete money." Doesn't that sound intriguing? I am sure the definition of "obsolete" is different for a coin collector and bank teller, but I would still like to see the contents of that drawer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
