<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rhino89, post: 847265, member: 21773&quot;]A friend of mine works at a bank, and I asked her.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>She said that once in a while (rarely though, overall) someone comes in and tries to use those coinstar-type machines, which rejects non-standard coins like the Ikes. The customers then usually trade them for banknotes with a teller, and then the coins just hang out in the bank. Each teller has a separate drawer, and as far as she knows the coins end up hanging out in a certain drawer for quite a while, they don&#039;t go into the vault because of the low value as legal tender. In the time it sits in the drawer, it then either gets picked up by the tellers themselves, OR her bank gets quite a few regulars who are coin collectors who come in asking tellers if they have anything out of the ordinary, and get Ikes for face value.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So if you visit a bank regularly, give it a shot, maybe your tellers have something hanging out in their drawer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
