<p>[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 24623733, member: 105098"]Banks that service commercial areas go through a lot of rolled coins and banks that are in residential areas take in a lot of rolled coins.

[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 24623733, member: 105098"]Banks that service commercial areas go through a lot of rolled coins and banks that are in residential areas take in a lot of rolled coins. If you have the ability to locate and travel to a branch of your bank in a commercial district and talk to the manager about what you want to do (and keep it within reason especially at first) they can be pretty accommodating, but the residential banks almost never have to order in coins. If you are looking for specific rolls like 2023 or the newest year, once you establish the relationship with the manager generally they can be helpful and set aside what you are looking for. Before the pandemic I had that set up but my guy got bounced around from branch to branch and that doesn't work anymore for me, but once you are established, my guy would even call me when he had something and I'd call him when I wanted him to get me something. Ordering in coins can take up to 10 days+ depending on the day they place the order so there's a decent delay sometimes. Just requires being friendly, patient and taking no for an answer without losing your cool. No today is yes next month once you been in a couple times and they get used to you. If you just can't, all you can really do is take the customer wrapped coins. Don't bother with halves unless the manager brings it up. It's a big red flag for them and a monster headache for them to get them for you, and then return them when you are done, people ruined it and the good silver is pretty gone from those nowadays.
