<p>[QUOTE="urbanchemist, post: 1384234, member: 13080"]i worked at a bank for many years and i will tell you calling a bank will get you nowhere. credit unions are usually tougher to get new bills just for the fact they are normally smaller banks and dont need to order as much money as a larger bank. you need to actually go to a branch of a major chain bank in your area. it would be preferable to be a bank that you have an account with, as most banks dont really care much about non customers. all banks have different shipment dates for their money. those are really the best days to go. the tough part of that is if you are not in good with the tellers more than likely they will not give you that information for obvious reasons. now as far as new bills do you mean 2009 series or just brand new uncirculated notes. the reason i ask is even large banks that get large orders of cash a week might get bricks of new notes but they could be from series of many different years. i know from personal experience we didnt always get new series notes. a lot of times they were from series from past runs. another thing is a lot of banks prefer to get rid of their older notes than have to order new money and even if they ordered money there was no guarantee it will be brand new. new bricks and straps of cash are very hard to count because they usually stick together. anytime they open up a new brick they have to piece count the notes to make sure there is the right amount. honestly most of my customers preferred older notes to the new ones. i dealt with a lot of businesses and they hated new notes. i have seen them go as far as crinkling up new notes to make them easy to count and distribute. i hope this information helps out a little. like i mentioned i am talking from my own personal experience because i dealt with the vault tellers on a daily basis. :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
