<p>[QUOTE=&quot;karrlot, post: 144673, member: 4476&quot;]I have one bank that I buy boxes of halves from.&nbsp; $500 per box.&nbsp; At first they thought it was unusual that I would call and order a box of halves and if I get someone new, they are a bit confused, but the head teller knows me now and&nbsp; she just orders them for me.&nbsp; I get them right after payday.&nbsp; I go through them in one night.&nbsp; They are willing to order the boxes for me.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if they are charged for them, but they don&#039;t ever charge me and they havn&#039;t said anything to me.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Then I take them back to another bank.&nbsp; I opened my acct there specifically because they had a coin counting machine that they don&#039;t charge for.&nbsp; Also they&#039;ve got a branch at the grocery store and they&#039;re open 7 days/week.&nbsp; They get irritated, because their machine is not set up for a large quatity of halves.&nbsp; Under the machine the pennies, nickles, dimes, and quarters drop down into a large plastic bag.&nbsp; The halves, however, don&#039;t have a bag.&nbsp; They drop into a tray that only holds $100.&nbsp; Then they have to stop the machine and empty the tray into a bag.&nbsp; So it takes them probably 10 minutes to go through $1500 worth of halves.&nbsp; I try to go when they&#039;re not busy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
