[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 211977, member: 4626"]My bank rarely has any half dollars around, but will order a box if I ask (sometimes even willing to order a box if I don't buy all $500 worth at once). However except for special requests, they don't bother to order any or keep any around besides the handful people turn in. Just not really any call for them; if none of their customers want them, it's a waste of space to keep any in their vault. A lot of half dollars I get have seen obvious slot machine abuse... we're not too far from the casinos in Blackhawk and Central City. You can try asking your bank if they'll order you a box... most banks don't mind, especially if you're a customer. Always easy to get halves in and near casinos, though you might end up with a lot of slot machine victims that way. I guess I'm just lucky I guess... though I have friendly relationship with one of the bankers; she lives in the same apartment complex I do and we chat often. Even when I was no longer a customer of the bank she didn't mind ordering boxes of half dollars for me, even if I didn't get all $500 at once. And pretty sure you mean Pat [I]Robertson[/I], not Pat Robinson lol...[/QUOTE]
