<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 539541, member: 17665&quot;]The economy definitly has a lot to do with poopr circulation of newly issued coins. Only banks that need paticular types of change order them. This would probably be the larger metro areas where vending machines and public transport which require exact change. It is true that banks will not order just for collectors. Most of the local banks in Berkshire County here frown on collectors. I just asked for a roll of Hawaiian quarters a few days ago and got the typical &quot; Do you really need them Tom? Because I have to go into the vault to get them.&quot;. Forget about the dollar coins. The same holds true for postage stamps. Ordering is at the whim of the postmaster. On the other hand, if one must order from the mint it seems the profit is much too high. Except for the cent and nickel a very nice profit is already achieved just for making the coins and having them pulled from circulation by collectors, thus ensuring continued jobs at the mint to replace those same coins. so keep your fingers crossed for those Lincoln cents and keep at your local bankers until they give in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
