I know it was just last week that you got them, but one thing I try and do whenever I can is to spot check a single roll in the parking lot of the bank or very close by (like the other end of the mall parking lot if I am concerned about being a victim of crime). That way, when I find something cool I can go back in and give the teller a creative excuse why I just remembered that I need more than I just got. I've done this with half dollars a bunch and it has helped a number of times.

After all, if I discover the motherlode, I want the WHOLE LODE!

Of course that doesn't help when the next teller you get is like the Soup Nazi of Seinfeld fame. Youtube it if you don't know the reference.

Usually I too spot check. In this instance I got all he has. As they call on me to "" dispose " of coin. Saving all expense of having it picked up by Brink's.
