Call ahead and place an order at a bank you are a member at. They should do it for you. Bid they won't then go to other banks and ask if they will order you coin if you open an account. Someone will want your business.

I can do way better than that just doing drive bys;
Aren't there other banks around you can hit?
Either that or do what NHSorter says or both.

I agree. I have a bank that I call ahead and get what bags they have on Friday. It has been as little as none and as high as 3. I also stop at several others depending on which way I go home from work and never have a problem getting a box from each just by walking in. Rarely am I asked if I even have an account there although we have accounts at 4 banks. I have got CWR at banks near my work that I do not even have an account at. Both times Cu was very low <5% and they were rolled with an automatic roller so I suspect someones zinc dump. I guess I need to give it one more try.

Will your bank allow you to place orders? THis is what I do, and I take whatever CWR's they have when I go in.

I have hit up other banks and most of the time they say they dont have them or i need a account...my credit union that i have been with all my life are very stubborn...i might try and ask them if they can order them but i think it will be a fail...i use to always goto a bank i didnt have a account at and get one box a week but now they say i need a account...it gets old!

If I don't have some type of coin to look through, I go crazy! I feel your pain.

I struck out here in town today myself. 4 stops, 4 fails. Shocking, actually, factoring in my face recognition and considerable charm. I guess they really were out of pennies.

I did get $50 ea. from 3 branches in the neighboring burg, so all was not lost. The $4.35 I peeled from TD's Canada magnet paid for the extra fuel.

Seems like its easier getting half dollars than pennies...seems most banks dont like having half dollars...i grabbed one box from a bank in walmart today...like i said...im glad i didnt buy a ryedale...handsorting is relaxing and since im only doing about a box maybe 2 a week it works out well
