Where Are All The Pennies?

Ok, I have been busy lately haven't sorted in a long time. And on top of that I am a small time hand sorter. So, my first day off in a while, I go out with $40, thinking to stop at 4 banks on the one road I need to be on anyway. First bank (credit union) I ask for $10 in pennies. I get the obligatory "do you have an account with us?" question. I do. She pulls her drawer open - one roll. She trots down to the next teller - $3 in pennies. "We only have $3.50 in pennies sir." She says. I say nothing because I know they have a vault. After a brief pause, she pulls out some papaer work and goes into the vault. Tough pull but I got my pennies.
Bank 2 (of 4). I walk in, ask for $10 in pennies. "We have none, I just gave them all away this morning." What? Whatever. I leave.
Bank 3 of 4. I ask for $10 in pennies. A brief pause, teller checks the drawer - nothing. Checks teller neck to him. Not enough. Now to this guys credit, he never even paused. He filled out his paper work and went into the vault, brought out my pennies.
Bank 4 of 4. After the drawer search, "We only have $2.50 in pennies." Huh? I didn't take them, went home with my $20. The last 3 banks were major regional banks too. (BB&T x2 and SunTrust). Where are all the pennies???????
On the search though I got a George V Canadian penny - my first!
Again, where are all the pennies?
