The last 2 weeks, I have been picking up my ordered halves at a couple of B of As.
When I open the box, the wrappers are white with no writing on them; then when you open them up, you can see that they are inside out $25 wraps for $1 coins.
They must have an overstock of $1 coin wrappers and are using them up.
Anyone else have this happen?

just to be clear, they are still giving you halve dollars in the correct amount per box?

Yeah it is the correct amount
They are just using surplus $1 coin wrappers to wrap the halves.
And they are turning them inside out since they obviously aren't dollar coins.

Never had this happen. Are these sealed boxes you are buying from the bank?

Coin processing company may have run out of paper for halves and used inverted dollar paper for a day or two...

You are getting halves at Bank of America? Do you know their policy for selling rolls? The small town bank I bank at never has halves and I would like to start checking halves. Do you have to be a customer? Do you have to get a whole box? Thanks for any help you can give me.
