Well, at least I didn't get skunked.

One good thing happened this weekend. One of my banks offered to step up and order me 2 boxes of halves every week. Now the trick will be dumping the rejects.They are the toughest for me to dump. There are no lobby coin counting machines in my banks except the Coinstar machine at one of CU's.. which is only open M-F. I can machine roll the halves.. but most of my banks don't really want me dropping off boxes of rolled halves. They don't mind regular coins that they can give to their commercial customers, but halves aren't really used. I was thinking maybe I might be able to take them to a Casino near work and convert them to fiat. Maybe some of you serious veteran halve sorters can give me some suggestions on disposing of large amounts of halves.

I am not really well liked at the chase bank because I use my halves to pay my credit card bill every month. That gets rid of at least 2 of my 8 boxes per month. Then I generally pay on my morgage with a box or two. That leaves 4-6 boxes that I dump at far flung locations while I travel.
