It's crazy to think that banks simply do not give out pennies anymore. It would be even more of an adjustment if the US did the same.

i picked up a box at my bank today. actually it was $27 in loose rolls as they have not had empty boxes to put them anymore, and its not my bank but a bank I have picking up pennies from for the past 8 months. my pennies are building up as I and picking up more than I can look through week to week.

yes, the Canadian banks are not supposed to give them out anymore. (but if you're nice they might anyway...) One branch I was in today said they are only allowed to ship out 5 boxes a day but have been receieving more than that from customers do they have a huge pile in the back room!

lol....HOW is he managing to sell them at such a premium? Especially when they are going to be clearly searched and obviously pulled of anything "collectable"

 Pennies are still to be had? Pretty soon we'll have twinkies again!  Time to make a few phone calls & check out a few banks who want to unload all those pesky pennies!  |

To me,an unsearched box should still have the seal tape on it either from the bank or the Mint.These spread out rolls on top of the box have been searched.  |

LOL, PT Barnum would love ebay! I've seen people selling single 2012 pennies for $9.99 and such. Do people actually buy at that price? Back on topic. I can still get mint rolls of 2012 pennies at face value pretty regularly. I've never asked for a box. Most cashiers think I am crazy to "buy" rolls of pennies, but I don't mind.  |
