Nice find! Aren't they supposed to send those back to the Fed?

1979-S Type 2 Proof SBA, straight from a teller tray. I saw a proof SBA in the tray and asked for all the dollars. Once I got home, I realized it was the clear S variety

Best box ever was from a check cashing joint. Pulled 16 war nics from it, also my 2nd 50-d. These places are over looked.

The best was a roll of proof silver halves along with a 70d.
It is legal to own a 500 dollar bill. I believe anything above 10000 is ILLEGAL. Great find :)

I have gotten rolls of halves with lots of 40%, 30+ 64 Kens, 8 Franklin's, 7 Walkers, 27 Ike's, and 6 1934A $100 bills of which I sold 5 of them for a tidy profit and gave the best one to the wife for her currency collection.

I only ever find the occasional Wheat penny and State Quarters that I need to fill holes in my folder.

The best thing that I ever got from a bank was a phone call from my girlfriend at the time (she was a teller). She said that I needed to come get all of these customer wrapped rolls an older man just deposited. A silver (dime, quarter, and half) and Wheat cent bonanza!

Awesome! Like I've said somewhere else on the site, EVERYONE where I live COLLECTS. The only way to find anything is if I get a teller to help me who has no clue what a Wheat penny is (believe me, has happened before) or a teller who could care less about coin collecting. I'm not that lucky, so the tellers usually know what they have and make sure I can't see it to ask for it when I walk in. In all fairness, they're allowed to buy it out of their own tray. I can't blame them. I would just like it if they would let me get some of it every once and a while
