Cent rolls can still be unearthed in my region.

Amazing how different penny availability is, between different banks, and even between branches of the same bank!
I even got 12 rolls of what appear to be OBW 2025-P pennies mixed in with my customer wrapped rolls a couple weeks ago.
Went back for more, but no more 2025's.

One bank in my area will order me a box of nickels each week. I have a good relationship with almost all the tellers however they will rarely, if ever, give me pennies. It's a big name bank and they "reserve penny rolls for business customers only." There are a few tellers who will sell me a few dollars periodically if they have "too many" but that is usually like once every few months. I don't think I've scored any pennies at this bank in atleast 2 months...

The other big name bank I use will usually muster up at least $5 in pennies. Sometimes I can get a whole box, but they won't order anything specifically for me. This is the bank that someone has recently turned into a dump so I'm concerned about the long-term viability of getting pennies here will be. Last time I was there I saw a guy picking up a bunch of small dollars. The tellers say a lot of people come in looking for coins. Funny enough - this bank will rarely ever give out more than $20 in nickels.

Wow!
I can typically buy a box or two of nickels, dimes, and quarters, though I usually just trade box for box, so that's really not a concern for me.
I can order halves and dollars, no problem, but have a two-box minimum on them (OK, that's sometimes a problem! )
