Don't get discouraged. Just keep doing this weekly or bi-weekly and you may start to see some decent returns. I believe most people are getting skunked on 50% of the boxes they search.

At least you got 300 in halves! =)

If I make a trip around town to the 10-12 BofAs, I am lucky to get $10 in halves (that is on a good day). They'll only check their drawers for me, if that.

After the New Year I am going to open a few savings accounts at other banks around town to increase the ones I can visit for coins. I might even use my tax return this year as seed money for bank buys... muhahahahahaha!

I've been getting very low yields this year... And now all of my banks are starting to cut me off. Not sure I can make the transition to new banks.

I have searched several rolls, but I haven't found anything yet either. When I save enough I'll buy a box a try my luck again. Don't give up!
Happy Hunting!
