Ever Been Denied Rolls/Boxes At A Bank?

"I think they have been on to it for a while. They only act when the cost of doing so is less than the cost of not. This is why I feel it is good to pace yourself, try to fly under the radar." --JBuck

For everyone new here, this is the mantra. Otherwise you will kill your sacred cow very quickly. Don't order too much at once, don't get greedy. Always be courteous.

Halves normally are boxed in $500 amounts. I've never had much luck with boxes of halves, even as far back as five years ago. They are searched to death, and I get tired of 15 boxes of zero keepers, then maybe one box with a 40%, I have not the patience. I have had great luck with dimes, they give up silver consistently now for over six years.

I've been hunting for almost a year now.

I started by chatting with the lead teller at my local branch about getting a box of halves. She told me that another guy orders in boxes and that it wouldn't be a problem. Well, two boxes later, I had found nothing and decided that cents were the way to go. They are plentiful and don't keep a chunk of change in limbo.

The tellers at this particular branch are a CRHer's dream to work with as they will order whatever I ask them to. That being said, if I order something, I ALWAYS pick it up - honesty and punctuality is appreciated.

Curiously enough, the branch that my employer uses (the same bank but the branch that's 1.5 miles away from the one I use) won't give me boxes. I have several accounts with them, my employer has two accounts with them and they are blatantly rude about not letting me get boxes.
