nothing  . I only did one roll and knew that the odds were against me, so not disappointed at all. I though I had something because I got a 1970 no mint mark, but the article I was reading from failed to include that it had to be a proof, and this dime was clearly not a proof. But I did get a 2014 dime and nice start to my set. Just an odd tidbit, I wanted to trade some single dollar bills in for dollar coins, and they said that they didn't have any. Aren't most banks begging for you to take them off of their hands? |

If they have them. Banks aren't required to stock them. Basically we only have them if someone comes in to unload them onto us.

Banks are evil entities and mostly garbage...I would highly recommend changing to a credit union. Good luck in the hunt!

Jbuck- I use Navy Fed, and the bank manager actually told me yesterday that if I wanted a better bet getting boxes of coins I should look for a bank, because CU's don't usually have them unless their customer wrapped. ( I'm ditching navy fed, and finding a bank for my CRH)

SoCal, what you must do is place an order for your boxes. Otherwise, eventually you will annoy the bejeebus out of your bank tellers.
Usually you can receive your order the same week.

I have personally found it impossible to get a fifty cent piece. First, even though I live in the suburbs, I work in the country. So I don't pass my bank on the way to or from work. Also, I work before the banks open and after they close. And when I can get to my bank-- any branch, they all say they won't order a box. One bank claimed it would order me one and it would be in on Tuesday and when I got there on the Monday following that Tuesday...they said they had sent it back on Friday (they kept it 3 days) because I never showed up. So now they have my number and claim they will call me when this crazy box does ever show up.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I doubt that I will join a Credit Union just because of convenience(I live 10 minutes away from 3 different banks). Just out of curiosity, why are Credit Union better iyo?

Banks pay .1% interest on savings, and take 18% on loans, and have the nerve to charge a monthly $10 fee to maintain a savings account.
Credit unions have none of that as they are non-profit.
I've cancelled several bank accounts because of greedy maintainance fees.
