Just A Dumb Question

Banks would not separate coins by year, so I do not see how it could be beneficial to ask for "pre-1970" or "pre-1965" anything. How would they know unless they searched the rolls or loose coins?

I think that the bigger issue in searching is not whether the town is small or not, but whether they are any other roll hunters in the area. if so, the town has likely been emptied of all the good stuff by now.

I did not say it was the best option, only an option. some coinstars offer gift cards and a zero% fee. The best option is to find a dump bank.

This Hobby we do Coin Roll Hunting, is not by any means an easy thing, you need to have a plan, from where you buy the coins, to how you get rid of the coins. Heck you could just spend all the change instead of dumping, that is another option.
