How's everyone doing getting pennies?
So far, I'm still able to get boxes!

In Cincinnati it's the old "We have to save them for businesses" at one branch, then it's "Please take them, we have too many!" at another branch.

Machine wrapped seem uncommon here, but several branches are overloaded with CWR.

Same here, actually. (S.C)
A couple of my bank's branches only allow me to trade box for box, a teller at another branch today was glad to see me, and sold two boxes to me.
I try to do a "penny run" once every week or two.

Most banks that I use will only let me buy a few rolls. I now have 2 banks will sell
me all I want customer wrapped penny rolls. Last time I think I bought $60 from
One of the banks. Funny thing they were happy to get rid of them.

Almost seems that many businesses have stopped getting pennies and opted for "Sorry, no pennies" signs.

That seems odd, but I have to believe it is true.

People fearing they have been demonitized are cashing in.

Good to know if I ever wanted to get back in the game.

I do not, so do not worry about any competition from me.

Sounds like they do not want to get stuck with them, either.

Just in case, that's why I didn't give my exact location.
