I usually order boxes, but I always offer to take any extra coinage they want to get rid of. I have recently found that three of the bank/credit unions I purchase from have 3 different suppliers. One uses Brinks, another Loomis, and a third uses Garda.
The credit unions order coins less frequently than the banks, but I have good relationships with all of them and they keep me busy with boxes and customer rolls.
I do not mark my returns as my dump bank is a credit union with a free coin counter machine for members. I can punch in my account number and make a direct deposit with a receipt from the machine. The only time I have to get in the teller line is when I fill up one of the machine's bags (always annoys the tellers). We recently moved a CD to that credit union and I made sure to tell them their machine was one of the reasons.
Here's a funny story. One of the banks I buy from had ordered a couple of boxes of quarters for me and said they would be in on Wednesday. On that Wednesday I had been to my dump bank and noticed the Brinks truck at the bank I was expecting to get quarters from. I pulled in and went inside and they said she had not brought the coins in yet. I pulled up a chair and waited. Waited and waited. Finally the security guard came in and said, "No coinage today, she can't get the vault door open." Now that's secure! I came back the next Wednesday and got my 2 boxes of quarters, plus $700 in customer wrapped rolls that had just been dropped off. Timing is everything!
Last week I made one of my usual trips to the dump bank to deposit coins and stopped by my main credit union to deposit some checks. They said they had a couple of boxes of halves and dollars someone else had ordered but had not picked up. Did I want them? Well, of course. They will get more cookies next week. :)

Good story! You're singing my song brother! You in Maryland be any chance? I dump my coins at a credit union also.
I'm searching boxes of dollar coins at the moment.
This is a test. Question: Do you know what I'm looking for?
I also mark them... Why?
The other 8 will be fun spenders. Fun with money!
