Anyone have any issues trying to get half dollar rolls at their bank? I went to a Chase as I was in downtown Chicago and the lady did not have any when I asked. What's the best bet to obtain half dollar rolls?

I've found that sometimes my bank has them, sometimes they don't. So if I have the time, if I don't find them at one bank, I go to the next one down the street and keep asking until I get lucky.

Or you can order nice new freshly minted rolls from the bank (for an extra cost, of course!).

If you spend $1,000 on a basic credit card with rewards you should get between $10 to $50 in cash back that can be redeemed for check or gift cards ranging from 1x to 2x the value. So ultimately $1,000 on my credit card results in $20 to $50. (No need to deal with change or carry them around wondering when to spend) Just another way to look at it :)
