Is it possible to order a box of dollar coins from the bank? I ordered a box of halves, didn't ask about dollar coins. I was told that Susan B. Anthony dollars are mixed with Presidential dollars. Has anyone ordered a box of dollar coins, if so what's the face on a box ($500?) and what did you find? |

I know its possible, but I think the boxes contain $1,000 dollars total.

Yes, at my bank the dollar boxes are $1000, and contain a mixture of SBA, presidential and Sacagawea dollars. I usually don't get a full box, however. |

I picked up a bag of dollar coins from my bank today, and they were glad to get rid of it. When customers deposit dollar coins, the bank just sticks them in a bag. They were all mixed: SBA, presidential and Sacagawea dollars. |

All the banks I frequent always have plenty of dollar coins, and I'm sure if you asked they would be more than happy to give you what rolls they have, and if you want more they could order them. Maybe for a $5 fee or something depending on the bank, but $5 of $1000 is almost nothing.

I was in a bank picking up bags of cents the other day and the teller ask if I was interested in a bag of dollars. $2,000. Told her sorry but I was not interested. This same bank a couple of years ago had three $1,000 boxes of dollars that were setting in the vault wasting space and funds. I took them off their hands. I did find six or seven near date 1979s. Took the rest back to the credit union.

I just talked with my contact this morning about ordering a bag of dollars. She said they could and it would probably be a mixed bag with various types in it. $1000 is going out on Wednesday to see what I end up with. Bank is PNC btw.

Am wanting 2017-P cents from my bank and they don't have and don't seem interesting in getting any for me. Have 38,000.00 in checking account and am very much wanting to take it out and into another bank.

My bank doesn't seem to care if they get new or old currency when they order... and typically they get enough stock on hand from local businesses to prevent them from ordering more on a regular basis.
They have no problem ordering me anything I may want to look at, but there is no guarantee on quality, condition, new, or old... to them money is just money and in their eyes it all spends the same... so it's always a gamble and the hunt is always fun... especially when you pull a gem out of circulation that everyone else overlooked!

Welcome rustynail66. I noticed you did not specify which dollar coins you were looking for. Personally, I'd have interest in only Eisenhower dollar coins, and roll hunters have been able to order bags of them at times. Finds have included silver Ikes, Peace and Morgan dollars in the mix. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...

Thanks to this thread, I just ordered a box of dollar coins. What should I look for? Obviously, I'll pray for Morgans, Peace, Trade, Seated, Bust (yeah right!). I know very little about modern dollars. Are ALL Eisenhower dollars worth more than face? Is there a list of collectable dates for the more modern coins? |

The box is likely to be small dollars rather than large ones.

Quote: Are ALL Eisenhower dollars worth more than face? Is there a list of collectable dates for the more modern coins? In my mind, yes, but in reality, no. High grade business strikes, 40% silver issues, proofs, and anything from 1973 should offer a premium. Of course, if you are building a set from scratch, they are all keepers until the hole is filled.  Quote:

Are there any of small dollars worth saving? If not, maybe I should just open the box at the bank and return them if there are no large dollars on first glance.

There are small dollar varieties and errors. Missing the edge lettering on Presidential dollars is one. Returning coins to the same bank is not recommended: you may get the same coins on your next visit, and it may cause the bank to re-evaluate supplying coins for your needs. |

@man2004 - regardless, returning your order to the same bank, especially in that manner, is the fastest way to get cut off from ordering priviledges. The last thing a bank teller wants to do is handle coin, and word gets out, even to other branches.
