Bank Limits On Penny Boxes?

need to ask your bank think it will vary branch to branch

Your bank may, or may not, limit the number of boxes you can "buy" at any givin time.
For example; If my bank has several boxes in their vault they will let me have multiple boxes. However, if they do not have several boxes in their vault they will only let me have one or maybe none. They like to save them for their business account customers.

Some banks will let you place a standing order for boxes of any coin, not just pennies, for you to pick up on a regular scheduled basis.

Not all boxes come from the Federal Reserve. Many are from armored car companies like Brinks, Loomis or Garda. They get both rolled coin from the Fed and loose coin from banks, coinstar type companies, stores, etc. They then count and roll it themselves then sell to their customer banks. Brinks in my area gets loose coin from the fed and co-mingles it with loose coin from other sources and rolls it that way. Garda in my area usually gets loose new coin from the fed and rolls it by itself and rolls "used" coin separately.

It all depends what bank you use and what armored car company they use and their contacts with the Fed.

Boxes of pennies are $25.00 face value.

Kind of long winded but hope it helped to explain.

And......

All depends on the office you deal at.

Like previously stated, depends on the branch. I've been doing this for about a month so I am new to this as well, but I have been "feeling" how the tellers react at each branch to my penny purchases to determine what I can probably get from them. As I increase my penny needs at a particular branch they will either be very hesitant to it or very positive to it. Be very nice to them, remember they are doing you a favor as a customer by getting you pennies. They pay a fee to Brinks or whoever they are getting them from to get them for you.
I have one branch ordering me 3 boxes each week in their orders until I tell them to stop. I have another branch that I get 2 boxes from each week and the teller says "see you next week". I will probably try to get a 3 box a week order with them as well. I stopped in a new bank today that my wife has an account with that we never got around to putting my name on and asked for pennies. They gave me the $10 they had and mentioned they could order me $50 or $100 if I need. I mentioned it to my wife tonight and will be getting my name on the account ASAP. I like it when they bring up ordering pennies for me they tend to me much more receptive for longer term orders.
I also have been to branches that will give me CWR's only and back off quickly when I discuss a box or boxes of pennies.

, tuleja!

I have called ahead of time and ordered 8 boxes at a time from a small local bank I am a member of with no problems. They can not order from the Fed, they come from an armored car company. Most of the time I order 4 boxes and I call a week in advance. I turn in my rejects rolled to another bank in a near by city. I also go to a different local bank and ask for two boxes every other month and they sell me them even though I am not a member.

My banks dont have counting machines like some but I just reroll mine(you can reroll a box in less than 20 min). I take $50 in rolled coins to my bank and trade them for 2 boxes of coins. I always get sealed boxes so I never get the same pennies I turned in. That way it's not costing the bank anything to order me boxes. it's an even trade. It's hard for them to complain about that.

I'm just curious, why do people like to order boxes of Pennies?
Are you looking for the copper ones, wheats, flaws, etc..?
Whenever I ordered a box of pennies once, they were all new.
No intrensic value in the new ones, right?
