My records:
from one bank, with ordering ahead: 20 boxes of pennies
from one bank, without ordering ahead: 11 boxes of pennies
in one day, from multiple banks: 27 boxes of pennies

Three boxes of cents in one bank trip. A total of 6 for one day going to several banks. That was an exhausting day. 114 cents boxes gone through, and haven't found my first WAM yet :( |

You got 11 boxes without ordering in advance? If I don't warn them in advance I might not even get ONE box. They don't seem to stock quite that much coin (or if they do, they reserve most of it for business accounts that actually need it.) I can't imagine a single bank even being willing to order more than about half a dozen boxes (again, excepting business accounts.)
The most I've ever picked up from one bank in a day is three boxes (cents, nickels and dimes). I might have gotten halves a the same time but that would have been from a different bank.
Ordering more would make carrying it dubious... I make my bank rounds by bicycle.

I got 4 boxes of halves once. Just walked in and they had them. Teller said they were ordered by mistake. She said I could have them if I did not bring them back.

In Australia we dont have boxes of coins but the most face value I've collected from a bank and searched is around $1100. I did have to order it and make 3 trips to the car and back.

Mine was two boxes of nickels, and a box of halves. But then again, I just started, so I'm sure with time, I'll get more at once.

12 boxes or $3k in dimes. I found 27 silvers if I remember right. A couple mercs and also 6 Barber dimes from that order, about 3 years ago. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...

Holy cow Penny man, how long did those last? Are you a speed searcher, looking for only certain varieties/errors? I've gotten tired of cents and doing nickels is a good change. A box of pennies will last about 1 week, I can go through a box of nickels in one short night. Oh, your OP, 1 nickel and 1 penny in 1 visit. |

5 boxes of cents and 2 boxes of nickels. I carried them out by hand all in one load. Needless to say I thought my arm was going to fall off as I held them while unlocking the car with the other arm. Never again!

I've ordered ahead and walked out with 10 boxes of nickels. If I don't order though, like the Captain said, I'd be lucky to get one box.
