How To Find Customer Wrapped/Bagged Rolls

Hey that's a great question O, sounds like you are doing the right thing, it just takes lots of footwork and/or calling to find out. There's no easy answer that's for sure. Not very many coin counters in my area, so that's an advantage for me. That means that customer coin rolls build up and if they surplus I get 'em. Trial and error my friend...good luck

I spend a lot of time on the phone researching where to go. Most of what I look through is cents, and they seem to be relatively easy to find CWR's of. Most banks around where I am are happy to give you rolls whether or not you have an account, as long as you don't overdo it ("May I have $100 in pennies please?").

Try a local credit union. The ones in my area always have CWR's.

Haha maybe you stumbled onto my drop bank

Its pure luck and if they do they wanna know if you bank with them. I have been lucky with these ladies on the military base I work on that is all they give me is customer rolls its great but when I go to the little store on post all they have is uncirculated 2010 Lincoln cents they give them up too lol gotta love Alaska wish they had more coin shows here I need to go back to philly .

Just to clarify, I don't have trouble getting coin, though they do limit me most of the time. I'm trying to get my hands on the stuff the customers bring in to the banks. I know for fact that banks around here allow employees and security guards go through the coins. I feel confident it would be lucrative around here if I could get coins that are coming straight out of the piggy banks or registrars. Problem is I believe most of the banks either save that coin for someone or have a 'policy' of not giving the coins off the coin counters to the customer. I've tried the two credit unions that I'm a member of. I think the 'policy' is a bs way of saying 'we have someone else who already goes through these.

The coin in brinks boxes has just dried up here and I'm frustrated. The last $12,000 in halves has produced 1 40%er. Dimes are about 1 out of every $500 I found, and its usually one I would miss if I just rim-searched. I can 'have fun' with nickels and pennies but I need to bring a little money in with my hobby too. That's how I convince my wife that its a good idea to let me spend 3 hours every night 'playing with my coins' :)

right now I only do cents . But like you I have a trouble time getting CWR in my area brinks and NF String boxes I can get $500.00 a week if I could go throw that many

It's just the opposite here. You must bring in rolls, unless arranged otherwise (only one CU that I use will accept loose in $500 bags). So, your banks have to count the loose coin manually? What if you brought in larger amounts such as $500-$1,000, or more?
