Boxes?

The use of that word refers to "bank boxes" of circulating coins---the way the bank branches get them from the coin processing/delivery courier services like Brinks, Loomis, etc.

A box of halves=$500, quarters=$500, dimes=$250, nickels=$100 and pennies=$25. Each box is made up of 50 rolls of coins.

You can get boxes of coins from the banks (with luck, without any fee for the "service"), but Brinks, Loomis, etc won't deal directly with you.

Happy hunting!

Thanks guys!

At my bank I call ahead and order 4 to 8 boxes of cents a week in advance and my bank gets String & Sons rolls. You should never take back the searched rolls to the same bank you get them from as a general rule. Good luck fellow roll hound

Some banks, instead of issuing rolls in squared boxes, just give you blocks of rolls.

Well ya you can do that but sometimes you can run into problems. For example the customer wrap rolls could have already been searched. I live in a small town and know there are other roll hunters and have been skunked a couple of times. All the copper cents gone or each cent lined up obverse. But sometimes have good finds from people who have no clue. As John said, do not return the coins back to the same bank. I did this once and the teller a few days later gave me my own marked rolls back to me lol.
Now I get the Fed Wrap boxes or courier boxes and ask for old cents only. The tellers know me and now know what I want.
It is all in the thrill of the hunt and plain luck.

They won't have "boxes that are old coins" but they may sometimes have limited amounts of customer-wrapped rolls ("CWR"). Those can be more productive than
bank boxes but they can also be a double-edged blade, as those rolls may have already been searched. Don't underestimate the # CRHers in your area.

I've found small #s of CWRs are sometimes most productive, but other times they'll be a zilch... Watch out especially for CWRs that are marked with one or more
X's on the side. I've never found anything in one of those; I think that's a sure sign that means "CRHer has been here."

Above all else---as said above, do your pick-ups at one bank and your dumping at another (preferably not just a different branch, but a different bank and preferably
not close to your pickup bank).

On picking up... I get to know the person (generally head teller) who orders the coins and place my orders directly and a week in advance by phone with him/her.
They like that kind of consideration--and if what you ordered gets loused up or just doesn't show up, be 120% patient and cool w/ it. He/she will be shocked by your
courtesy/understanding/patience and will be your friend forever.

When you do your dumping... Banks generally ship out coins in these quantities---Halves=$1K; Quarters=$1K; Dimes=$1K; Nickels=$200; Pennies=$100. If you do
your dumping in those quantities as well as preferably early in the day and early in the week, your dumped coins will most likely get shipped out quickly for processing
and rerolling. This helps ensure that you won't be rehunting your own dumps later.

That's because you are costing them time and money, that they could put to use better serving their account holders.

Sorry---I didn't even think to mention it above... I only pick up and dump at banks where I'm an account holder. Banks are in business to make money and they don't make any money by extending
courtesies and services to non account holders. I count myself lucky and happy that my banks don't charge for getting me boxes. Many CCF CRHers have to pay a per box fee (which, if I ever face
that, will be the final day of my CRHing period). You really do need to have accounts at your pickup and dump banks (or credit unions). It's pretty much a necessary part of playing this game.
