You might not be aware of the fact that many banks keep a small box in their vault that contains non-U.S. coins or tokens that may have emerged from rolls as they operate their daily business. Ask your teller if they do indeed have such a box and ask for the coins that might be contained therein and see what happens! You just might be surprised at the result. They might simply give you a blank stare, indicating that they think you're squirrel bait or they might actually offer you some unusual coins to add to your collection.

jbuck Moderator United States 189340 Posts	Posted 06/27/2016 2:03 pm A good article, and not just because there is an Eisenhower dollar so prominently located. I hope it will inspire more than a handful of you to start asking if you have never asked before.

mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 06/27/2016 2:35 pm I routinely ask for large dollars (they call them "BO Dollars" down in the south) and 9+/10 times it's a no. But every so often they have one or a few. I accumulated several hundred Ikes this way over the years, including some tough Friendly Eagle 71D varieties and some nice AU-BU coins. So keep asking. Sometimes you will get them. However, I also tried asking them to order them- they are supposed to be still available from the Federal Reserve. I have seen some threads on people here on CCF that have gotten them successfully ordered. But not where I live. Report this Post to the Staff

Why not just carry a few examples in your pocket? Makes things much simpler. Before I quit roll hunting a year or so ago, I turned down a teller's offer of 160 Ike dollars, which I had always bought in the past. What was I thinking? When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff

qaman Valued Member United States 175 Posts	Posted 08/18/2016 2:17 pm I always ask for large dollars and usually pick up a few every month from tellers, they don't have them often but who knows maybe I'll hit the jackpot one day. Picked up 8 Eisenhower's last week nothing special but I can usually sell them for $2 at garage sales to people who want them for their grand kids. Report this Post to the Staff
