How To Get New Rolls Of US Coins

Here's the scoop. Call your bank branches. Give your full name and that you are an account holder. Make sure you note the persons name when they answer also and use it a couple times(it promotes that you care and they will usually be more helpful)

OK so now you've broken the ice, then explain "I was wondering if I could order new quarters from you, like a box of $500 or whatever you'll let me do. I get a few rolls here or there from the tellers and they are customer wrapped and they are full of foreign or short coins, and I'm really looking for some shiny new coins."

1. The person on the phone will say "I'm sorry I can't do that, they send us what we get."

2. Yeah sure I can do that. I'll order a box in you can come in on xxx day and get what you want or take the box."

It will be whatever day they get their order in, they might want to set a time like "after 11" or a day later.

It's pretty much a 50/50 gamble. Everyone except credit unions can order from an armored carrier for the fed and get weekly deliveries, it's just whether or not they want to be bothered to do it for you. By being friendly and giving your name and using their name it makes it a bit more personal and friendly and more likely they will be helpful.

I called on Monday before last for my first time to try to order a box. The guy was really helpful and friendly and he told me to come in this past wednesday to pick up (so it was a 9 day wait I missed their ordering day). I went in and met they guy in person. Again helpful and I got my box of quarters.

So, I stopped in today to see if I could get a few more rolls, and he was out in the lobby getting ready to close, talked to him some more, told him I roll hunt with my niece and nephew on Sundays and that I searched some rolls and they were great to hunt with them.

He told me he ordered another box for me to pickup on Monday at lunchtime "just in case I wanted more of them". He sound like he's well aware of coin roll hunters and is cool with it.

Even if it isn't brand new coins like you wanted be enthusiastic and thankful and take them. Eventually you will get what you're looking for if he keeps ordering a new box a week for you or whatever the timing is you want. In the end its money out and money in at face values, just a hassle to pick up and get rid of them but that's all part of the hunt.

I'll get him a gift card for publix supermarket or McDonald's or dunkin donuts or something along the way just to show appreciation and keep it cool and so he don't feel it becomes "too much work for nothing" when I up my orders to multiple boxes.

One thing though, don't dump the quarters there unles's they say it's cool and even then don't dump where you get unless you have to, because they will build up and then they won't be able to order at some point also and you will get what you have already searched.

Use a different branch or bank to dump or a coinstar if you have to and if you feel like you might be causing a difficulty for that person getting you the coins, take a break for a week or two,let it calm down and give them a break from it or its a good time for a gift card or something just to show appreciation for that person going out of their way for you.

Once that friendly relationship is established, and not abused, you should be able to get what you want... within reason of course.
My get bank doesn't want anything to do with half dollars or dollar coins for instance, circulating type coins up to quarters sure, no problem, but the bigger stuff.. nope.

For a dump bank I like my credit union. They have a branch with a coin counting machine and that branch is usedoing to supply coins to the other branches and they will take everything up to half dollars also so it works for me and I don't have to roll and no fees.

Anyways that's exactly what I did, and it worked. I called exactly 2 of my bank branches, the one closest to me told me they can't do it. The 2nd one I called was this guy and that's now my "coin dude".

Give it a shot, worst they can say is "no" but you'll have better results being friendly and honest about what you're doing. Just don't tell too much if it's good finds like silvers because you don't want them searching also, and who knows maybe that relationship leads to him holding odd coins for you that you might want when they come in like silvers or Morgan dollars ect. Also.

It's worth a gift card or donuts a couple times a year for the access I think.

Oh yeah, and one more thing, the banks don't and can't order from the Fed anymore. They order from the armored carriers, and the armored carriers are contracted by the Fed for storage and distribution services. The Fed locations are basically just offices now a days that perform other function besides distributing cash to banks.. I guess best way to put it is they outsourced that function to the armored carriers and just perform oversight to make sure nothing goes missing in the supply chain.

Even if the bank is willing to order boxes for you, they can't specifically order new coins. All they can do is order boxes and it is just luck of the draw as to what you receive.

It's a roll of the dice. Even if you receive a sealed box from the carrier service, it does not guarantee it's not a box full of flimsy re-rolls from a roll hunter re-packed by the courier. It's happened to several of us numerous times.

This week's box was a sealed circulated box of quarters. Different shape box with sideways rolls and a glue paper seal, paper rolls without branding besides $10 quarters on them, no NF Sting or Loomis.

I took em and will search em, maybe something there, maybe next week's box will be uncirculated again. All part of the game.
Main point of this thread is establishing a bank that will order you a box and getting it on a regular basis to up the chances of getting an uncirculated box here or there along the way.

I thought MoneyTree was a payday lender, like a "check cashing store" or something along those lines?

My get bank Chase isn't charging a fee to do it, at least not yet. I even asked if there was a fee to do it or they had a surcharge to order and I was told no problem just nothing over quarters they won't order halfs or dollars regardless if they charged to do it.

I'm sure if I was getting multiple boxes at a time or being a pain, abusing it, they would charge me to do it but so far so good.

Worst part of this is some rolls may appear to be all new coins but when you open them, all just mixed up anyway.
