you go into your credit union and ask for $25 in rolled cents and the teller says she doesn't think they have that much in the vault.  I have decided to take on roll hunting and when I went into my credit union today to cash my check and ask for rolls, that was the response I got. She asked another teller and that teller said, yes we have that much, give me a minute and I'll go get them. While waiting, my teller kept looking at me like I had two heads, but did not ask what I was going to do with them all. I do not know yet if I will return them to the CU so they have some for the next guy that asks, or take them to my other bank. |

You might want to take them back, otherwise they might not have any at all!  |

I had the same response when requesting a box of nickels, except I never got any. They did offer me 5 or 6 rolls to hold me over for the weekend. Guess they thought I was a business. What I did was went to three different banks and got 10 rolls at each one. Also asked about the new cents and was informed they had no idea when they would get any and could not special order. Was told all they can do is order cents and what ever they send is what they get. One teller actually suggested that I may have better luck at the grocery store across the street because they get their own shipments.

Um, two tellers at the credit union? You have two? I must really live in a small town, we only have one and there isn't anywhere for her to go "to go get them". So, I go to the bank, that's where my credit union goes, too. :)

I went to open an account in a bank in the town my wife came from. They didn't have account numbers. Your last name was the account. If, for some reason there were two people with the same last name, the first name took over. They had no half dollars, no $2 bills, no bags of anything. Asking such questions did not effect the lines of people. There weren't any.

If you get checks, you have to have a numerical account number. I think just carl is having a little fun with us. I bet it was a blood bank. Or, maybe another type of family friendly discussion place?  |

No fun this time. Of course this was about 20 years ago or so. The town was about 200 population wise and that was when all the dogs were counted. No street lights, no cops, no traffic signals, etc. Main street was that bank, one tavern, one grain store, one small co-op, one grocery store. I think the same people worked in all of them. Nearest large, hugh town was about 18,000 and they did have traffic signals. My wife said when she was a kid all the kids got together to go to that town and watch the traffic signals.
The main purpose of that bank was just for that town.
I suspect most people here have always lived in a modern society invironment. I too came from a place where in house plumbing was just coming of age.
I'm really surprized at how many people don't know what life outside a city is like sometimes. Have you ever walked in cow pies in the Winter to keep your feet warm?
