I dumped coin at two banks today (I generally dump pennies and dimes separately) and I managed to score a few dollar coins from the two bank tellers. I guess it pays to ask the tellers if they have anything interesting! No silver, but obsolete coinage is always fun.  |

Nice. You never know until you ask I guess. I am going to do the same, when payday gets here.

I scored 37 Ikes today. No silver but need to check for varieties.

My bank never has IKES ... and SBAs are a rare find there too ... I'd be happy to bring those home at 1-4-1 cost

A bank I hit a week or so back, said they had three Ike's if I was interested...... I was ! (scored nothing on their halves though....and the Ike's were really beat up....but oh well !) And, while getting a coffee/donuts the other day....I noticed a bunch of Sac's in the cash register. So I bought about 8 Sacs and some obsolete President Dollars.....(my Nephew has some missing !   ) Only one or two of the Sac's were really worth keeping.....most were really beat up......but.......might fill a hole for now until I can upgrade em'. |

I think it might be a commentary on their current relevance. Not that I agree with it.  |

 I thought that might "get somebody" !....  It's a "borrowed" term that someone else used on CCF recently, when referencing Presidential dollars that have come out and been gone now from "recent release". But yeah....certainly isn't meant to be a "textbook definition" of the first few Presidential dollars that came out....  |

I love the Presidential dollar coins... I really wish they would circulate more... they are PERFECT for vending machines. |

I got many SBAs from the banks, but nerve found IKE.
I received 250 Washington coins from the US Mint today. I opened 4 rolls to check something unusual, but found nothing. I will give these coins to my boys for the purchase of toys. (They need to perform well to receive a coin.) I am waiting for my Thomas Jefferson.

Actually got three more Ikes and eight more SBAs on the way home today. No luck with halves, but one teller had 66 $2 bills (I rifled through them but didn't buy anything). Never though I'd find an Ike in the wild let alone twice in a row.

At the end of last summer, I bought $120 in Ikes from my bank. I sold them the next day at my garage sale for about $140.

Try grocery store customer service. No silver so far, but lots of SBAs!
