Just buy, or order, whole boxes.

That's too bad. I buy and dump at the same bank, and the tellers love me. It is their job to just give it to you. Who cares what they think.

another option is when I dont have the cash to get whole boxes when I stop at a sore and I am getting change I will ask if I can get a roll of cents rather than 2 quarters or if I am getting 3 dollars in change a roll of nickles and 2 rolls of cents they may look at you like you are crazy but I have gotten some nice coins that way

Be honest with them. Tell them "yes I am crazy, I am a nerd and I am addicted to searching rolls of coins because I am a coin collector". After the teller stops laughing hopefully they will bring you what you want.  |

The girls at my bank know I'm a collector, they help me out the best they can, they save up little stuff for me, they order me whatever I want as far as rolls go, and they do it all with a smile.
The truth has it's rewards.

If you always want to get a box a week (or more) it is best to talk to the head teller about ordering boxes for them to sell to you. They will appreciate it.
I was getting 2 boxes every Friday. And the head teller asked me if was going to be doing it all the time. Because if so she would keep extra boxes on hand for me. So it works out to a win-win situation.
Then I dump them at a different bank.

I know how you feel. I got attitude from a teller at Wachovia last week.
I asked for rolls of halves and she cocked her head and said, "No we don't have any! Do you know how many of you guys
come in eery day asking me?!" I was taken aback, so I said "No, I'm sorry, I don't know. How many?" She rolled her eyes and
said, "Next!" She caught me on a bad day as normally I would have brushed her off.

woodywood: I order $100 per month from the same teller every time. The bank I use orders coins each Thursday. I call them @ 11am the first Thursday of each month, ask them to order $100 for me, and then pick them up the second Friday (8 days later). I have been doing this 8 months, and they are now trained to expect the call. I asked them if they would do it automatically each month for me, but I was told to call every month... So far, no inquiries as to what the cents are for! |

Tell them you have a smelter at home and you melt them all down for the bulk metal.
Then since it only looks like a lump of metal, you take it to the Federal Researve so they can use it to amke more coins.
Or you tell them you melt them all down and pour the metal into molds to make toys for kids.
Or you are an avid fishing nut and need lots of sinkers for your fishing equipment so you use coins.
Or you use then in a Wild West show and shoot at them with guns like Annie Oakly did.
Or you have a really big garden at home and your planting those coins to see if they grow into larger ones.
There is really a lot of things you could tell them if they really ask. Most tellers really don't care what you do with your money unless you spend it on them.
