I am curious, how much do banks pay when they buy rolls from Brinks or String? I assume they don't pay above face when they get coins from the Fed? But they must pay above face when getting circulated rolled coins from a company that rolls?
My bank always asks if I have an account when I ask for pennies. So I go to miltiple branches in my area, when I am out and about.I figured that they would get annoyed if I kept getting a $25 box every week from the same bank. Plus I never get more than $10 at a time, usually $5.
Only once did a bank only have uncirculated pennies. I said no thanks and walked out.
