Don't they charge 9%?

Keep Brinks and String, give me the handwraps that customers made when they emptied their piggy banks.

customer wrapped are always fun too! could hit the mother load of wheats or BU 70's or 60's. I asked my bank last year to save me "old wrapped" coins and when I came back she saved me 5 or 6 OBW of 60-s and 70s and $6 in wheat rolls..

When I actively roll searched, it was only the customer wrapped rolls. I was completely unaware of carrier wrapped coins and boxes until I joined this forum, many years after I had stopped roll searching. I still think they are the best opportunity for good finds; as long as they are legitimate customer rolls and not another person's dump.

I have had better luck with paper rolls but the best results buying pennies that that bank has taken in ($50 bags)

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.
Rest in Peace

If nothing else, they pay a delivery charge. It costs a lot of money to drive an armored car around, plus two guards, etc.
