Cwr

You have to keep asking until you find a bank that has them. I don't deal with the large banks in my area as they all have coinstars and do not accept CWR nor will they sell the bags from the coinstar. It took me about 2 months of going to different small branches in the area to get several banks lined up. Most of the smaller branches may not have a coinstar, so customers have to wrap before bringing them in. And the vault teller in the small banks is more than happy to get rid of the rolls customers wrap so she doesn't have to package and send coins out so often. The banks I deal with don't wrap anything so if they are not in the tight crimped end tubes they are cwr. Also do not dump at your supply bank, as far as my tellers know I keep all the coins I get. I dump at my credit union which has their own coin star and does not charge a fee to use it.

If you find a bunch of CWR, you may have found someones dump, because of what bigfredd mentioned. But if you are lucky you could stumble upon someones collection that was turned into the bank not knowing what they had.

Here I've only seen one coin counter at a school credit union. No other bank or financial institution seems to have one (in the open at least) so its going to be difficult to find a place to dump regularly. The coinstars that are around tend to be in supermarkets or drugstores and well you all know about the ripoff prices. .

I've found several solid silver rolls of halves in the last year. The other poster was right, halves just aren't used in commerce much anymore. It all depends on luck....getting to the line soon after someone dumps a collection....get there before someone else does....which may mean weekly visits to the bank. Some banks will not see halves come in, period.

Do you just come into the bank and say I want customer wrapped rolls or do you just say I want rolls? When I ask its usually from the tray or they get one of those sucky machine wrapped rolls.
