I went to the bank last week and asked for any Silver or Nickle Dollars and or 50 cent pieces that they may have. I walked out with 23 Nickle dollars, 1 Silver dollar and $75 in 50 cent coins.
From that visit, I have turned up 4, 1982 small bead variety 50 cent pieces, 1, 1965 SILVER DOLLAR and two silver 50 cent coins.
Not bad for a quick stop at the bank.

Regarding the gentleman who got the silver nickel dollars and 50 cent pieces from the bank: I am amazed and pleased for him. Please help me understand. I have never seen a nickel dollar or a 50 cent piece in change since I was a young man. Why would a bank have them if they are not presently in circulation? Have at me folks, I must be missing something. I greatly appreciate that you are here to talk to.

 to the forum dukester. It is not unusual to find these at banks.They get hold of them from customers tuning the coins in.I have myself asked various tellers"has anyone turned in half or silver dollars?" Just last year I got 2 half dollar MINT rolls,a few nickel dollars,a few Kennedy halves when I asked one of the tellers+1 Canadian 1960 half dollar. I assume the banks eventually return non circulating coinage to the mint. I hope this helps dukester  Great one Darryl  Edited by collectall

That was actually the second time I went to the bank and came back with silver and nickel dollars.
The bank manager told me that when they obtain the silver and nickel dollars etc, they put it aside in the safe and will send them for destruction once they collect a certain amount.
It really is a sin! I hope someone is monitoring which coins and year of the coins are being destroyed!

To Collectall,
Thank you so much for the info on Dollars and 50 cent pieces a bank might carry. I have never asked my bank because I guessed it would be a silly question. Duh ah.........
