The key is to have a nice bank ( one that stresses local activities and being friendly), be considerate, as it is not usually their place to provide bulk coins free for retail customers compared to the more expensive business accounts as mine has to pay fees to obtain a box. So usually they have to order ahead of time, and they are saving the boxes for commercial needs. One of my friends takes the tellers coupons and gift certificates for food places, and they even call him when old bills come in. ( social engineering). After a great run in 2009 getting boxes of all 4 types, I took each teller a vf Indian cent, and gave the vault teller also a nice common Buffalo nickle for his kid. Maybe it is wrong and takes some time :) but it works. I don't go in every day, just about once a month. last time was a full box of 2011-D cents.
