Can you go to a bank and exchange rolls of dimes for different rolls of dimes?  |

I don't see why you could not if you have a bank that takes rolls. My main banks will not take rolled coins so when I got a box of all 2011 I had to open each roll. It was kind of a pain, but fun looking for errors.

I'm sure you can but that'll probably wouldn't sit well with the teller.

You can, just don't expect to get any kind of special treatment from the teller...ever.

ok thanks. So would you recommend that I get coins for bills at one bank and bills for coins at another?

I don't normally do it. I have before, though. One teller actually asked if I wanted to exchange rolls!

Yup, exchange for bills, deposit them, exchange for rolls of other demoninations also.... just don't get rolls from a bank, then take them back to the same bank. Have a search bank, and have another separate bank as your dump bank where you bring back your already searched coins.

agreed with Jango. Never exchange coins for the same coins at a bank. Tellers would get annoyed. Change rolls for cash. then go to another bank and get more coins.

As many as you can afford...or as many as you can search through at one time.

as many as you want to search... as long as they have enough. I usually purchase a box at a time which is 50 rolls. although once and a while your bank may not have as much as you want. then just buy whatever they are willing to give up.

Used to be a time when if you searched dimes, they thought you crazy. Nowadays, everyone's crazy.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

I have been roll searching for about 6 years and I always go to my bank and exchange rolls. My tellers always know what I want and are always very good about exchanging. A couple of things that help:
1.mark your rolls in an obvious way so you don't research rolls you have already seen and show them your mark so they don't give you those rolls again.
2.tell the tellers WHY you want to exchange rolls if they ask or have a puzzled look on their face.
3. show them the cool things you find occasionally.
4.cookies and/or chocolate are great lubricants for greasing the wheels of commerce!
5. be kind and be respectful of their job. Sometimes your request may be a huge imposition,if so,come back later or go elsewhere.

when I was a bank teller I would never allow a customer to exchange rolls for rolls, if they wanted to do that I would show them to the coin machine

More and more banks are getting a little ticked off with people playing the take out and return coins for their hobby. More and more are starting to charge for taking in or giving out bulk coinage. Many are now taking in rolls due to all the short rolls lately. Those are the ones missing a coin in each roll. By me the latest practice when you bring in any bulk coins is they send them out for counting and the results are posted in your next bank statement. There is a charge for that service. NO account. They send you a check and a bigger charge for that service. Many banks in my area are getting rid of coin counting machines since they now do the sending out system. Way to amy people take out bulk coins and then just return them.
According to an officer at a Bank of Americaa by me, all their branch banks will start doing this soon.
