According to the latest market reports, Bank of America might not last that much longer anyways (unless they get deemed too big to fail).

My hole plan is to take my searched rolls to another branch of my bank get cash for them. Then go back to the bank that always hooks me up with there good stuff, to get more coins.

My bank is more than happy to do it for me. I call the manager up the day before she places the coinage order and then I pick it up the next week.

I never dump there, though I will exchange say a roll of halves for a roll of quarters or some such thing.

One thing that helps is the line, "I'd like to buy a box of pennies, if you have enough to do so".

They ask what I do with them, I'm honest. I also tell them that I used to smoke two packs a day (not a lie) and sorting helps keep my hands busy and is relaxing. At this point they congratulate me for quitting smoking and are happy to help.

My dump bank is one where the manager made me mad. I go there, dump the coins, then take the cash up to the branch that I like.

I also help. This week she made a mistake on the coin order and asked if I'd be willing to take some extra. I figured why not.

The other thing I can recommend is shopping around for a bank that accepts bagged coins. I've got a klopp counter, so counting out 25.00 in pennies isn't that difficult.

I don't know if you have a TD bank in your area, but I opened an account with them just for coin searching. I randomly met a branch manager at a friend's party and told him how much it sucks when tellers have attitudes about it. He told me to come to his bank and it would be an issue. I go in and I dump my bucket o'change into the coin counter (which is free) then bring my slip up to the teller and one of the tellers always says "More coins or do you feel frisky today and want to search bills?" while laughing. I tell him how I never feel frisky!
At the other banks I've used I never had much of problem, you just need to have the right attitude. I usually say if it's an issue I'll take bills, if it's cool with you I'll take more coins. I find that once they see you a few times they get interested. When they find out I'm not looking for jsut silver they get really intrigued and ask how the previous search went.

I once found myself at a Bank of America that I seldom travel to, and decided to trade one searched box of nickels for another sealed box. The teller gave me a blank stare for a few seconds and asked if anything was wrong with the old box and why I was returning it.
