Got a 1957D wheat back penny and a Puerto Rico quarter. O frabjuous day... I got 3 NMI quarters in change at a Jack-In-The-Box yesterday, then bought a full roll off of them. The cashier says they use Bank of America for their change, so I'll have to call a few branches in the area to see if they have more rolls. |

My own local BofA are anal orifices when it comes to their customers. Ask for new coins and you get looks of disdain from all of the employees, whether you're a customer or not.

Jerry STILL looking for Territorial Quarters ===== Somebody must have lit a fire under my local BofA branch. I never asked about new quarters, but I found they never bothered with president dollars at all. I was able to pick them up at a Wachovia branch across the street. Then a year ago BofA started offering the dollar rolls within days of release, while Wachovia appears to have given up on them. I figure that putting a roll of each president aside at face value is a painless way to save and may even yield a profit for my heirs after the Glen Beck issue completes the series. |

It's the personalities of the cashiers. At the local BoA branch where I occasionally pay my credit card bill in person, one cashier knows me by sight and knows that I'll ask her if she has any interesting items. She's quite friendly and accommodating about it, even though I don't have any accounts there except the credit card. She's grateful that I've taken rolls off her hands that she couldn't otherwise get rid of. The others there are perfunctory when I ask. Not disdainful, but it's clear they couldn't care less. I do have a relationship with a few tellers at my bank branch. That really paid off when they presented me with an envelope of 89 halves they had saved after getting them from a customer. It was an astonishing Comstock lode of silver, as I described in a 1/5/10 post. I don't get that kind of treatment everywhere but it's proof that "making nice" does work. - mazorj the Amiable "It's not what you know, it's who you know." |

I must agree. Around here, the national name banks (e.g., BofA and M&T) are "go-thru-the-motions" banks. No pleasantries for the most part. The local banks, though, are accomodating to the extent they can. I can still, occasionally, find Ike dollars (you listening Larry?) Using Territorial quarters as the example, the majors don't bother with them because it requires effort on their part. The locals took a severe beating with all of the shipping and handling charges with the SQs, so they decided it was a cost-saving measure not to bother with any more new stuff. That's why I can't find Territorial rolls, 2009 cent rolls, or National Park rolls. Prezibux, on the other hand, are all over. My own hometown bank still has rolls from Adams through Fillmore.

Jerry- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Territorial quarters were *NOT* distributed to each and every federal reserve branch and coin depot but the State Quarters were. (OK, the D.C. quarters were distributed, but they changed the policy right after...) To get Territorial Quarters, your region of the USA must actually run low on quarters and the fed in your region must order "new coin" to replenish the local supply. If they don't need to order, you will not get any. Dollar coins *ARE* automatically distributed to each and every fed district and coin depot. If the Territorial Quarters and the overdue "America the Beautiful" quarters don;t exist in your region of the USA, then your bank cannot order them. Your bank (ANY bank) can easily order dollar coins, just like ordering any other denomination of current US coin or currency. If they choose not to, they are being turds. http://www.frbservices.org/operation.../new_coin.html |
