    Because they were not prepared for you. Perhaps you could have them order some and that way you wouldn't take all their "dime rolls" that they thought they might need for the day or week or whatever.

    National coin shortage (supposedly)?

    Is that news to you, or did you think it was over? :D

    Sorry for you. Many banks, along with many workers will provide. It's just finding those certain ones is the trick. Remember, You probably know this but you must be kind and polite when you ask. Some workers have a tendency to say "NO" just in spite. When the next customer comes in and asks the same worker, than they would comply. I have a couple of banks I have a good relationship with. They notice me as soon as I walk in. Keep on trying different banks. Good luck my friend. ;)

    I found that I need to give them at least one day notice.

    Buying 6 sealed boxes of quarters a week from three different banks (standing order). The fourth that I was buying 2 boxes a week from is temporarily closed due to an outbreak. :*

    Some banks are limited on their coin orders. It doesn't hurt to ask if they can order what you want. If so see if you can make it a standing weekly order if you need a box each week. Most tellers like coin collectors, they know collectors envy their job.

    You should walk in with a box of dimes and ask to swap them out and see if you get anywhere.

    I would have asked them rather than a bunch of strangers on the internet.

    I did ask why. They said there was still a shortage. I don't really buy that. That why I asked why.

    Next time try wearing a bandana for a mask and pass her a note.

  • CoinscratchCoinscratch Posts: 7,455 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Meanwhile at another bank, I was making all kind of small talk with the teller and she told me that a customer brought some coins in a while back. And her fellow worker noticed one of the pennies did not look right and he thought it might be worth some money so he called the customer who came back for it and allegedly ended up selling it for over 200,000.
    Interestingly, I asked if that particular teller still worked there, just to see if my pennies have already been searched. He does not so I’m wondering who really sold it for over 200,000.

    Might have gotten attention pre-March 2020.
    Now, we all look like that.

    Yes, good point.

    Try walking in WITHOUT a bandana or mask and pass her a note...

    Very unprofessional in my opinion for her to ask what the money was for.

    I work in banking. We do not order directly from the mint and take in rolls from our member base when they are deposited. Contrary to the buzz about shortages, we have not seen any difference this year. When we have an over-abundance, we send bags to the FRB in Atlanta(and have sent a bunch as we usually do!) We have had plenty of the 4 major circulating denominations. To be fair though, we rarely have people ask us for large numbers of rolls. Most of the time it's a few rolls of quarters here and there....I'm guessing for laundry machines?

    Often they are trying to help to understand if you are about to become a victim of fraud. For example, are you paying ransomware, are you being threatened... They can help in these situations.

    Sometimes, while I'm shopping with my wife at Walmart, if I want to go home and wet my appetite for an hour or so. I'll ask the front desk for a couple of rolls of pennies. Guess what, 9 out 10 times, they'll give it to me. Lol. ;)

    There are several banks in my area asking its customers what the money is for, even for withdrawals of $2K. I refuse to use those banks.

    To go against the flow.
    Why don't you roll searchers take a couple of month break during the "supposed" coin shortage?
    You are not helping the situation and it is tough enough for many businesses to operate without having to worry about "CHANGE".

    Running a business this year is all about "Change". I spend the first few hours Sat/Sun hitting the local stores searching for cleaning products. 150+ "family" members to take care of.

    I have a small stash...
