Look how my Bank punished me!

Hi guys
If you know me, 99% of my Bank roll purchases have been from a bank that's not mine. Don't have an account with. Just attainable through my credit card with them. The Chase branches. They've been very profitable in my CRHUNTING. This morning, I decided to go back to my Bank, TCF. Well, I chose today to get 40 Quarter Rolls from them. When they came out with the rolls, I placed them in MY bank canvas bag. Just out of curiosity, I asked if they had any more canvas bags to giveaway? Well, look what they gave me! See how they punish me. Lol
Never ever seen and/or could of imagined.

This is so COOL!

This FIND equals 5 W's or 5 Silver Quarters.

That's a pretty neat pouch. Never seen one that locks.

Wow! I've seen one that color before.

Just remembered,
About 1 year ago.
Same bank location, different teller. Not as cool, but still a fine gesture from these guys!

I have a cloth bank bag from the Olympia State Bank, 195 Olympia Plaza, Chicago Heights, Illinois (at the corner of Joe Orr Road and Dixie Highway) that dates from about 1959. I suspect this isn't too far from where you live. The bank has changed ownership and names several times since then but I believe it is still a bank. Have you ever tried getting any coins from there? That used to be one of my top roll and bag sites in 1962-63 since my family had their bank account there. One of my best finds was a 1932-D quarter from one of the few quarter rolls I looked through back then. I usually stuck to cents and nickels.

Lol. That's funny you mentioned Chicago Heights? No, I don't live near the area, 35 Miles away, near Midway Airport, however, I do work in that vicinity! Chicago Heights. Ford Stamping Plant. The Olympia Plaza State Bank? Are you sure that's where you said it's at? I believe I seen a bank, in Chicago Heights, on the corner of Lincoln Highway (Rt. 30) and Western Ave.? Wow, a bank bag over 60 yrs. old. Very cool!

That's great.

My bank gave me a zipper one.

The locking ones are for businesses for their daily deposits, into the night drop, for example.

Great score.

Lincoln Highway and Western Ave. is southwest of the bank I mentioned by a few miles. In 1959 there was no branch banking in Illinois. Every bank location was independent. For large transactions they had arrangements with the very large banks, sometimes in other states. I believed they used to refer to them as correspondent banks.

That is awesome! The lock and key are very cool additions. Back in September my LCS gave me an old canvas bank bag for free, not sure how old it is but I believe it was used to hold silver dollars.
