Overpriced, but try the mint

You can also ask your bank to order them, but they might require a huge sum to be ordered...

The mint no longer uses bags for regular circulation coinage. All coins now go into
jumbo bags which are equivalent to the old pallet.

They do sell some quarters, halfs, dollars, and nickels in smaller bags and it may be
possible to get bags from the counting houses. More typically there will be boxes of
rolls available.

Thanks cladking. Are these rolled at the mint or somewhere else down the line?

You sometimes can find older bags at coin shows. At my local coin show, there is a guy who usually brings a still sealed US mint cent bag or two. And sometimes you find those state quarter bags being recycled at shows.

Thanks I had'nt thought of looking for them at a show. Now if there was only a coin show in this town. Hard to belive that in a city the size of Phoenix AZ that there is not a single coin show.

There's a 1973-S Lincoln bag -- $50 that's for sale at a local shop, but I rarely ever see mint bags for sale.

As for Phoenix shows, there's one in Scottsdale, I think on a monthly basis. There's also a rather large one in Tempe, but I'm not sure when.

There used to be a large one at the Phoenix Civic Center once a year but the interest died and it stopped a few years ago i think
