I turned in 2,200 zink cents today.

I asked if they had any half dollars, I was told they had about a thousand of them but the drawer was already cashed out for the day and they would not give them to me today. I can go back tomorrow and pick them up at 0900.

I then asked if they had any Ike dollars... they had no idea what I was talking about. I then said, "Eisenhower dollars"... still nothing. I finally made a circle with my fingers and said, "The big dollar coins"... Nothing. I said, can you order some for me... they said NO. lol. I then said, what about the Presidential or Sac dollars... They said they have a few... Looks like I will need another source for dollars as well. At least I will be good for a few weeks with the half dollars image

    Do any of you mark your rolls when you turn them in? I am thinking about putting a Z on them as I turn them in. When I roll my copper I put a C on them so I will not mistake them when I turn in the zink (Or my wife will not turn them in).

    It's pretty obvious over this way when you get a half roll that's been recycled. I give them out for the kids so I don't care, but you can tell when you're going to draw a goose egg.

    Sounds like someone's dump (1000 halves in a $500 box), but the rule is always buy them all. If you can get rid of them with no problem anyway, you're actually doing the bank you're taking them from a favor, and that could garner you future consideration from them with regard to coinage.

    I picked up $500 in halves this morning. Come to find out she had $990 in halves but I did not have the bank roll available to purchase the lot. While we were conducting business she told me that someone brings in about $500 per week... Obviously this is a dumping ground for a searcher and I will never find anything good here.

    These halves will serve their purpose in my 52 week challenge but I am going to have to locate another bank to search rolls.
