Genuinely surprised - Found a Chase bank near me that can order boxes of pennies

What a pleasant surprise.
Pretty much all of my banks and branches simply cannot even order pennies any more.
Was out running errands and stopped in at a tiny Chase branch I haven't been to in some time.
Teller ordered a couple boxes of pennies for me a few days ago that I just went and picked up.
None of my other Chase branches can order them any longer.

Haven't opened them yet...I will after work...

Coins are Neato!

    Are they mixed date circulated?

    I ask because I see 2025 rolls selling for $10/ and think sellers must be happy.

    At $10 a roll I'd sell mine at that rate 🤪

    I had a few dozen rolls of 2025-D that went for $10 a roll plus shipping on EBay and sold out in a day. I also had 5 boxes of 2023-D that went for $115 a box plus shipping, although I have no clue why anyone would want those boxes as there are no varieties for that year. And I sold a couple of my 2025 mint sets that paid for my other 2025 mint and proof sets. People are just not thinking logically about 2025 cents it seems.

    The worsening U.S. penny shortage has prompted the Federal Reserve to resume accepting penny deposits on Jan. 14 at more coin distribution locations.

    Get them while you can. RGDS!

    I got $200 a couple weeks ago from a bank that told me that they would order them, but didn't expect to get them.
    They did get them, but they are all mixed, no 2025 rolls.

    Yup, mixed.
