How to get rolls of new releases from Fed vs Mint?

In regard to this from the Mint:
"The Mint joined George Washington’s Mount Vernon to celebrate the release of the Revolutionary War Quarter. The quarter was just released to Federal Reserve Banks and their designated coin terminals for distribution to financial institutions."
The Mint release isn't until this Thursday (at a premium of course). I don't live anywhere near a Fed Bank or a "terminal". Am I out of luck or is there a way to acquire these?
Many happy BST transactions

Most banks don’t want to be bothered but plenty of rip offs on EBay
You couldn't get them from a Fed Bank or a terminal. Your LOCAL BANK gets them from there, either directly or indirectly.

Good luck trying to find them at the banks. Some guys have much better connections and seem to score new coins. I have a family member that used to work at the banks and still has connections. She said they used to be able to order the new coins for their collectors. After she reached out to her friends, she was informed that after COVID, they can no longer order the new coins specifically. So it just becomes luck of the draw whether you buy boxes of older coins or get new coins.
Takes extra work, handling and effort so most banks will not bother with it. may also be that they are charged fees by their distributors. Small customer friendly would be your best chance. Good luck in your search.
Don't pass any bank as you're driving. Account or no account, hit every bank! You need cash in your pocket.
Just stop and ask. You have nothing to lose. Some may say you need an account, others you may not. Just ask them if they have any new quarter rolls they want to get rid of. You might surprise yourself and get lucky.
