Starting to find 2009 Lincolns, in odd ways

In my spare time, while I'm watching a baseball game or something, I like to go through rolls of cents that I buy in boxes from my local bank. Over the past couple days, I've been finding about 2 2009 Lincolns per box, mixed in with all other dates. They appear uncirculated, but it surprises me that they aren't coming in solid rolls.
From what the bank tellers tell me, Wells Fargo in the Phoenix area has a "money vault" where they receive their boxes of coin (rather than from the local federal reserve).
Sound odd to anyone else that they're just thrown in with other circulated coins? Additionally, every bank I've called doesn't have any rolls of the new cents.

Might I suggest a copy of Looking Through Lincoln Cents as well as a good magnifying glass or stereo microscope, if you don't already have them.
I'm feeling quite special right now

Haha
I have yet to receive one in change. I actually tried to acquire a few hundred boxes of these by calling the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, as well as about 20 different Brinks coin vaults from Brooklyn to Orlando, and the most I found was 3 boxes in Atlanta, which would obviously not be worth my trip. Oh well...There goes that money-making scheme.

<< <i>I also found some 2009 Lincolns in an odd way recently ... earlier in the week I received two rolls from the US Mint. It was odd because I ordered them in February! >>
I think you meant to say March. Give the mint some credit

All I could remember is that line "ask and you shall receive".
It's quite surprising, actually. I think I'll quit posting.
