Took the kids out Sat. morning. Hit a few local small town banks I hadn't been to before. Only one had any halves. Teller brings out $280 in hand rolled and is ready to hand them over when I get the "do you have an account here?" At this point I have to lie, since the coins are starring at me. She trys to find "my" account, then I tell her I just opened it the other day and she says oh its probably not in the system yet and hands over the loot. I'm sure my face was red as a beet! Probably won't try that again. Did pull 11 40% 2 90% and a '62 Franklin. I guess I should just open an account since they have 7 or 8 branches scattered around the county in small towns. I should've known better since a branch a mile from my house won't give up the halves they have without an account. They told me the have several hundred $$. Today went thru 2 boxes and netted 7 40% and 4 90%. Also tried a dime box today and was skunked.

This is the first time someone actually looked. They usually just say ok and don't check.

Since most banks let you open a savings account for under 100 bucks, you're crazy for not doing it if these banks have good amounts of halves on a regular basis.

Not that it would ever come to this, but it could be said that acquiring goods or services thru deception equals fraud. Why take such risks?

I have already opened 4 new accounts since starting this hobby. Not all banks have no fee accounts. I'm still shopping around for a few more banks and will most likely open an account at that particular bank.

I hate to lie. Just don't like to. But in the banks I've told some whoppers,with a straight face.

Well not exactly but, they are giving away $75 to open a new checken acct. all you have to do is make 2 debit card purchases within 1st 30 days and have an opening deposit of $250.00.
Gee I think most of us can handle that."

I had a savings at BofA, but no checking account. This qualified me for the $75. The bank will throw in another $25 if you make two online payments from the new account. That is $100 in FREE MONEY!! We CRH'ers can recognize the benefits of that, especially when we can use the new account(s) to buy or dump coin.

This is highly recommended!! I think the program will go until the end of July.

Is this nation wide @ B of A, and what is the minimum balance on account?

Obediah;
Opening balance of $250 minimum. To qualify for the $75, you have to make one (at least in my case) debit card purchase within 30 days of opening the account. Easy enough.
To qualify for the $25 additional bonus, you make two online bill payments within 30 days of opening the account.
With so many branches across the country, BofA makes a great resouce.
