So I stopped at a bank after dumping- it's one I haven't stopped at before- asked for any halves loose of rolled- teller said they had a box that someone ordered- she asked how much I wanted and I said I didn't want to take if if someone ordered it, but she said it had been a couple days since it came in so she went to ask the manager and they tried to call the person who ordered, after a couple min they came and said I could have it-
Glad because it was my best halves box to date-

Russell: Great BOX. That happened to me last week, I stopped at a new bank and asked for halves. The teller said they had $390 in the vault. Someone ordered the box and only picked up $100, and never came back. So I grabbed the rest. And got 1-69, 2-68, and 2-67's, and 03d, 05 p&d. I also opened an account, now I have two boxes coming every Friday. You never know... HH Jack

Wow I would be SO pissed if a bank gave my ordered box away. Sniping other hunters, thats low in my book.

Unless of course the person said they didnt want it - who knows what was said in that conversation.

There are many people that don't want to order a full box. Many people put them in Easter eggs or give them out for particular holidays. I know it's a shock to people but people actually use them for other purposes other than CRH.

It just benefits us when we find them.

Happy huntjng and many good left over finds to you all

You're Utah right? I'm pretty certain I've picked up everywhere I ordered, glad to hear of your find!

Teller said it had been there a couple days- if I know I can't pick it up same day ill ask if I can pick it the next day but after that I don't expect them to hold it any longer for me

I order cents every week, $50 from 4 different banks a week. I tell them I'll be in some time during the weekend within a fees days, but I let them know that if someone else comes in and wants some give them away. I always pick them up within 3 or 4 days though.
