A message to everybody who uses Citizens, particularly in MA:
I just got back form a Citizens Bank in the town next to mine, which does a lot of my half dollar ordering. I've been very good to them, never ordering more than $2000 in halves every three or four weeks. I tried placing another order today, but they refused, saying that bank policy (nationally) has changed and they cannot order large amounts of coin or cash for non-business customers. They say it is because they are charged "extra" for ordering half dollars and two dollar bills, and that it is not because of coin collectors ordering excessive amounts of coin, but is instead due to increased security measures which cap the amount of cash that can be at a branch. I DO NOT DUMP at Citizens, never have and never will, and the teller was nice and assured me that it was not because of me or any other collectors, just a corporate change. If you could check with your local Citizens and see if you can still order, that information would be of great help to me. Tomorrow, I'm attempting to place several BIG ten box orders at Citizens branches across the state, as a last hurrah for this dying hobby. Middlesex seldom orders for me, TD bank never does, no account at B of A and YUCK I hate that place, not many other big banks in my area and credit unions are not my thing.
Ben, what are your thoughts on this? You are close to me and probably pick up from the same banks. Have they stopped?
Anyone out of the state, is your Citizens still allowing orders?
