Last week I went to the bank that I've had an account with for 25+ years, and told them I wanted to get some currency in certain denominations, to include a certain amount of dollar and half-dollar coins. I know most of the ladies well enough for "small talk", but not really well. They told me that they could order the dollar coins, but not the halves. When I asked why, pretty much all they said was that there wasn't that option on the order form. So I said to go ahead and order the dollars, and I'd pick them up later.
Well they called me and said that they would indeed be able to get the half-dollars, but that now they couldn't get me the dollar coins. Although, they proceeded to inform me that they had a bag of "loose" dollars in the safe, and that I could have those.
So today I went to the bank and picked up $1000 in loose dollars and brought them home. I was disappointed to find that I had approximately $50 in Susans, $300 in Sacs, and the rest were the new presidential coins. Not a single Eisenhower at all? Are any of these coins worth more than face value?
Also, does anyone know if there is any certain reason that the bank couldn't order the dollar coins, or do I need to find another bank? I've never coin roll hunted before, and actually I just wanted to have some coins at home, but these Sacs and new Presidential coins don't seem to have the appeal of the older ones...I wouldn't be suprised if people wouldn't accept them, they just look cheap.
I'm crossing my fingers on the halves I'm supposed to pick up Thursday!
