Fed ran out of halves?!

[bigtime400]

Well I knew this day would probably come... and here it is. My tried and true ordering bank said they would no longer be able to get halves for me. I have been getting them for 2 years about steady and it sounds like the fun is over. I asked the vault teller lady and she said that she wasn't sure why but all she knew was they said ordering halves was suspended indefinety because of lack of supply at the fed. So I just asked her to keep me informed. She said she would. I had kinda called her out asking her if it was because of them complaining about all the halves going through because I know there are alot of people that do half dollars but go though alot more then me. She seemed unaware of anything like that. Which she very well may be. Its probably the upper management if anything. Ohh well........ I liked that bank... but there are others.

A shortage at the Fed? That's okay, they'll just make more!!!!!

I think your bank is lying to you. There is no shortage.

Just find another bank to order for you and dump them at your current pick up, and than say I'm here to bail out the Fed. LOL.

So does anyone know of a good site to post bank reviews. I personally am getting sick of banks that lie without any repurcussions.

I am scheduled to pick up my weekly box tonight. I will see if they say anything.

Sounds fishy to me. No way could they be short of halves considering how many billions have been minted over just the past 50 years.

It's happened to me before,but not permanately, maybe once in a month or two, very rare....

They had my box Friday, and said nothing about the Fed running out.

My 4th skunk box in a row. This is getting old.

Same thing happened to me my friend, I went to the same bank but different branch and had absolutely no problem ordering the halves. Some banks just don't want to deal with us.

Could the reason be that, they are not coin shops, they are banks?

They may have ran out at their depository vault but the Feds did not run out. They will have to refill their depository from their main reserve. Or someone found out how much Brinks was charging them per box and decided not to order any more.

"Could the reason be that, they are not coin shops, they are banks?" Wow you are astoundingly observant AMC...Do you even coin roll hunt? My next question; are coins currency? Then if so don't banks supply that currency? They are banks not coin shops you are right but I am ordering CURRENCY and in my opinion they should supply the money which is coming from my account in any way I request...no questions asked.
