Banks suck!

Another bank this morning told me they will not order half dollars. I'm just about ready to give up on them and resign myself to dimes and pennies exclusively. How do you guys manage to acquire so many boxes in a week? I still haven't been able to find a second box, let alone multiple at a time.

I think it depends on your location. I have several banks that keep about five boxes on hand for me. They alo let me buy and search out of the machine.

I dont no how much you keep in your account, but if you had 15 or twenty grand in there ,i bet they would sing a differant tune. good luck and happy hunting.

not neccesarily , my main bank that i had kept 20 grand in for 10 years charges me while other banks dont even ask if i have an account order for free go figure

I had two accounts with one bank. Over 20k in total. They wouldn't budge even though I threatened to close the accounts. Wouldn't even give me halves for a fee!

Totally depends on bank. My main account has over 15K in it and they charge me if I want to order boxes. I have 6 other banks that I have opened kids accounts at and they have less than $50. All these banks gladly order me boxes for free--go figure.

They let you open kids' accounts? Don't you have to be a kid?

You just have to have kids!

I just had to open a free checking account and the banks will order me halfs for free. They willlet me order as many as I want just as long I getg them all within the week. So I order like 8 boxes and do 2 a night.......Matt

Only bank that gives me a problem ordering is Chase, and that's only repetitive orders. I can usually get Chase to order for me 1-2 times but then they don't want to see me again. Other banks, if one branch says no I just call another one.

after joining about 20 banks and regularly going to a large number of them - asking to order 1-2 boxes and any of them on occasion hasnt been a problem. In fact the only banks to say no to me are the TDs [i only asked those without penny] and my local wells which says they cant even tho the one in a town over will.
