I made my first CRH road trip. I stopped at my buying bank to get cash to take and they had a box waiting for me so I started the trip with $1,000 in cash. I went to 7 Banks/Credit Unions in one town. First was a small branch in a Wal-Mart, $3.50 with no keepers. Next Bank $3.00 with no keepers. Now I started hearing some bad news with the 3rd bank. The teller said they had about $600 in halves and I told her I'd take them all. She checked the machine and there were only $161.50 and told me the lady that comes in a buys all their halves must have been in yesterday 
, not what I wanted to hear. I saw 1 silver as she recounted the halves. Next 3 stops were 1 bank and 2 credit unions that had no halves. The next bank had a $500 bag they could sell me 
. I asked if they had many people ask for halves or drop-off a lot of halves. She said normally not but just yesterday 2 guys came in and bought halves, more bad news. She was nice enough to let me know they could order halves for me even if I didn't have an account as long as I paid for them in cash. The last bank the teller said she had only 2 halves, I saw one silver when she picked them up. She looked at them and said one of them was from her birth year and she would have bought it if she had seen it sooner, lucky for me she was born in 1964. I asked if they had any stashed in the back and another teller grabbed a bag and asked how many I was looking for. I told here I'd take as many as she had but she said I could only have $50 without having an account there. The bag definitely had a bunch more rolls in it. So I took the $50 and info on opening an account. I found a 67 and a 68-D in the 5 rolls. Is it worth opening an account to get the rest?
I'll post the results of the rest when I get through them. I really didn't want to hear about other people buying halves, but that s the way it goes.

and might return the goodies by accident ( have found a local guy here that has turned in 3 rolls of silvers, all for me 
. There are 3 major banks in this area so I may open a basic savings at each and that way I should have a bank I can go to if I need to get more money on a trip.
