newbie's first week searching for halves
Hi all,
I just started hunting halves last week after reading a link from another forum to here. Hit all my local banks within walking distance, then started dropping onto any I passed in my daily travels. Several places thanked me profusely for taking them!
Three banks today told me they didn't exchance currency for non-account holders.
I've gone through $917.50 and found 5 40%. Oddly enough, they were all in loose change from tellers, none from a roll. .
I also bought 2 40% at an antique store for $1.10/each.
I'm waiting for my first $500 box to come in. I ordered it last week so I'm thinking tomorrow it will show. The bank lady had never ordered any boxes before and said she had to find out how and would call me as soon as it comes in.
I also got 35 Ikes here and there. One teller was saving them for a customer that had apparently closed his account. She gave me 19 and was happy to be rid of them. No keepers among them, so last Friday night I used them as tips at a local downtown evening event.
