NON-BANK sources of coinage. Liquor stores, smoke shops, party stores, etc.

Around here a "party store" is just another name for a liquor store.

I have NEVER heard a convenience store called a "party store". I was totally picturing going into my local Party City or something of that sort that literally specializes in party decorations, ect, & asking for coins.

It's regional. None exist here in MN (I am assuming due to law), but in MI, a party store was like a convenience store with a better supply of alcohol. Lottery, basic groceries, snacks, booze, etc.

I guess it depends on the party...

How?

If I find a liquor store that has hundreds of dollars of change to sell, how would we handle the counting without being there an hour? ig.

With the liquor stores it is more about quality than quantity.

Huh?

Huh?

Quality, as in getting older coins like silver dimes, quarters, halves, dollars, or old dollar bills. In other stores, you may be able to pickup many rolls, but harder to get the good stuff directly.

I went to a movie theather and when I was paying I noticed half dollars in the tray turned out to be 5 40%

How to count them out in a reasonable amount of time?

That's my real question. ig.

 

[MIhunter]

The key to CRHing is volume and it is very hard to get much volume from a non-bank

In my area bank branches in supermarkets trend to be open later (7-8pm) and some smaller banks try to distingish themselves by being open later (as late as 8 pm) or being open 7 days a week.

All of the party stores/liqour stores I have been to usually have less than $10 in halves so it is not generally an issue. When they do have more they spill them out on the counter and I take what I want. It is what you make of it.
