Rich - thanks for the posts about GPS CRH - it's opened a whole new aspect to this addiction.
I was on the way to see a customer in BFE, so I figured I'd bring the GPS and give it a shot.
I found most banks were open 10-1 on SAT, but some were 10-5!
My GPS hunt netted $500+ in halves to search from over 10 banks, only one 40%, but some great leads.
I also learned a lot about different bank policies/practices.
Like a certain major bank that orders halves regularly and hands out searched Fed rolls that are folded over on one end...
How a certain local bank has a "no money exchange for non-members" policy...
That a kiosk bank in a grocery store can sometimes have what you want - and are anxious to get rid of it because space is at a premium...
and finally, that some tellers will go out of their way to get rid of every last half in the building because they have been sitting on them for months.
I did find one "dump bank" (10 rolls of 71, 76 and other ick), but they haven't seen any other large coin deposits since.
I found that there are 3 banks near my regular dump banks that all have rolls of customer supplied halves and they are eager to sell. I just have to call them on Friday and they will "sell" the rolls to a Saturday teller so I can get them outside of the normal vault hours (one hour after opening to one hour before closing M-F).

GPS is the way to go on road trips. I found a bank hidden in a strip mall that I pass by once a week. Never knew the bank was there.
