Finally made it to the bank before it closed and...

the teller said they do not get boxes of the new 2017 coins!! Is that true or is it just this new bank I am dealing with since I moved to Cullman?

Last year I got several boxes of brand new 2016's, no problem. Ugggghhhh... I wanna move again, just not sure where to LOL
I'm thinking maybe Illinois where Larry J is

anyway, I got 2 bricks to search. Wally works in a pinch but I can't always go at midnight LOL

Your bank will get boxes of the 2017 when the right time comes. They are not all released to banks, but rather the federal reserve or places like Brinks and Loomis and then on out from there once there is a need for them. I had 2016 in this part of Florida by Jan 13th last year while other places never saw them until May or June. Be patient. You have just as good a chance of getting some at Wally Works as you say, as you do from the bank.

Thank you very much Bob! Now... can you help me learn "patience"??

I received three of the 2017P cents in change at my cu today. Definitely wasn't expecting it. Alas, no doubled dies. It does look weird with that mint mark though!

Can we see?

Yes please. We can't even say "we'll show you ours"!

[enamel7]

I'll get to work on it!

[VAB2013]

Thank you!! Will you start it on a new thread so folks who don't read this can see also!!

[enamel7]

Yes I will.

Maybe it's their policy to not promise stuff by dates, I could imagine a bank manager telling them not to waste time giving out state quarters by designs or anything based on dates because "we're a bank not a coin shop". In the end you'll get whatever they get.

Awesome!! I think you have the right idea!! Yesterday I just got 2 bricks because it was all I could carry in one trip. I need to get at least 4 next time, then they will know I am serious and they can either like it.... or not LOL

Be careful, there are plenty of stories of folks getting cut-off from banks. They don't like handing out boxes of pennies because they lose money on them. And definitely DO NOT use the same bank to return the searched junk, they seem to hate that as well.

I've found the best way to get cents is to find a bank with the free counters available to customers. The one I've been going to loves to unload their bags of pennies to me so they don't have to deal with them. I always come out ahead too because their counter throws at least 5-6 dimes into every bag. LOL I also like the bags better because I don't have to crack rolls - it gets old - and some customers dump old, nice, red BU coins into it from their old stashes.

Thank you very much for this information! I thought the banks probably did loose money on dishing out boxes of coins and I use coinstar so I don't end up getting some of the same coins over again. I was told by my home branch that usually only commercial customers get boxes, but they were still nice to give me a box when I asked for it. I will find out about bags... wish me luck... they didn't understand Lincoln cents!
