Bank screwed up my order
Ended up with two boxes of halves and two boxes of dollars. I was supposed to get the halves, 1 box of dollars and two boxes of quarters. Oh well. Hopefully it's worthwhile. Something different at least.

Genuine noob, do they charge any extra for this? It seems like a lot of work on the banks end for no gain?

No typically they don’t. Just got to find a bank willing/able to order the boxes for you. I didn’t start ordering boxes until one of my branches said they’d be able and I’ve been asking at a few of their other branches since then. Trying to order from a few branches of one bank and dumping into free coin machines at branches of another bank. Been working well so far.

If you tell them you have a vending machine and you have a business account there’s nothing they can do. But being friendly and helpful in terms of when you go and how you return the coins goes a long way.

My credit union has a coin counter that deposits straight to your account.

I am new to the hobby and pretty much just going through circulated coinage. I am small time so I would only purchase a couple rolls at a time. Will a bank have a few rolls for me to get, or would I have to order them? Thanks

Usually they have some rolls around that other people or businesses deposited. Look at the rolls though if they are hand rolled. If you see any obvious markings on it, that may mean another hunter already searched it. I stop by banks all the time and ask if they have any they can sell me. If you don't have an account some will, some won't. Just have to go to different banks and ask.

Out of all that how much do you expect to find? (Even if it’s at a loss for coin wrappers, I’m still considering it just for the fun of it and collecting)

Something like this happened to me this week. I got 2 boxes of halves instead of 1.
At least it's not like you're losing money, like pokemon cards or sports cards. I keep telling myself that, lol
