Searched (5) boxes of pennies 12,500, just before the new year.I'm just getting around to posting.Total of 138 wheat pennies,lots of copper,all boxes were stamped Dec 16th.So I'm guessing I got alot of pennies that people rolled and cashed in for Christmas.

WOW That's a lot of pennies!!!

That's about double the wheat count I have been getting. The new Ace does make it nice though...

good job

Nice!! Just wondering, do you re-roll your pennies you don't want? There are no banks around here that accept loose change

RIdetector · Jan 4, 2010

I reroll alot,I use a coin counter drop the coins in the hopper and fill the rolls.And Coinstar some and use extra coins from MD to make up for the fee.

And my credit union bank last year made me undo all the rolls I did because they wanted them loose! :dash2:

Happened to me too! I never roll anymore. Wells Fargo has a free counter in the lobby, so I got a "Dump Account" there.

do you just go to the bank and say you want to buy a brick of pennies? would charter 1 do it?

When I was down in Portland, OR this past break I found a Wells Fargo that only accepted loose change. I spent 1 1/2 hours rerolling the pennies and all the teller did was go to the machine and open them all. The worst part is that we don't have any of those here in SJ!! I am sooo angry. The teller even told me she would look out for silver/old/distinct coinage if I was going to stay longer. I wish I could've stayed longer :cuss:

Just ask if they carry the $25 boxes of pennies. Some banks don't have them.

All the banks here take rolled change.I can't find a bank in RI that has a free counter it would save me alot of time just to dump loose coins.
