Question on SBA Dollars

[aristobolus]

I saw in a post from last year that Susan B Anthony dollars are still available at banks. What would they be available in? Boxes? Bags? What amounts? $1000.00? $100.00?

My experience is that some banks have these in their vault, or more likely Sacagaweas. Based on their behavior and reading between the lines, it seems like its cost prohibitive to them to send them back to the Fed. For example, I was coin roll hunting and asked for half dollars from a bank, and the head cashier was thrilled to get them out of the vault for me.

Banks do have the technical ability to order coins, and some will do this for you if you have a good relationship with them. (Not sure about the coin shortage.) But probably they can just order dollar coins, and you will get Sacagaweas, if that matters to you. Technically you could get Ikes or Peace or Morgans too.

I have found some good things going for halves. At least once a year I will get some Ike’s or a couple rolls of dollar coins. Out of which there will be a few SBA Do it as coin roll hunting. Lol

Which reminded me that 10 years ago I had a NEED for a1981 for a special person. Lol I ended up getting a slabbed one at LCS

Ask the local bank. Officially they are still in circulation. Most of the time they are mixed with the little copper dollars.

your milage will vary widely from branch to branch. Go to lots of 'em.

When I worked at a casino I was able to nab a few hundred that someone cashed in. Only one 1981 in the whole batch.

Prob boxes. They come in rolls of $25.

Dollar comes in rolls of $25, boxes of $1000, or bags of $2,000. The SBA's are not separated from the rest of the dollars so there will be sacagawea as well as presidential dollars.

If you want SBAs, you will have to sort them from the other small dollars. Neither the banks, cash management companies such as Loomis and GARDA, nor the Federal Reserve will do it for you. Have fun.

Time for more coffee.

If you get a box you might as well look for proof and other good finds check out this thread viewtopic.php?f=15&t=39045&hilit=Cheerio+dollar

I've looked for halves a lot over the years and do remember once that I got a bunch of rolls ($10 face each). Included with the bunch was a $25 face roll of non-Ike dollars. I went back to the teller when I discovered the error and she told me not to worry about it.

The newer coins from the mint are being sold in $25 roll. $100 bag and $250 box.
