I had the exact same thing happen last Thursday at a Chase branch. Came back at $1 more than expected. Even more unexpectedly, they had just had their machine serviced and cleaned and I was the first person to bring in coins since it was done, so there couldn't have been other coins stuck in the machine from a previous customer.

Iopened a Chase checking account(thanks to the fters) and told the "private banker" assigned to me that i would be bringing coins- -quaters? -no $s. Thats OK. I:" any limit?" Chase:" how many?" I: about 2500 each time. Chase "No problem" lets see what happens.

I did the same but at a different bank. Got the same welcome. Even from the branch mgr. But when the higher ups found out they stopped that right there.

My orders are shipping.

Placed a few orders before they pulled the 09 NA's and it looks like they're about to ship.

i guess them pulling the NA is a good thing for me...gotta kick the habit eventually right? and i didn't have to go cold turkey.
however old habits don't die hard.. can't wait till next year or whenever they release the '10 NA's

I've had a great run and kept one box of 500 coins to feed them into everyday spending. I've never had any pushback.

My guess is going to be in the 1.4-1.8m miles range
