exchanging the US quarters for Green Back paper.

Any bank I approached, refused to accept the large numbers of coins as
I wasn't/we weren't a customer.

15 years ago I was given $100 bills by a clueless Bureau de Change,
and I couldn't find a bank in a large US city that would change
them, even when I enlisted the support of one of their customers!
As a result I now never accept notes larger than $20.

Try the same trick with £50 notes here these days!
