The answers keep coming back pretty much like Brian just said about the small town banks. Banks in populated areas seem to be the ones who say they cannot order them.

However, it is interesting that the people getting these do every once in awhile find Morgans, Peace dollars, and ASEs...just not often. I cannot imagine someone turning in any of the three to a bank...and at least the tellers not grabbing them b/c they look so different!

That is what I have heard as well, but I am unable to confirm this, as I have not been able to find a bank that can order these bags of Ike dollars

You can not order Ike Dollars. My bank just happens to call me when some one turns them in. They are no longer made by the and thus the Federal Reserve Band and its Branches do not order them (they can't). You have to remember that the mint fills the orders of the Federal Reserve Banks and its branches for the coins it wants. The banks and credit unions in return order their money from the Federal Reserve Banks. In a nut shell if the Mint doesn't mint a coin no longer in production or minted for Numismatic purposes only. Proof set, Uncirculated Coin Sets, Up until just recently Kennedy Halves (reports of all new Kennedy Halves ( I.E. 2020 and 2021) found in 500 and 1000 dollar boxes) nor the American Innovation Dollars can be ordered.

That makes some sense. However, regardless of that fact, it seems like some banks, as shown by the ebay listing I linked, can and do order them from some place, although I know not where
