horgad is right about them having to make sure to have enough to satisfy their merchant customer's needs. I ordered 24 boxes earlier this week from one of my banks for pickup today. They told me they had plenty of pennies on hand and that wouldn't be a problem. Today I remembered them saying that so I asked for 28 boxes.. they went in the back, loaded up the cart and came out, telling me they only had 20 boxes for me today. I told them that was no problem, I am flexible, said thank you and put in my order for 24 more boxes for next Friday. I don't want to cause them any shortages. One suggestion that c140cessna made on another thread that has worked for me lately is to keep a few boxes of 2007 pennies in the trunk of the car to trade. This way the bank still has the same amount of pennies on hand for their merchants. The merchants often prefer those shiny new clean pennies anyway, rather than those grubby dirty old pennies that we all covet. The bankers are more apt to give up a few boxes to you if they know it won't cause them to be short for their merchant customers.
If your percentages are low.. just sort more.

Where do you obtain your pennies or nickels?

That way I don't appear crazy.
