<prompt> Human: Were traveling and my son lost a tooth. Now my familys tooth fairy has this wonderful tradition of dollar coins. Theyre something my kids never see in normal life plus we can insert little bits of history trivia. However, where can our tooth fairy get them on the road? This started out a bit silly but its a significant general question: PF consistently recommend financial institutions without branches; what can you do when you need one?- we belong to a credit union and USAA which are fantastic, but there were no branches- I went to a local credit union and got great customer service, then they insisted on an account number and handed my money back. They didnt care about any CU network- I went to a big bank and they wouldnt even get beyond the rude greeting: account number?Firstly, I didnt realize banks could or would essentially refuse to make change. WTF? What if this was something important where I needed financial services not available online? What other options are there? Do I really need an account at a big bank, too?  <response>: Post office. The stamp machines dispense dollar coins among change if you buy some stamps and insert a bill.
