A bank would be far more willing to inconvenience one of their employees to keep a customer happy than a hosting provider screwing up their internal topology - it's a hell of a lot easier to rewrap pennies.

In this case, as I stated, it's like asking for a penny from every till, or every roll. Unless this customer will offset the cost of their request, there's absolutely no point for the provider to even entertain the offer.
In this particular case, we're talking about a "bank" whose entire niche is giving people a penny from each roll. They advertise that they give away pennies from each roll, and in fact the only reason to choose this bank over any other bank is the fact that you need pennies from different rolls.

So all I'm asking is why can I have a penny from each roll if I share a safety deposit box with 10 other people, but I can't have a penny from each roll if I want my own safety deposit box?
