I think we should get ready for this ahead of time. All anyone has been doing so far is speculating, and while that's cool, we should also see what we can arrange now.
For instance, I live an hour from San Francisco. I can be in San Francisco by 8PM PST, which may not be fast enough. I will be monitoring net traffic until 6PM PST (when I get off work) to see what is happening.
If things start happening BEFORE I get off work I can help remotely by coordinating with people on the ground. I have three computers and two cell phones at my disposal.
If things don't start before I leave work I will be making a bee-line for the city. I have a group of contacts in the city that will be manning phones and computers to help guide everyone.
If anyone else is in the Bay Area and wants to join up on this and try to work as a team let me know. I figure it's better than everyone trying to slit each other's throats trying to get free swag.

I would advise looking at things besides banks. I doubt this is going to happen at a bank or credit union as they are not known for their senses of humor. Rather, they are known for tight security and guns.
If the event DOES go down at a bank then you have my apology for doubting, but in all honesty I find the idea ridiculous.

It might happen near or around the Bank. Especially if its a dead drop or something. But yea...so is this happening on sunday or monday? If monday, that would be awesome, because I am off work and I live 20 min north of Dallas.

Judging by the time it came up it's Monday. Now, most events have been happening around 6PM EST from what I've seen, but the new site went live much later than that. I don't think I saw it until well after 7PM PST (10PM EST). SO maybe Monday's event won't be until later on in the evening.

well looking at the currency values, it seems they're each unique. So listing them in order of currency (including coinage)
(adjusting to order by bills primarily, then coins; some aren't on the gallery but shown here for completion's sake)
Code:
Toronto - John F Kennedy $0.50 half-dollar
Kansas City - George Washington $1 bill $0.25 quarter
Philadelphia - Thomas Jefferson $2 bill $0.05 nickel
New York - Abraham Lincoln $5 bill $0.01 penny
Sao Paulo - Alexander Hamilton $10 bill
Chicago - Andrew Jackson $20 bill
San Francisco - Ulysses Grant $50 bill
Boston - Benjamin Franklin $100 bill
(n/a) - William Mckinley $500 bill
Dallas - Grover Cleveland $1000 bill
BD-osto/erli-n - James Madison $5000 bill
Los Angeles - Dwight D Eisenhower $10,000 note $1.00 silver coin
London - Woodrow Wilson $100,000 bill
Also, not listed above:
(n/a) - Salmon Chase $10,000 bill
(n/a) - F.D. Roosevelt $0.10 dime
I can't find any instance of Kennedy appearing on a US note.
