The offer of investing in their christmas party was a bit of a joke. Bribery at a bank is not a good thing! One time a S&L VP called. A teller took in some premium notes and put them in the vault. Another teller wanted to buy them for resale, but then the first wanted them. Others got in the discussion. The solution was a check to the bank for face, and one to the kaughy fund.

I wouldn't tell them what you are doing. They won't care one way or the other and in disclosing it you just may be putting yourself at risk. On the other hand though if they get to know you at the bank they may well like to offload some "cash in's" to you for face so they don't have to do the paperwork.
On the funny side I was waiting at the bank yesterday and noticed a sign on an office door that "Mr XXX Halfpenny" was there for financial advice.

I call it Madness. I went through 800 coins yesterday to help out with a coin survey, Never again. I'll just stick to looking through my change from now on |

Maybe I'm a "glass half empty" sort of person but my great fear is that if I tell the Bank that I am only going to look through the coins and then give them back for them to re count they might refuse to give me any or dream up some "coin noodling fee"  |

I wouldnt ever take them back where you get them or else you may end up doing some you have already noodled before.

At my normal bank they know I collect them, in fact last time I was there and cashed them in they asked if I wanted any more 50c coins, I said no I think I've found everything I'm looking for to which the teller replied 'so does that mean you want some 20's now'. If it's a branch I don't normally go to then I just say the coins are for a poker game.
My question is what should I have done in this situation. I put my coins into the coin counting machine and the machine got full so the teller came out and changed the change bag in the machine, inside the coin counting part of the machine I saw a bunch of UNC (full red) 1c and 2c coins sitting there (which the machine obviously couldn't sort). I was half tempted to ask if I could take them off the banks hand for their face value but wasn't sure if that would be against their policy.

No harm in asking. I think I am going to just tell the bank teller I collect coins do they have any old stuff. ...still thinking about the metal detector option also :-)

I am going to get a UV marker and start marking my coins. I am getting really concerned that I am in a closed market here. (Have just been pricing metal detectors!)
Wonder what the maths would be :
Number of people : 500,000 (in a large area)
Average amount of cash transactions both in and out of banks / businesses...
Average turnaround of a coin
Average distance covered.
Me thinx me thinx too much. Going for a beer...

All 4 big banks in my town know I am a collector. They also know that I share my larger finds with other collectors ( cant afford to keep them all myself). For this they call me if something good comes in.
