Sort of interesting article, it would be great to go through this amount of coin! Wow!  Interesting article. Thanks!  Quote:
Shouldn't we get a percentage of the money they make with lending "our money" out ? Are you trying to say that you do not get any interest on your savings account?  If so, then I think it is time to change banks! Quote:
My problem is that I belong to a credit union, which often does not have access to the newer dollar coin issues - they pretty much get the leftovers from the banking system. Same here. Several years back, I was dating a teller at a different bank. She set aside anything that came in for me to search and I was able to dump my coins back there because she kept them separated.

I want 19% interest on the money of mine that they loan out to other people !....how's that? You know, like a lot of Credit Card Bank "lenders" do !! I want to "lend" my money to my bank for a nice profit.......NOT the piddly little token interest they pay on the dollar now for the privledge of using my money for their business dealings....  |

I will agree that the differential between what people earn and what they charge is a little broad. My credit union keeps it a bit tighter! |

I'm tempted to print that article out for the tellers I buy boxes of pennies from! ;)
i wonder what her hourly wage would work out to if she sold the accumulated silvers for metal value.
Now, my tellers would laugh and tell me no way, but I suspect they'd be more accommodating if I had as much deposited at the bank as this woman and her husband do... If you've got enough net worth to set aside forty grand in cash to buy a truckload of half dollars, you've got some leverage.

I wonder what she plans to do with all the left over halves? I doubt any bank will take them back.

my teller would most likely grab a bag of halves and beat me over the head with it.

Or she could spend them. I would be tempted to spend them all in one place! I am sure Best Buy would take them, especially when I told them that "Circuit City had no problem with me using them to buy that TV last year, maybe I will just go back to them?" And you know Best Buy or any other large retail chain would have no problem getting their bank to take them in! "Really? Well, your competitor has been trying to get me to move our account. Maybe they will take them?" |

Once you find a "dump station" .......just treat it right. Do "gradual" dumps if you have a massive amount of it.....not all at once !.....(something about that sentence doesn't quite sound right!.. .. ) LoL Quote:
You want them to pay you more than they make from the people that borrow it? I think my "sarcasm" gets over-analyzed and taken way too seriously !..  Oh, and I'm very cynical too !~!...  Edited by eaglefoot

My problem is that I belong to a credit union, which often does not have access to the newer dollar coin issues - they pretty much get the leftovers from the banking system. So I don't often get more than the very common and current rolls of coins when I ask for them. Sounds to me like you need to take a some fiat over to a regular bank and start up an account. BOA was giving away $150 to new accounts not to long ago, but I am not sure what the stipulations are on that. |

I guess now is not a good time for me to start my collection of halves. Seeing shes got most of them.lol Ya when I go to the bank to get my $10-20 dollars in pennies. The teller asks me where the penny poker game is going to be.
