Guys, don't go down the rolls and bags road here on the main coin forum....jbuck just gave a warning yesterday that he didn't want to see it on this category I really do not want to see it in any category.  It is okay to discuss roll hunting, but I (and many others) did not like seeing the one-sided bashing of banks for doing what is their right as a business. It should go without saying that if you do not like the way they do things you can go somewhere else. Again, banks are there to make money, no to serve collectors. |

Of course banks make most of their $$$ by borrowing it from the government at 0.25% and loaning it out to people at 5%+, so their coin counting fees aren't their main revenue stream...

Exactly. Best case they break even with the fees, but most lose money on them (maintenance, the original subject of this thread, is not cheap) and it takes away from their profit. They offer it as a perk, but when the perk is abused, it goes away.

Ah, I think I am starting to understand what you mean. I was confused by why the roll/bag thing would be an issue on this forum. The confusion on my part comes from seeing the issue through different eyes. See when I deposit bulk coin it has nothing to do with collecting, it all is a by-product of the business I work for. There is no humanly way possible I could ever sort through it all. Best I can do is just pick out the coins I see along the way. So my comments are from that side of the discussion. I have to go to a bank and explain to them that I have special needs as a customer and if they agree to support me I open an account. I've been doing this for many years and always try to keep on very good terms with them even though I can see the tellers exhale deeply when I come through the door with my cart.  But the bottom line is we put a lot of money in their bank so I feel it is a good relationship for us both. Hope that helps clear things up about what I said. |

Hope that helps clear things up about what I said. Yes it does and I appreciate your effort. Actually, a large majority of the posts were okay. The cause for complaint came when the posts went from legitimate concerns to people whining about no longer getting a free ride. It is okay to ask questions, like... Which banks still have (free) coin counters? How do you order your boxes? How should I reward good tellers for helping me out? It is not okay to continually whine about banks that have no (free) coin counters, no longer order boxes, or have tellers that simply tell you they cannot do something anymore. We get it, you are upset because your free ride has ended. Get over it. Sorry, I did not meant to rant again!  |

A friend's bank used to gripe because he'd bring $1000 in shotgun wrapped quarters from his vending company every day or so. They had to pay armored carriers to take them back to the fed.
I've got a 37¢ hand crank counter. I was going to the bank, and there was a trailer with stuff from the bank. I asked the driver, who was taking it to the dump. I told him I'd dump it. The 37¢ was the cost of a pin to act as a hinge for the feed tray. It counts cents to halves flawlessly, I even modified it to count brass bucks.

I used coin counters for a while but they too slow. I use a coin scale now, very fast and very accurate.

Erm...I'm sorry that this topic has kind of turned in to one of those arguments. If you could lock this jbuck, that would be fine.  |

No problem. I think it has run its course.
