I stopped by a local bank today to get some half dollars. The teller that I talked to turned out to be a coin collector as well and said he had already searched the half dollars. As a gesture of good will, he passed on a Buffalo nickel that he found at the bank. It is great to see that level of customer service!
I will put the nickle into the collection I am starting for my daughter. It will be a good story for her!
Yeah....one of my tellers is a coin collector too.....nice guy...BUT HE LOOKS THROUGH EVERYTHING HE CAN ALL THE TIME !(and tells me that too!) So...of course that bank has become my dump station!! (3 banks of mine in town...so it works out)
Great story! He could have just let you waste your time with searched rolls. For that reason, I would not make him the dump bank; but if you did, throw him a bone each time you bring your searched coins in.
Nice story. I have noticed about 50% of the bank I get coins from the teller are also collector. I guess if you work in a bank you see all types of stuff and it make you what to collect the odd stuff you take in.
