 That is so funny about what you do with your son and the t-shirt idea! |

The only down side is that, when I do manage to get something neat, my son thinks I'm actually going to give it to him... I cannot wait to have that problem with my son.  |

All right, here you go:  [Click the image to go to the actual t-shirts] I used photos of the coins in my 7070 album, which is why there are a few proofs in the mix... |

I ask for halves or any other kinbd of funny money. I think that pretty much gives them the idea.

How about making up a t-shirt that has pictures of all the coins you collect and the text, "HAVE YOU SEEN ANY OF THESE COINS LATELY?" Milk cartons. That's the ticket. |

Ive brought the actual coins in on occaision, but a note might be good with some tellers and bad with others. Most of the ones I work woth can recognize what morgans etc are, but sadly also know their value and take them. And about that "fenale president coin", I daydream about that!

I can not stress enough going when the bank is very slow. It is really boring working in a bank because they don't have internet access on those computers and the muzak sucks. When it's busy I get dirty looks and eye rolls pestering them with dump bags and asking goofball questions. When I'm the only customer in there, everybody comes over to gawk at the curious fellow who actually wants those silly old grimy coins.

@SilverEye: I couldn't agree more. Going at noon while everyone on their lunch break is trying to get back to work is not a good time. I am lucky that I can take an early lunch break from work to run to the bank (they always are really slow between 11-11:30 AM it seems), or I can hold off and do my coin stuff at the same time I run my work's bank deposit, which is around 1:30 and also seems to be a slow time for the bank.

Anymore luck with this lately? I'm going to give this a try sometime. I'll let you know how it works out for me.

@Williamson: Not recently to getting an unique coin. But I have seen success in breaking the ice with tellers. I seem to get less strange looks then then I forget to grab the sheet (horrible at remember the sheet as I am horrible to ask for rolls). It kind of tips them off that I am a coin collector instead of having to give a long speech.
Let us know how it works!
