When you dump your coins is there anyway to try and keep them out of your search area? Didn't know how far you would have to drive to dump for that to happen. It would be frustrating searching the same coins over and over.

Chuck, in most cases it will require a substantial drive to move it out. I personally don't bother.

Back when I was fully invested in the CRHing.
I could order upwards of $4000 in pennies each week from 3 banks. And 30 boxes of halfs at 4 locations. I was cut off from all of my banks this year, and some of those banks are also getting closed in 2013 :(
Not the end of the world, but I'm no longer looking for new supply banks. Just converted to buying bags of silver. More time to do other stuff.

After over 35 years of roll hunting, I'll never be able to give it up!
If the banks cut us all off, I'll find a way.
Even if pressured into buying those ePay rolls.
Roll hunting, a monkey on my back that I'm afraid I'll never be able to shake.

wow joblll 160 boxes of pennies a week that's crazy, I did follow your links and see that you were using a copper sorter. Did you just walk in and say you wanted to order 50 boxes of pennies one day or did you start small and work your way up? Almost 200 boxes a week in coin, how did you dump that much? Here I can send out bags with BofA to be counted and then monies deposited to an account, only way I could think of doing it with that many.
I had actually followed to see how you were buying bags of silver, anything you can share?

Yvairguy, it's that kind of roll hunting volume that's going to get you cut off, I'm not sure if you caught that in Jobill's post or not.

I made the mistake of ordering $300 in cents at one of my pickup banks where I normally would get $25 a week. They said yes, but when I picked them up they told me no more cents, so now I don't get anything from them. So now I don't ever ask for that much per week.

I always keep it at 8 boxes or less per branch per week. Sometimes I'll order more from a branch I don't normally order from but then it's just once a month or less. Dumping is harder than getting banks to order for me.

I ordered 16 boxes, a mix of half, dime, penny and nickels. had to make several trips out to the truck, I had a little luck all around but I think next time I will limit to just 2 denominations next time per bank. then I picked up 12 boxes yesterday. I wish I lived in a bigger city where I could hit multiples of the branch. It's a lot to go through.

I got 1000 ikes today with 17 silvers. Just ask the teller that orders to please call the armored car service that supplies them with coins to get a bag of ikes for you.Go with do-nuts, good manners and a smile.It took me 10 minutes at a bank where I don't even have an account to get the ikes ordered, and five days to get them.

I never pick up more than 2 or 3 boxes per week at any particular branch.

Not to come off as a jerk, but is coin roll hunting for some of you an addiction? I wonder if they have an Anonymous group for coin roll hunters. What you guys do when the silver dries up? Will copper be next?

XOG: Same here, Northern NJ.
TD Bank completely removed the half from their head teller coin ordering sheets. They can't order them even if they wanted to help you locally.

I do either 4 or 6 boxes of halfs a week, depending on if I want to do the extra 2 boxes or not and I usually try to do the halfs over 2 days so as not to give my banks any problems etc.
I also go through a few boxes of dimes and pennies weekly with an occasional quarter box when I don't mind carrying the extra weight!

Yes, it is absolutely an addiction. But unlike other addictions it doesn't usually cause hardship so why would you need to quit? the silver will never be gone completely. It just gets less common. Also, copper is actively searched for and hoarded already. Edited by baysinger626
