dcoin Valued Member Australia 191 Posts	Posted 01/18/2012 03:12 am At my normal bank they know I collect them, in fact last time I was there and cashed them in they asked if I wanted any more 50c coins, I said no I think I've found everything I'm looking for to which the teller replied 'so does that mean you want some 20's now'. If it's a branch I don't normally go to then I just say the coins are for a poker game. My question is what should I have done in this situation. I put my coins into the coin counting machine and the machine got full so the teller came out and changed the change bag in the machine, inside the coin counting part of the machine I saw a bunch of UNC (full red) 1c and 2c coins sitting there (which the machine obviously couldn't sort). I was half tempted to ask if I could take them off the banks hand for their face value but wasn't sure if that would be against their policy. Report this Post to the Staff

dibby33 Valued Member Australia 465 Posts	Posted 01/19/2012 01:33 am I am going to get a UV marker and start marking my coins. I am getting really concerned that I am in a closed market here. (Have just been pricing metal detectors!) Wonder what the maths would be : Number of people : 500,000 (in a large area) Average amount of cash transactions both in and out of banks / businesses... Average turnaround of a coin Average distance covered. Me thinx me thinx too much. Going for a beer... Report this Post to the Staff
tiddyathome Valued Member Australia 252 Posts	Posted 01/19/2012 01:39 am All 4 big banks in my town know I am a collector. They also know that I share my larger finds with other collectors ( cant afford to keep them all myself). For this they call me if something good comes in. Report this Post to the Staff
