ninamason Pillar of the Community United States 1227 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 9:32 pm . . . . on asking to check a mutilated currency folder? I know folks here do it (I've seen the posts), but I've found a bank with a good supply of coin and friendly tellers, and I don't want them to decide I'm a creeper (or possibly casing the joint). HOWEVER, I do want to see if they have any silver certificates floating around (our poll, based on the number of fun old coins I find in their change, says "probably"). Is there a good time of day/week/anything specific I should say to put the teller at her ease or explain my interest? Report this Post to the Staff

ninamason Pillar of the Community United States 1227 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 10:08 pm It's that easy? "Do you have a mutilated currency folder? I'm a collector and I'm hunting old bills"? . . . . it feels like it should be harder than that. Report this Post to the Staff
sralloway Valued Member United States 97 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 10:27 pm Nah. My bank knows me by two names - Scott and Santa Claus. I've sung to them as I've come in, danced a little and always joke around. When people know you and are comfortable with you (and your eccentricities), it goes a long way in a relationship. Remember, your first contact point at the bank is the teller and it never hurts to be extra nice to them. Maybe I should post a picture of me to explain the Santa thing. Gotta figure that out. Facebook me at Scott Alloway for a pix for now. Report this Post to the Staff
