@Murphy: Was it mandatory for your student number to be the same as your SSN? Because if it wasn't you could've just gotten away with not telling people it was a sensitive number and nobody would've known.

@ Murphy and Libertad---WOW! You're giving me flashbacks! SS#s as student ID#s was what the State Univ of NY did back in the late 60's-early 70's,
before the students organized and told them to stick that idea back in whatever ivory tower they got it out of in the first place. I believe that practice has
been gone for around 30 years (?) now.

Yes it was. The school assigned you an unique identifiable number. They were too lazy to use a random number generator to assign numbers to each students. They thought, since it was good enough for Uncle Sam it was good enough for them. And these people were supposed to educate me. As I have learned, having an education doesn't replace common sense.

Not out West. I left Community College in about 1999 or 2000. They changed the policy shortly after I left. I think the State had something to do with it? When identity theft became more prevalent.

Sorry. I didn't mean to hijack this thread. I'm getting off my soapbox. Back to the topic of coins.

I suggest everyone take fistfulladirts reply and hide it in thy heart so that thy may continue to have the opportunity for CWRs. I live in a large town that never has CWRs and won't let you turn in CWRs. Know why? Because its cost prohibitive for the banks to mess with every person who shorts a roll a few coins and every person that complains about missing a few coins. Every bank and credit union has told me the same story about people complaining which caused a change in policy. I even have trouble pawning off a box of brand new unopened 2012 coins. I've actually had them tell me to open them and run them through the counter.

I'm usually down for the "I deserve what I paid for. It's a matter of principal" argument. However, in this case, if you have the opportunity, don't do anything to ruin it for you and others. I'd love to have the opportunity to be shorted.

I agree with fistfulladirt and Owassokie. I won't complain to the bank if I'm short. Nor will I tell them if I'm over. If you receive rolls that are short, just make a mental note of it and go to another bank.

I have had a teller ask me why I don't pick up their nickels anymore. I tell them that I'm getting them at a bank closer to my house. I won't tell them it's because their rolls are short. They will find out for themselves when their bagged coin comes up short.
