SantaFe, I've gotten tellers fired before, but I could tell this one knew he messed up and was fairly repentant about it. FWIW, I approached him about the shortage a few days later and he gave me the money out of his pocket... I think he knew I had him cornered.

This thread has got me thinking.

When I go to my bank and ask for a box of coins, I receive machine wrapped, sealed boxes. However if I ask for loose rolls, the rolls come in the same wrappers which the bank will give me when I ask for wrappers. The ends on these loose rolls have very crisp folds. They have never given me any machine wrapped rolls outside of sealed boxes.

This happens at any branch I visit. I have been trying to figure what the deal is with these rolls. Reading this thread and thinking about it, it appears to the bank is opening boxes and re-rolling them in their own wrappers. For what purpose, I do not know for sure. But I do know I have never gotten any silver from these loose rolls. I just attributed it to not searching enough of these loose rolls yet.

Maybe my bank has a policy of silver mining the boxes and re-wrapping them for the customers.

Paranoia or am I on to something?

Or, customers are bringing rolled coin back, using the bank supplied wrappers. Or, tellers are re-rolling customer coin. Several possibilities. You may be right tho.

The branch manager at one of my pickup bank was curious how much coins I found and I told him it's just a holly. One time I was late to pick up four boxes I ordered. The branch manager opened up one box and put them in a plastic bag ready to be shipped out. He told me that he did not find anything. I took the remaining 3 boxes and the bag. I found 4 40%ers in the bag. In one of boxes I found a 90%er. I was so glad that he did not open the box containing 90%er. He was very curious but not enough knowledge about the 40%ers. I am still keep my fingers crossed that no big-mounth show-off in my area try to educate tellers about silver coins.

Hello All,

My first post. I agree with halfhunter!....but not only make a few drops, I would make it my primary drop bank. Always asking for THE offending teller.

Cheers

couldnt they just weigh the rolls to determine if they have silver or not? it seems alot quicker and easier than busting them open and edge searching them. lets just hope they dont ever realize that.

They could, but we are talking about tellers here.
