@fistfulladirt---Few have ever hit the proverbial nail on the head as well as you just did. If the preppers intend to fund their ammo purchases with all
the silver they'll be pulling out of circulating coin, they'll end up doing their fighting with those little plastic forks and knives they got from Wendy's.

Fistfull/Fat Freddy, I'd guess the general audience that watches doomsday preppers aren't your "Average Joe". If this would have been on say "Housewives of Atlanta", I wouldn't be as concerned. As someone who has my own concerns about where this country is heading, I can tell you the a majority of the audience share characteristics that would lend them towards CRHing. They are savers. They view gold and silver as the currency of the future. And despite what you see on TV, most are on a budget. They live below their means. Most have a ready made CRHing budget in the form of some 6, 9, or 12 month emergency fund. I bet the 'end of the world as we know it' forums are buzzing about CRHing as we speak.
willy, They didn't mention copper. However, Pawn Stars just had a bit this week where the father found the old man's penny stash. Several 5 gallon buckets of pre-82 pennies. They talked about the copper and the legality of melting it.

The more attention this gets the better chance that all banks/credit unions will start to charge a fee per box. I'm down to only one place that does not charge me $3.50 per box.

If everyone CRHs, it will become pointless for ANYONE to CRH....

@tpg22---That is one major bummer. The bank and credit union I use still don't charge, and I'm truly grateful for that. I wonder how long I have left before they lower the boom.
@broseph---You're totally correct. Regrettably, my area is already so thickly populated with CRHers that we're presently almost at that point.

Not just the crazies watch that show...
While I was picking up four of my boxes today, the head teller (50ish year old lady, super nice) goes "So you do what that dude on doomsday preppers was doing right? You find lots and lots of silver?" I put on my best stupid face, looked dead at her, and said, "I have no idea what you're talking about, I keep the collectable ones and errors. I find maybe 3 or 4 silver coins a week."

Hahaha that's the trick...
Seriously though, what fistfulladirt said really makes sense. Most will eventually give up from the low returns -- you have to search very high volume to make profit -- and does everybody have that much cash on hand?
