Only two banks in town will let me buy bags from their coin counters. I have bought half dollars, quarters and dimes and found silver in every single bag.

I have never seen a coin counter that will handle large dollar coins so they end up with the teller. All of the counters that I have seen take small dollars though. Thats why you always start out by asking "Are there any large dollar coins around?, no? How about half dollars?"

I just re-read my last post a GASP! my spelling is terrible. Sorry for that.. I should slow down.

My counter accepts Ikes. I have never intentionally run Ikes through, although two did go through by accident. "KLUNK-KLUNK" was all I heard, as they dropped to the internal reject cup.

Fistfull.. if they went into the internal reject cup were they counted in the value?
I wouldnt say that machine accepts them if they were actually rejected.

More importantly.. did you get them back?

Well, I went into the bank I had been told about and talked to the head teller and she said it wouldn't be a problem at all! She also told me that it was the first time anyone had asked as far as she knew which was good news for me too. If I'm the only one doing it than I know that much more that I'm not re-searching through what another bag hunter searched. Still means I may be searching through someone else's box searching rejects though which I hadn't considered before... hmmm...

On a BWR note however, I told her my son and I were putting together sets of ATB and Sac and Pres dollar sets and she offered that if I come in during slow times (she told me what days and times are best) they would be willing to rummage through their dollar rolls and check them against my list and sell me rolls that I don't have yet so that's cool! I asked about old money and coins that get dropped off and she said she's got a pretty good collection from the bank but if I just peeked at everyone's counter trays and saw anything, they had to sell it to me at face value.

Lastly, just a story she shared. They had a little old lady come through a few days ago and just needed money and tried to bring in over 100 Morgan and Peace dollars for face value. They actually took the time to explain to her that they were FAR more valuable than a dollar a piece and convinced her to take them to a dealer for more money. Integrity right there! Good on them I say!

Good luck and search on!

I just came back to say that I just got skunked on a bank bag of quarters today. Not one interesting thing in there, not even a Chuck E Cheese token. Pretty sure this was someone else's dump. The CRH Gods did not appreciate my hubris.
