Ok people, I have to admit I may be crazy to admit some of these things but here goes.

I am a complete coin hound, I CRH almost everyday, I have bank accounts in 4 banks, and go to several banks at least 6 days a week.

I decided to buy a couple of Pop Machines to add another source for coins (I have not gotten anything really interested this way yet)

I have even considered purchasing a large scale (industrial) coin sorter/roller, so that I could offer my services to Church's, or other non profits that hold coin drives.

Am I NUTS?

Has anyone else been like this?

The one thing I have to say in my defence, up here in Canada the Penny has been removed from circulation, and one reason I am so vigil, is that I have several banks that I am still getting them from.

The longer I take to get them the less likely I will have them etc.

Please tell me I am not completely nuts also don't ask me what my work space looks like, its not pretty.

You are not nuts. I would go to the bank every day (sometimes I do) if I could. But I've cleaned out most every bank in the area. I could do truck loads to coin roll hunt. I get as many people as I can to look for coins for me, family, shop owners I know, friends, etc. I do it till my fingers hurt!

Here at the asylum there is a guy in a padded cell who mumbles.
"Need to get rolls."
We gave him a fresh roll with butter but he started to cry.
Is he dangerous? Do we ignore him?
Any help appreciated.

I like the idea of the pop machines... that's a good way to find a few extras...

About 10 years back a friend of mine bought about 4 or 5 of those private ATM's to put in certain places... the reason... he now had a legitmate reason to ask for bundles from the banks and could search them prior to them going into his machines.... he ended up getting some pretty nice notes out of that business for a few years.
Rest in Peace

The first step toward recovery is admitting you have a problem.

Nice to know I am not the only coin lover. Only thought it was a bit strange when I sell a coin, I actually get mad when it ships. I like silver dollars; morgans, peace, american eagles.
