Then they won't get any more for you. This is at the manager level, not the teller level. Skank of America won't even get boxes for people, including account holders of any type. There are no coin counting machines in these parts except for CoinStar, and self-checkout at Walmart and Harris Teeter. The closest one is about 100 miles away. I ahve already found all this info out last year or so when I found this forum and learned of boxes and bags of coins. I did the leg work prior to ordering my first box of pennies and I MUST spend them or eat the fees at CoinStar or get Home Depot and Lowes gift e-certificates. That is the way it works. Some places are just that terrible. Sure they will hold a few halves for me, or some $2 bills, but that is the extent the local bank managers will let money just sit around. I can look and reroll a box of coins in a day, it is just there is NO place to take a box of coins. THEY DON'T WANT THEM BACK! Simple as that. If There was such a thing available as a dump back near me I wouldn't be just using grocery money for CRH since I could convert it back from coin. But that is all there is. Sometimes, there are really no other options. Lot of you people just live in lucky areas, be thankful for it. Report this Post to the Staff
Yinzi50 Pillar of the Community United States 716 Posts	Posted 08/04/2014 4:09 pm Hi, Shadz: Have you searched all banking branches including Credit Unions in your area to locate a coin counter? I once lived an area where I thought there would be no coin counter. Later on I found out that at least two credit unions had them. Imaging myself living in a Podunk town, I would befriend with local businesses who use large amount of coins so I could persuade them to accept boxes of coins from me than get them from a bank. I would drive to the nearest big city and to buy 800 lbs of coins per trip. Report this Post to the Staff
shadz Pillar of the Community 1325 Posts	Posted 08/05/2014 01:18 am There are none. The closest coin counter is a credit union 100 miles away. other than the CoinStars and the two previously mentioned stores self-checkout that cannot handle more than a few coins as they are practically made to take exact change. the only business that uses large amounts of coins is Walmart as it is the biggest business and they don't need any coins, nor will they sell any. (and they have plenty of halves but wont "do banking" and would only give them out as change at the customer service "IF they are in the register", but wont get them out of the office or whatever) this is really just that crappy of an area, where those modern day luxuries don't exist.

JoshHellcat Valued Member United States 139 Posts	Posted 08/05/2014 5:58 pm Talk to your friendliest bank about depositing full bags of coins. They give you "Coinlock" bags, the type with the sealable tops. A nickel bag is $200 worth, Dimes are $1000. They just give them to whomever handles the cash, i.e. Brinks, Loomis. They count to make sure it is right (within 1% tolerance) and then deposit it into your account. I feel like it is more acceptable to make a deposit rather than just cash it in. If you can do this method and are consistently spot on with your bags, many banks will credit your account instantly. It really isn't any extra work for them. They just stick it in the vault and wait for the carriers to do the heavy lifting. Report this Post to the Staff
StashTreasure Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 08/05/2014 6:41 pm I remember before I had a dump bank. I'd just simply trade a box to the local dollar store for cash. Then again it was pennies not nickels. Report this Post to the Staff
shadz Pillar of the Community 1325 Posts	Posted 08/06/2014 12:33 am Mine just needs 1s and 5s. Tried to give the woman some gold dollars the other day and she kept saying "But we need our 1s". Um yeah that is why she could have given me a $10 bill for the 10 gold dollars. They are just too dumb to realize that they are saving a trip into the bank to withdraw coins and only have to go to a dropbox to deposit. Hey it is their money they are wasting, and everything I have got for CRH has spent so far. Literally. I am out of coins to spend except for Pres $ now until I get a box of nickels and pennies in the morning for buying lottery tickets with. Report this Post to the Staff
