I think one of the big issues is that the banks have to PAY to order boxes in and then PAY to have the company bring back their loose coins as well. So they are paying the fees for each of us to enjoy our hobby. That is the issue. This is why we have no reason to be upset when they shut us down, refusing to provide coins or accept dumps. Quote:
I like to edge-search my Cheerio's boxes looking for brass. Plus I find the nutritional information on the side a good "REED". I see what you did there.  |

BOA and Chase told me they pay a flat rate for coin delivery, ordering more boxes does not cost them any more.
I have also seen this stated on several different sites
while doing research on google about couriers.
The vault manager at Chase told me they have a budget for that and it does not cost any more if I order 2,4,6 or 10 boxes, the drivers for the couriers do not like it but
that is what they get paid for.
Though I believe they have to pay to have the coins rolled
that are dumped in their coin machines.

Congrats, Monk!
I try not to take advantage of the tellers, as you all have pointed out. I also do not dump at the bank I order from. The banks that won't order them for me get my dumps. So far, they are fine with it. I don't order more than 2 boxes from any bank. I also give gifts to the bank staff.
So far, it's been a fun adventure! At some point, I'm gonna cash some silver to help pay for my boxes, but I don't know when I'll have the guts to let them go!

I did my bi-weekly trip to some local banks to see what CWR's I could gather. I ended up with about $1500 in coin and got four 40%'ers. I didn't really break even on this trip, but I keep on plugging away as the good days usually make up for the bad days.

So to update, my work has me taking a company car an hour and a half away 3 days a weeks. Looking for a "silver lining" I have been hitting banks I have never been to. I have been pretty fortunate. I have bought about $1000 in CWR and I have found 6 40% and 2 90%. This includs the city I now work and the one on the way to it. It is nice to again hear "yeah, I will be glad to sell you those, I hate counting them!" My pleasure my dear, my pleasure...

Finished one more box tonight. I got 1 1954D Franklin! My 2nd for that year and 3rd total . I also now have 10 full rolls of NIFC. Do these sell on the bay at all? Anyone need full rolls of 2003-2005? |

I think NIFCs do sell on ebay but condition does seem to make a difference. |

Has anyone discussed the idea that it is technically our money, and therefore we can do what we like with it, and that bank's profits suffer very little compared to what they bring in? Just curious as to what people think about this thought. You can do as you please with your dump truck full of sand, but if you dump it in my driveway, we're gonna lock horns  . The bank is under no legal requirement to get or accept half dollars for anyone. Look at it from their POV. They're trying to cut costs, and here's a (perhaps non-)customer costing them $5-50 a week by using their resources to pursue a hobby that has nothing to do with the purpose of the bank. It's a simple solution, and you're going to find it happening more all the time. |

that is what they get paid for. When their contract comes up for renewal, it wouldn't surprise me if they go to a pay-as-you-go plan. The bank, in turn, will then charge by the box. For those who feel this is unfair, what is fair about passing those costs along to all the other customers? |

BernieZ: I have Well's fargo as well. How did you get them to get you boxes? You just told them you roll searched and you asked them to order you some? Did they charge a small fee to order them? I talked to one wells fargo branch and they said they'd charge me. Maybe i'll try another.
