How does one become one. I mean like what college degree do you need to become one? And could I work it part time? Do you even need a degree. I already have a full time job who pays me more than any goodies I would find as a teller, unless some idiot came in with some really old coin, or gold coins. Also as a teller can you exchange your money with their money? I know it's always on camera, and I've worked at a gas station before were I was always on camera and honestly they didn't care if I showed on camera that I pulled a penny from picket put on the register, pull a Wheat penny from the register and put it on the counter, put the Wheat penny in my pocket, and put the other penny that I brought into the store with me into the cash register so that there would be a net zero loss of cash in the register. Like I'm wondering if it's the same, if your drawer zeros out to none over and none under what it should be they could care less if you exchange money with your own. I'm just wondering. Or maybe I could just save them and call up one of my friends to buy them off of me from their account. Thanks for any help. Can you sit there and open rolls? Does anyone here own a bank and could give me an estimate on like how much it costs and so forth? Thanks guys  |

Well I do know you do not need a degree to become a teller, my roommate (we are both in college) is becoming a teller now, and he's a Computer Science major, so degree doesn't matter.
Now it terms of saving coins, I am sure you could do that. I am willing to bet as long as your drawer is balanced by the end of the day, they wouldn't care. Yeah you open rolls throghout the day too, and I am sure if you spot something you could just pull it aside in your drawer. Again, just going off of assumptions here.
Either way, I will post an update once I found out because I will definitely be using my roommate to get some coins ;)

I think a clean criminal record would probably be a big asset chasing this kind of work.

You probably already know that a bank teller is paid the least of anyone in the bank, and not that much compared to other retail jobs, especially considering their responsibility.

I have a hard jars believing that yelled ar allowed to, yet choose to ignore silver half dollars. I have been handed Walking Liberty halves loose by a teller. How could they not have noticed? I like to believe that they are not allowed to take it for themselves. BoFA Edited by BigSilver

Depends on the bank's rules and the local manager.

Yeah, as far as tellers go, I think it depends on each individual bank as to whether or not they want an employee exchangin coins for their own. It would depend on the boss to allow that.
I know a teller who did it all the time for years, and even when he wasn't working, the other employees would save coins for him ! I was so jealous of that guy.
And yes, one private individual can own a bank. In my wife's family, a guy owns and operates a bank and his father owned and operated it before him....been in the family. It's a small town and they own 2 banks in 2 towns.

I have asked several tellers in my travels around my state if they are allowed to keep anything they find. Some banks let them and some banks don't. One teller told me the bank manager let her go through the bags of halves from the change machine before the armored car service picked them up. To my benefit, the bank down the street from my work does not. I have a good relationship with the tellers and stop in regularly to see if they have anything interesting. Yesterday I bought a 2003 silver eagle from a teller for....wait for it...... face value of one dollar. I have also gotten franklins, walkers, 40 and 90% Kennedys. It pays to be nice to the tellers.

I am on pretty good terms with everyone at my bank. No degree is needed, and I was told by the supervisor that she used to pull out a lot of silver coins years back and has a bag full of them, but that recently too many people know to look for them and so they really don't find much any more. I would probably spend all my "down time" looking for varieties :-)
