oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5245 Posts	Posted 06/18/2016 2:00 pm I have seen quite a few references to "bank teller trays" but here in Ottawa, Canada I have never seen such a thing. There are no loose coins sitting visible to the customer. If I ask for rolls they open a drawer beneath the counter-only rolls are visible, if I can see anything at all. Can anyone hazard as estimate of how many banks have teller trays? 0, 25, 50, 75, 100%? Report this Post to the Staff

Some banks here just have them in their drawers and out of sight, some have them outside in the open. Its a matter of perhaps bank policy or personal preference if they have them out or not.

chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 06/18/2016 2:20 pm If there's a central cash, like CIBC when I worked for them, there's no tray. I'm not sure of the percentage of banks that use a central cash now. *edited to add, no teller tray with a central cash ... usually still one central tray (one tray for coin that all tellers/csrs use when they receive loose coin.

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5245 Posts	Posted 06/18/2016 5:33 pm Thanks, guys. I was kind of curious, and I thought that it might depend on the bank. Not that it would do me much good here in Canada if my bank had them. Probably 80 % or more of the nickel and all of the copper has been sucked out of circulation with this alloy recovery program.

fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 06/22/2016 04:58 am Although I don't deal with banks anymore because of the fees, they all had teller trays. Now that you mention it, my credit union, in which I am part owner, does not. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
