How Long Did It Take You To Establish A Good Set Up With Your Banks?

Young random dudes = dont care and will order you anything
Everyone else = crapshoot

Start with a smaller order and work your way up as you build a relationship with the folks at your banks. Remember, you ordering and depositing coins costs the bank money: tellers calling the coin courier to place your order, courier delivering your order to the bank and charging the bank for the service, tellers changing coin counter machine bags when you fill-up the bags multiple times over the course of depositing several thousand $$$ in halves, courier picking up the full coin bags and charging the bank for the service.

You want to get in good with any of them. Then ask them if they have any junk (coins that they don't like to count such as eisenhowers, gold dollars, susan B's, and $2 bills. Ask for them every time you go into the bank and I guarantee that they will remember and look for you. Thats what I do and they always save me stuff and many times it is silver.

I usually hunt nickels. after a two month break from hunting anything I went in and asked for halves and the teller remembered me and asked if wanted any nickels too.

Not sure if this would be the right thread or not but I have a good system set up for coin pickups and dumps, recently I opened a new account at another bank so I could use them exclusively for rolled up coin to dump, there are about 10 branches within 10 mins from my house, but today I stopped at my favorite pickup bank and I have been going here off and on over the past few months, they only supply me with customer rolled coin that they are in excess of so I never know what I will get when I go in, but I take anything they offer. So today I walked in and the same teller that has waited on me in the past says we got dimes and nickels but she doesn't have enough to spare, then she asked what I do with all my unwanted coins and I said I take to a different bank she said well if you mark your rolls and we can do box swaps for new stuff that comes in. So I said I had 2 boxes of dimes and a box of nickels in the car that I'm going to dump at another bank so she said bring them in and we can swap now. I said ok, so I came back in with the boxes and we swapped. She dumped all the coins out on the counter and marked them for me and said we will use these for other customers or ship them out and any unmarked ones we will put aside for you. She said I won't bag any rolls unless they are marked. I happened to have an empty dime box and nickel box in my car and I also took them in and she marked it with my name on it for new customer rolls that come in and she said when you come next week or two we can make another box swap. She also said if I get more coin than they have to trade she will take it and either use it for her other customers or ship it out. She was all for this and was excited to hear about my finds, so I showed her a few pictures I had on my phone of a few that I have found over the past few months and she was like that is way cool, and I asked her was she sure she wanted to go to all this trouble and she said it's no big deal cause she gets paid to handle money and get paid by the hour! So I think she deserves a box of cookies or something special for going above and beyond her job duties.

Impossible to do this in Australia.
They will not cooperate with CRH'ers.
As far as bank profits are concerned, they only see CRH'ers as a dead loss; no profit for the bank to provide this kind of service.

Big7mag, I would be afraid of jeopardizing the ordering bank if you took them back, your right I think I would keep taking them at your regular dump bank. I wish I had a bank in the area with a coin counter but after calling 12 different banks nobody seems to have one. But if your bank orders them and the other bank takes them I wouldnt want to mess anything up with your system. Keep up the hunt!
