Is This Against The Law?

I will probably let it go this time. But if they keep discussing me, I will call someone and talk to them. The banks and coin courier should not be discussing where I am getting coin, how much I am depositing, where my coins are getting delivered, and how much I am picking up. I just don't want that kind of information getting in the wrong Hands.

I have had a similar experience. However the bank tellers were on my side because I get along with them well. The carrier told the tellers that I was dumping them at X location and that they were upset because they were delivering about 6 boxes a week. My tellers told them "He is our customer and we will order them for him if he needs them." Not sure how they recycle in my are but I have been finding silver still.

What has also helped me is showing them my Dansco Albums and showing them why I order them for. They always seem interested in the collections. Well at least they do when I am there. Not sure if they laugh when walk out the door.

Just keep at it is what I say.

I think I would like some of those recycled rolls. All I know is the bank people around here think I'm nuts. And I am sure they talk about me with themselves and anyone else who will listen. Get my 2 boxes tomorrow. I need that fix. Also B7m, you could bring one of those banana breads my way!

So this article: https://www.fdic.gov/consumers/privacy/yourrights/ is interesting. It appears that this law (of not disclosing personal info) does not apply in cases of potential fraud, which they may be able to argue since you are buying and turning in coins constantly.

Either way, this is a good read, and may apply to your situation. I highly disagree with what those employees are doing, and I do think if you talk to the bank manager, you may get somewhere, but I don't think its illegal :/

Does anyone have any ideas of how I can persuade the bank that I am not getting the same coins without mentioning the word "silver".

fistfulladirt: Funny, but at my one branch they mention the word silver all of the time... they always ask me if I'm finding any in the MW half dollar rolls.

So, either you are off your game missing those the first time or they are lying.

Nice finds regardless.


I do not see how this could be called fraud. Yes, it is a burden on the banks, but if they allow you to do it (even though they are not required to do so) without charging any associated fees (which is well within their rights to do), that is on them, not the roll hunter.
