my teller would most likely grab a bag of halves and beat me over the head with it.

That's a pretty cool story.
The girls at my banks would just roll their eyes and tell everyone about that goofy guy that comes in buying funky money all of the time :)

Yeah, that is a pretty ridiculous amount to go through at once.

Well....right or wrong we DO look at banks as a "service" for us (not the other way around). They have the " priveledge" of keeping "our" money and we don't charge them a dime as they "lend it out" to others to make money on ! In fact they charge US a fee to keep, manage, and lend out OUR OWN MONEY ! Ha Ha....  .... wait a second.....  Shouldn't we get a percentage of the money they make with lending "our money" out ? Someone should really check into this....... ....I think we're getting the raw end of this deal !  Edited by eaglefoot

My problem is that I belong to a credit union, which often does not have access to the newer dollar coin issues - they pretty much get the leftovers from the banking system. So I don't often get more than the very common and current rolls of coins when I ask for them.

Sort of interesting article, it would be great to go through this amount of coin! Wow!  Interesting article. Thanks!  Quote:
Shouldn't we get a percentage of the money they make with lending "our money" out ? Are you trying to say that you do not get any interest on your savings account? If so, then I think it is time to change banks! Quote:

Several years back, I was dating a teller at a different bank. She set aside anything that came in for me to search and I was able to dump my coins back there because she kept them separated.

I want 19% interest on the money of mine that they loan out to other people !....how's that? You know, like a lot of Credit Card Bank "lenders" do !! I want to "lend" my money to my bank for a nice profit.......NOT the piddly little token interest they pay on the dollar now for the privledge of using my money for their business dealings....  |

I will agree that the differential between what people earn and what they charge is a little broad. My credit union keeps it a bit tighter! |

I'm tempted to print that article out for the tellers I buy boxes of pennies from! ;)
i wonder what her hourly wage would work out to if she sold the accumulated silvers for metal value.
Now, my tellers would laugh and tell me no way, but I suspect they'd be more accommodating if I had as much deposited at the bank as this woman and her husband do... If you've got enough net worth to set aside forty grand in cash to buy a truckload of half dollars, you've got some leverage.

I wonder what she plans to do with all the left over halves? I doubt any bank will take them back.
