Interesting Situation At Credit Union Today

Grace has a valid point based on my own experience - "What if they actually had no room in the vault on their shelves? They asked if you could come back the next day no doubt after an armored pickup"

Once I was told the same and it took me over 3 weeks to figure out WHY? Bottom line was that the vault way over the limit in "ABSOLUTE $'s". Ergo they had to ship out. If they took any more in large amounts of coin it would have got the senior teller in trouble for having way too much coin as it would have triggered bells and whistles all over the place.

FWIW - This week one of tellers had a whole bunch of $1 dollar bills and asked me to dump the $1's I was exchanging with him else where and come back with large bills for another exchange. He needed to get rid of about 5k in $1 bills and I helped him out. My perspective on these situations is that these are bilateral agreements as this same teller calls me when there are crisp un circulated $1 bills in his shipments for me to buy and search through.

Yes there are some tellers who are totally moronic and problematic - My answer is move on.

Peace

I have seen the vault in my local CU it will hold 2 boxes of half dollars and little else. I have to pick up my boxes on the day they arrive if at all possible. I don't take coins back to them Small branches just don't have the volume of transactions to warrant a large vault.

Pretty much Spot On.....
