Unless there is someon/ a teller who knew what the coins were they should be locked in the vault. I would be there asap call them in the morning.

Frankly, I am having a very difficult time believing this story. I have NEVER seen ANY bank teller not ever opening a container of any type with coins or currency inside and not count what was inside that container. The teller would then remove the coins/currency from that container and put the container in a small trash can under the counter. The tellers DON'T take their own trash out to the dumpster themselves, the cleaning service does that after hours. Even the bank's dumpsters are not even kept out in the open for just anyone to dive into since they would contain shredded financial documents. Even the amount of silver coins the OP had in that boxed changed from one post to another from some loose silver coins to five pounds worth. If the one box was actually inside the other as he said the teller would have definitely seen the silver coins unless he/she was blind as he/she was taking the one box out of the other.

And on a very substantial steroid program to not notice a box full of silver weighs more than cardboard

I too am having a problem with this story. Of course banks may be different where people live, but by me, not a chance that this could happen. Every bank by me has so many cameras over the tellers windows, the entrances, front and back areas, parking lots, etc. And I too could not imagine a teller being able to dump anything in a dumpster without an armed guard at her side. Anything a person normally hands a teller is watched, filmed, documented, so just how could a teller just throw anything out. And too, I wonder just how fast the police would arrive if someone was dumpster diving by a bank.

Most banks have a shredding service that comes in with a truck. Even offices in auto dealerships do that. They have a padlocked can with a slot in the office. The service comes in and takes the can to the truck and shreds it right on the truck, it then gets mixed with all the shreds from their other stops and they take it away.
