mdh157 Pillar of the Community United States 952 Posts	Posted 01/29/2011 7:52 pm I told the tellers at my banks that I go through the rolls with the kids trying to make a set. They seem to be fine with it. I do not dump at those banks though. One thing that I found out is that it goes a long way when you make small talk.....abt the weather, kids or whatever. I live in the northeast so I can complain abt the weather all the time! Report this Post to the Staff

Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 01/29/2011 8:26 pm I just tell them the truth and they have been very helpful.I have a standing order for $50 every week and sometimes they give me an extra bag or two.I also dump there and they told me to dump on Thursday morning because they ship to the Fed on Thursday afternoon.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/29/2011 8:39 pm No Australian bank is interested in handing over hundreds of coins at a time to a customer, unless they feel that they (or you) have a good reason to do so. They see it as just a waste of time for them, especially if they see a line of 20 customers waiting behind you. Fortunately, there are no silver coins to be extracted from the circulating currency in Australia. The only scarce coins that may be taken from circulation are mainly in the 50 cent and dollar denominations, but they are common enough after recent release to not to have to go the the bank for them anyway. I guess that may be the result of deliberate minting and issue policy. Edited by sel_69l 01/29/2011 8:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
okiepb Pillar of the Community United States 1213 Posts	Posted 01/29/2011 11:08 pm I never have any trouble ordering anything from cents to the new Presidential dollars from my banks. I do follow the "dump them somewhere else" rule and at Christmas time, I take each of my 5 banks a couple loaves of pumpkin bread to thank them for their help all year. Yes, I know it's their job, but a little kindness goes a long way. Good luck with your searching. Report this Post to the Staff

If not use that bank as your dump, and go to another branch. Or tell them you are really really bad at poker. But being honest and saying you are a collector is probably the best route. And a big to the forum. Report this Post to the Staff
w1a9c8k5 Pillar of the Community United States 1348 Posts	Posted 01/31/2011 11:17 am I agree with most posters. I tell my bank when the finally questioned me, "I have had an account here for 7 years do I need to justify why I want to withdrawl money in halves?" They usually frown upon it when you tell them your just huntign for silver or what not, but again it doens't matter its their job. Report this Post to the Staff
SDcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 2424 Posts	Posted 01/31/2011 11:34 am be honest. if they ask you, it is none of their business anyway. a teller asked me " did I find anything good in that box of coins I sold you last week?" before I could answer she said "sorry, its none of my business" i have tried "lying" I feel bad. just be honest. it helps. once I told them what I really was doing and what I really looked for, they started saving me a TON!. but its a risk to tell a teller that you get silver and how much its worth. because then they will want it. but if you say "ill split it with ya, then they are more apt to save some for you as well because then you just helped THEM out too.. it works both ways not to be so greedy Report this Post to the Staff
