<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1160387, member: 27832&quot;]As others have said, shipping and handling lots of boxes of coins definitely costs the bank real money. A box of pennies weighs, what, around 15 pounds? (A bit less if all zinc, a bit more if all copper.) Forty boxes is 600 pounds! Call up UPS or USPS and see how much they&#039;d charge you to ship a package of that weight. (Yes, the bank is already taking regular deliveries -- but adding that much to a scheduled delivery is going to add to their cost, whether directly or indirectly.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Should the bank swallow that cost because you&#039;re such a good customer? Let me turn the question around, since banks don&#039;t really &quot;swallow&quot; anything. To whom should they pass on the cost? Shareholders? Other customers, who aren&#039;t making extravagant requests?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
