[QUOTE="BigsWick, post: 255510, member: 3534"]I've never had a teller cherrypick a coin before my eyes, but I have had tellers show me stuff they'd pulled form circulation and kept as a part of their own banks.

I always wondered why they didn't just replace the finds with money of their own, but never asked for fear of treading into a sensitive area. I did watch an ABC store clerk swipe a silver quarter from my best friend. He'd just given it to him in change and took it back, claiming he was going to turn it into the governement! I nearly lost it right there on the spot. My friend didn't care at all, but I was livid. You are better off ordering boxes to search if you can. I'm into my 3rd year of roll searching. My luck has been tough thus far, but I'd venture to say it is better than the success I'd have if I asked tellers for loose coins to search. I know, sometimes you don't a have a choice. The head teller at my bank just left for another branch in another town. She was my "hook-up," so now I'm starting to get dirty looks from the other tellers when I go to get a box to search. Seems like things might have come full circle.[/QUOTE]
