Message:: [QUOTE="softmentor, post: 1456142, member: 10469"]I've been at this for about a year now. Here's a few tips I've learned.I think everyone has said it well. Its a little different at every bank and every teller, but generally, they are helpful. Being polite and showing your appreciation go a long way and help volumes. Also, I think we send off signals that we don't realize too. If you enter with a reasonable expectation that they will help you, they usually do. If you start off kind of "if-y" and apologizing and saying "is it ok if..." then you leave the door open to 2 answers, yes or no, and they may choose no. Simply ask for what you want, in a polite way, with a confidant (NOT cocky) expectation that they will fulfill your request. It really leaves only one door open for them; to fill your request.In my experience, it helps if you deposit your left over coins, instead of cashing them in. Ask for your paper roll sleeves where you deposit, not where you get the coins. It probably doesn't make any difference, but I also always ask for more than one denomination, something that a business would do. Collectors often ask for only one denomination. So there's my 2c worth, good hunting![/QUOTE]
