[QUOTE="Chip Kirkpatrick, post: 7970982, member: 101265"]A year or so I was complaining about the coin counting machines at VYSTAR (NE Florida) They don’t accept rolled coins and everything must go through the machines. But the machines are NOT ACCURATE. I was constantly being shorted. As Ilearned and reported there is an external reject tray for foreign or damaged coins to be returned to the owner. HOWEVER THERE ARE TWO INTERNAL REJECT TRAYS that seem to skim coins without giving credit. Google this and you’ll learn about a number of “mistakes” that robbed as much as 10% from innocent clients. This morning I double counted $500 in Kennedy half dollars. Nothing but half dollars. I went to a VYSTAR location and started feeding in the coins. Soon the running total had $.03 credited along with the totals I was depositing. I informed a teller and she said they were probably coins that weren’t credited for somebody else. AH-HA! Proves my point. Well I was credited with $497.03. $3.00 short. Now that may not sound like much but it adds up. And it’s unearned profits for the bank. Happily they didn’t argue and credited me the $3. THIS TIME.[/QUOTE]
