<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 1322548, member: 12789"]Umm, without going into too many details - I have arrangements with several commercial banks and credit unions that I buy up all of their over the counter rolled coin and coins that they have run through their counters and bagged to send to Brinks etc. In essence with me buying the coin up at face value, then depositing the trailings into other institutions that I have commercial accounts with and are tolerant of getting lots of coin from me and NOT charging me. I know that when I get rolled coin that has gone through a distributor that I can still find silver, magnetic Canadian coins, and good grief even aluminium Somalian coins at times. So the machines are not "fail" safe. I know that the banks and credit unions I buy from must have machines that reject a lot of magnetic coins, but not silver - and occasionally some Canadian stuff slips through also.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin machines will not reject coins that are within the size and weight parameters for what is acceptable.
