<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinOKC, post: 227098, member: 2146&quot;]It&#039;s great getting a whole stash of coins from the vault, but the problem is RETURNING them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Several years ago, I bought all the Kennedy Halves the bank had on hand,&nbsp; I collected the few silvers I found and returned the rest - properly rolled.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The teller was none too pleased (they don&#039;t mind selling the Kennedys to you, but they sure don&#039;t like getting them back)!&nbsp; She placed a sheet of paper over each roll of Halves then took a pencil and ran it back and forth across the paper until an outline of the edges of the coins appeared.&nbsp; Then she counted the lines to make sure there were 20 coins in each roll.&nbsp; She continuted to do this for each roll (possibly around 100 rolls).&nbsp; Afterwards, she gave me a look that would have melted ice.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I had an account at this bank.&nbsp; Instead of running the Halves through their coin-counting machine and deducting any discrepancies from my account (or crediting my account for over-stuffed rolls), she went through this procedure.&nbsp; I calmly stood there with a smile on my face as she did so.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Some may disagree with me, but banks take on the responsibility of handling coins simply by being a bank.&nbsp; If they don&#039;t want this responsibility, my suggestion to them would be to get out of the business.&nbsp; If I have an account at their bank, they should accomodate my needs as a customer.&nbsp; They certainly don&#039;t mind charging customers interest on loans.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ah, but I digress...&nbsp; I think that today I will see how many more rolls of Halves they have in stock.&nbsp; Hopefully, they will have some silver in them...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good luck to all you roll seachers![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
