<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1388188, member: 31533"]Valuable tip: be really nice to the tellers at the banks you get coins from, as well as the ones you dump at. If they don't like you, they can either subvert your hobby, or stop it outright by refusing to deal with you or by attaching fees to the front or back ends --- i.e. charging you for each box you order or charging a fee for taking in rolled coins or in the machines. Or they may suggest you pay for a business account to have certain privileges. It might be ok with you, but you could incur lots more costs with transportation in finding a bank that doesn't give you grief. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have been taking someone else's tips given on CT and last Christmas gave out eight 5-dollar Starbucks cards to tellers, etc. Also the bank I dump at asked me to support their Junior Achievement drive, by buying either a 1, 5, or 10 dollar 'card'. I chose the 5 dollar one. I also took out two SDB's there. My main bank I get coins at I opened a second account and am super nice to them. Also one of the tellers collects world coins - I give her some I find in coin searching....she mainly just wants to get one from each country. Last coin show, I went to one of the booths and bought 12 coins for a dollar. I gave her two from countries I didn't give her before.....Shhhhhhh! she thinks I found them!
