Getting boxes of coins from the banks.

I think in many cases it is up to branch management discretion. I have heard of places that will sell bags to customers; we do not. The bags can have errors or inaccuracies due to a number of factors, and that's just not something we want to deal with.

thank you for the help

 

Just started this new hobby, and loving it. Instead of putting the coins back in the bank (and possibly having to buy them again), I am saving them as a kind of "forced savings account". I rarely spend coin, so it makes it easier to save. I'm just wondering what the heck to do when I run out of room. Also, i have the same questions as roger (above).

 

Just curious, if coinstar rejects silver, wouldn't that be a fast way to check large amounts of coin for silver? Only if you have a discount at coinstar of course.

 

You can spot the silver quicker then the machine could, for the simple fact that as soon as you open the roll you can pull them right out.no need for the coinstar,unless your dumping. And I don't recommend them.Call around, alot of banks have free ones. But if they don't it's around 5% instead of 11%. HH!

 

Thanks!

 

Could you have gone back when you had more time?

 

I've been holding these coins for them for 20 years. I feel like I deserve storage fees.

 

Is there anyplace other than the bank and ebay to get unsorted rolls/bags?

 

Not easily I would imagine. Also FYI, nothing on ebay is "unsearched".

 

It's hard to believe that they'll give you a dollar for a hundred of them.

 

Does anyone find silver anymore in their coin rolls?

 

check out the CRH thread.
I found almost 5oz on Friday. It's out there still.

 

Does anybody use the "Five magic words" ?

 

That's unbelievable? Don't they weigh their coins?

 

I doubt it? They are MWR from Loomis. They just get the coin from banks/the fed and dump them into bins to be sorted. Not worth the time/effort for them to weigh each roll.

 

I feel like this is a futile Endeavor in New York City. There is just too much rotation and circulation for me to think the bank has anything other than modern sorted meter money.
