Anyone else give this any thought? I have been using my credit union because it seems much less likely that I will get the same coins back when picking up boxes from a major national bank.
I have accounts at two banks for dumping, soon to be three. One is my main bank in general, owned by Walmart so there's tons of branches all over my area. But I also have an account at another bank that has coin machines in the lobby. That's so that I can avoid inconveniencing the tellers. I'm about to get another account with a bank that seems to be more wide spread across Arkansas, so that I can dump coins while on road trips. I order coins through BofA, and I do occasional spot checking at the smaller chain branches in my area. But I never buy from my dumps, unless they have Ikes of course! But I know for a fact that Arvest, my main bank, recirculates the coins that I dump.
