When I questioned the clerk who received the coins if there was a fee for counting the coins, she said &quot;No.&quot; but confirmed they were counted and rolled by machine. She had no answer for the difference between my numbers and theirs and said they did the count in-house under video surveillance. When I asked if the count was double-checked she hesitated slightly before saying they had double checked the count (I understood from the slight hesitation in her reply, probably not). No matter how helpful I was with counting them first, there was no way to contradict their short count.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seems like there isn&#039;t much incentive for them to have an accurate count from their coin machines.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
