<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1259190, member: 24633&quot;]I&#039;ve had accounts at the same bank for 30 years. It has changed names three times, but it has been BoA for the last fifteen or so. The manager has changed three times through retirement and transfers. There is only one long-term teller left who knows me from way back, but she has introduced me to the other tellers and I never have a problem when turning in rolls.</p><p><br /></p><p>About ten years ago, I tried the &quot;loose change in the big plastic bag thing&quot;. It was $400 in mixed denominations which the bank turned over to Brinks for counting. I knew exactly how much was in the bag, and I even wrote the amount in Sharpie on the bag. When I received my next statement, the deposit was 13% short ($52). I spoke to the manager, and she credited my account without even batting an eye.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve never had a problem turning in rolls. I&#039;ve never had to write my name or account on the rolls. For more than two years, I was ordering two $500 boxes of half dollars every week to search, and the bank even provided the wrappers (gratis!) so I could put them back into the boxes. The tellers never questioned the accuracy of the count and never complained about getting all of those half dollars back.</p><p><br /></p><p>It sounds to me like some of the tellers at other banks are a little bit lazy. It&#039;s very easy for them to check the odd numbers of rolls they receive to ensure that they aren&#039;t short. Like the chip trays that casinos use to make counting easier, the banks also have roll trays for the various denominations. They are sized so that a roll will fit perfectly in each slot. If a roll is short, it will be too loose in the slot. Another thing a teller can do is to run their fingers along the side of the wrapper. If there is a smaller or larger coin in a wrapper, they can feel the &quot;bump&quot; or &quot;recess&quot; inside the wrapper.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of you younger squirts may not have had the chance to develop a long-term relationship with the staff at your bank, but when you finally settle down in a permanent location, it&#039;s the best thing you can do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
