<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chip, post: 1259852, member: 19122&quot;]I will echo what others have said, when my father passed on, he had tons of change, well at least hundreds of pounds, I did a test to see, I took exactly 100 dollars in rolled coin, halves, quarters, dimes, nickles and pennies (cents), and turned them into the bank for deposit in the estates account, the person told me that they had to put them through a machine, they came back with a chit for 93.82. So I decided that was too much for the estate to give away (over 6%) </p><p><br /></p><p>It might have been some coins were rejected and the teller did not bother to check, it could have been that she pocketed some coins, but what it could NOT have been is that those rolls were that much short.</p><p><br /></p><p>I felt that 6 dollars and 18 cents was a cheap lesson to learn that the bank in question was either dishonest or lazy. Many times it has cost me more than that to find out someone was not trustworthy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the credit union and the bank I get rolls from has not shortchanged me even once, shop around, there are good places out there.</p><p><br /></p><p>It sometimes might even be a particular branch that is shoddy in their practices, talk calmly to the head teller or manager about your problems, if they do not take any action write a letter to their corporate HQ. Be courteous and matter of fact in your letter, and let them know the facts as you do, and perhaps they will look into things and if it is a bad branch they will clean it up.</p><p><br /></p><p>If not there are thousands and thousands of other banks, find one that welcomes your business.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
