[QUOTE="NorthKorea, post: 2168833, member: 29643"]So, let me see if I get this straight: 1) You don't generate revenue for the bank, since your account balance isn't high enough for them to care about losing your account. 2) Having your account closed at this particular bank would make things inconvenient for you. 3) You're getting upset that the bank won't set aside bank rolls for you. 4) Your response is to cause major inconveniences and costs to the bank by intentionally collecting rolls and dumping them back on the bank. If I were the branch manager, I'd close out your accounts and issue a cashier's check, then make a note on your file to never open an account for you again, complete with the manager's name and number so other branches know to not open an account for you. I highly doubt they'll change their policy from one that minimizes CRHers from abusing their branch to one that will create more costs simply in response to your actions. If anything, the bank might make you write your name and account number on each roll, and place a hold on your account until all rolls have been verified. Side note: For the time/effort you expend in searching rolls and going around to banks to exchange your coins, you could likely dedicate 10 hours per week to a thing called work. If you worked for those 10 extra hours per week, after tax, you'd likely make about $60-$75 a week.
