<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cliff Reuter, post: 7589017, member: 115140&quot;]Yes, the coin-counting machines are notorious for undercounting change.</p><p><br /></p><p>Late last year while visiting in Tenn., with the coin shortage from Covid, I had a friend sell me +-$346 worth of change so I could search the Lincoln cents he had hoarded for the last 15 years. I counted the change myself to know how much to pay my friend. I then found a local Suntrust that would take the loose change (nickels, dimes quarters, and halves), count it, and credit the amount to my account. (I didn&#039;t want to haul it back home.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I was expecting a credit of about $318 after deducting the cents I kept. When the deposit only showed about $260.00. A shortage of $58.00 or 18%. I got irate thinking they had charged a counting fee as a Coinstar machine does. But the numbers were off based on percentages so I called them to inquire about their fee. They said there was no fee and that there is a video camera of the counting process to make sure nothing is amiss. </p><p>My point to them was that all the video camera will show is that the employees didn&#039;t pocket the difference. It can&#039;t show the machine miscounting the change.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was infuriating since when dropping off the two buckets of change I even pointed out the slips of paper with my totals for each type of coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Live and learn I guess, as I didn&#039;t have any recourse that I was aware of.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
