<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 402976, member: 9474"]What is the difference between a teller who knows what a customer is holding and one that doesn't? When is one morally obligated to let that person know? If teller A and teller B each have a person at their window holding $50 in face value silver halves that are obviously worth more, but teller A knows what is in front of them and teller B doesn't, does this automatically make teller A more morally responsible or more morally incomprehensible because they didn't say anything? How many coins have to be presented to initiate that conversation. Let's say this same teller received a handful of change and finds one silver quarter in the bunch - should they say something to their customer? At what point do you tell the customer that they are holding something far more valuable than face value? In the end, in the most simplest form, when a person goes to the bank, they are there to either give away or take away money - nothing more and nothing less. It is not the banker's responsibility to be an appraiser.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
