<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Atreides, post: 1481149, member: 36287&quot;]Well, it&#039;s just a theory but I have noticed halves and nickels have been a lot more skunky lately.&nbsp; I really wish we could get some clarification from someone in the armored car or banking industry.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s also entirely possible that TD only uses Garda to transport and wrap their coins, in fact with the amount they take in from Penny Arcade it seems almost silly for them to buy rolls unless absolutely necessary.&nbsp; I think it&#039;s possible that even though Garda services multiple chains around here, they could be getting coins from different warehouses or distribution facilities (TD gets coins from the TD warehouse, etc).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I definitely need to test it out a lot more before I start writing off finding silver from any particular chain... except for TD, which is perpetually skunky regardless of who is delivering rolls.&nbsp; I really only ever have luck with wheat cents and the occasional war/buffalo nickel there.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess that it&#039;s also somewhat cyclical, bank chains probably have contracts with armored car companies to provide them with coin delivery services, and when those contracts expire it&#039;s open season for all the armored car companies to bid on a new contract.&nbsp; Garda may have just been the low bidder for TD in this region this time around, but that doesn&#039;t mean they still will be when the contract expires in 6 or 12 months (or however long the contract is), and I&#039;m guessing that means Wells Fargo or Chase or whoever could potentially switch carriers when their contracts expire as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
