<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Yacorie, post: 951145, member: 25257&quot;]Ok so I was able to get some answers to questions from a district manager for Dunbar coin company here in the northeast.&nbsp; We happened to be at a wedding together this weekend and so I had to pick his brain.&nbsp; However, seeing as we were at a wedding, I kept the &quot;work talk&quot; to a minimum and just asked some questions that I wanted to know.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the skinny of what I learned.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>All coins (all denominations) are poured into a large coin sorter which sorts all coins into bags by denomination.&nbsp; Those bags are then put into another machine to roll and box them.&nbsp; He said that while it is not written policy, many of the employees who work the floor will exchange coins that they find with ones that are their own.&nbsp; He said that at the end of the day, if you meet your production numbers and the amount of money matches up, they don&#039;t really care if people are pulling coins.&nbsp; He said you would be amazed at some of the stuff they find in there and also commented that when there are large inputs of silver coins you can hear it in the machine and people will often stop to see what it is.&nbsp; Soooooo, they are in fact still pulling silver out of the hoppers.&nbsp; Also, he said at their warehouses they really don&#039;t have a &quot;bottom pallet.&quot;&nbsp; You won&#039;t be getting down to old coins through purchasing a lot of them.&nbsp; He said the more you can get through, the better for looking for coins but they don&#039;t have boxes of coins in their warehouse that have been there for a long time.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The other interesting thing he said was that you would be shocked at the coinage scattered on the floor but no one picks it up because of the whole &quot;stealing&quot; thing.&nbsp; He said on occasion, they will sweep the floors and place the coins in miscellaneous bag and stored away.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m sure I&#039;ll think of some other stuff he told me that I&#039;ll post but if I think of anything, I&#039;ll post.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
