<p>[QUOTE="Coinman_Ben, post: 1064406, member: 9923"]I definitely agree that banks tellers should be doing their best to serve their customers, but I also think that we should be conscious as to how readily available the coins are at the banks we go to as well. If one bank keeps all their boxes of coins in a vault and the tellers don't have easy access to that vault, than that would be a good bank to take coins back to and the banks that do have easy access to coins, or they have plenty of customers bringing coins in, that would be a good bank to get coins from, that way you're easing the influx of coins that the bank experiences from their other customers. I actually read an article in coin world that talked about someone who's bank called them informing them that they found two $100 face value bags of nickels in their vault that had been sitting there since 1969. That person immediately took advantage of that opportunity and in the process, they helped the bank get those coins off it's hands. That is the way it should be. The banks job is to aid in the circulation of coins, but they can't do that if they either don't have enough customers bringing in coins or if they don't have enough customers taking coins off their hands. Our job as roll searchers is to balance that out by getting coins from banks that don't have enough customers taking coins off their hands and to cash in the coins we don't have an interest in keeping at the banks that don't have enough customers bringing in coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
