<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 3061629, member: 24754&quot;]The sad reality is that any past success that others have had represents a decrease in the prospect of your future successes. With respect to silver, this would have been a worthwhile thing to pursue in decades past, but nowadays, it&#039;s a bit of a snipe hunt.</p><p><br /></p><p>You also have to consider that, while it may effectively be &quot;free&quot; entertainment for you, it does cost resources on the part of the banks. Counting, wrapping, boxing, and transporting coinage all have costs associated with them. Even if you are opening boxes and examining the edges of coins through clear plastics wraps, your bank incurs some kind of cost for re-boxing/stocking, and at best are inconvenienced by having to deal with unsealed boxes. If you are unwrapping all of the coins and dumping into their coin counting machines, then the costs for the bank are even more significant. Just something to think about.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: I used to obtain and search for errors/variations in boxes of pennies from banks for &quot;free&quot; entertainment, and then re-deposit them in their coin machines. So, I&#039;m not being judgmental &quot;hypocritical&quot;, I just think that we should all at least be cognizant of these things in determining whether it is really worthwhile.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
