<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Animosity, post: 1239810, member: 30060&quot;]Even if &quot;a &quot;BANK&quot; is not code for free for all coin shop&quot;, it doesn&#039;t mean that the tellers shouldn&#039;t know what the different types of legal tender are. (which it&#039;s better for us if they don&#039;t know some things! (like silver coins)) Money IS their job. They should be required to know the different types of bills/coinage they can and cannot accept. I&#039;ve never worked at a bank, but I think it would be a good idea to have some kind of poster in the back with the various coins they can accept to help educate some of the less knowledgeable tellers. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll disagree with this one, first off, you can&#039;t really compare a bank teller with anybody who drives a car (comparing knowing the different coins with knowing all of the models that the manufacturer made since 1950). I would compare a bank teller more to a car dealer. I would guess that the average joe is not going to know all of the car models made since 1950 of his car brand of choice, however, I would expect a car dealer to know if I had a questioned them about it (not saying that they all would know either). Now on the other hand, you have the bank tellers who don&#039;t know what some of the coins are. As stated previous, money IS their job, so I would think they would know the difference between them, just as cars are a car dealers job. And to be honest, what coins do we have since 1950? 1 cent, nickel, dime, quarter, half dollars, large dollar coins (ike), small dollar coins (Susan b Anthony, Sacajawea, and now the presidential dollars).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
