Message:: [QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1240285, member: 15929"]"Money" is NOT a teller's job. Insuring that your account gets credited or debited "correctly" is what their job is. Cashing checks or making change for you from their existing supply of coins is their job. Opening new accounts or closing accounts is their job. Being polite to some arrogant and flippant coin collectors is their job. The implication that "knowing Money" is their job is just as silly as expecting a McDonalds clerk (who also handles your money) to "know" money or perhaps prepare the perfect risotto (since it IS food and they are in the FOOD business)! Bank Tellers DO NOT invest your money nor do they loan out your money or even loan you money. They are simply clerks who may or may not have other banking skills. Besides, these folks probably know "who" to ask if something unusual shows up at their window to insure that they can correctly credit your account thereby insuring that something counterfeit is not being passed. Instead of dissing tellers who know little about Historical American Coinage, folks should take a little time to educate them and be "freindly" with them since it could go a very long way in meeting your expectations in future visits.[/QUOTE]
