<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 2633825, member: 2098&quot;]It sounds like the lot of you have had it way too easy with coin roll hunting and using coin counters. Access to coin counting machines is regional. Only one bank in my region that I was aware of had a coin-counting machine and it was taken away three years ago. Even when I had access to this machine I used it for the “non-commercial” purposes it was intended, to redeem reasonably small accumulations of change.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I don&#039;t coin roll hunt like I used to but when I did I developed an efficient system of going through customer wrapped rolls (CWRs) or boxes of machine wrapped rolls (MWRs) and re-rolling them instead of just emptying them all out at once. With MWRs, I would typically go through one roll at a time and roll them back up without bothering to count them. With CWRs, I would not only go through the coins one roll at a time but I&#039;d count them in groups of three. This way I would be able to set aside the difference from rolls that were overfilled. Before you knew it, I had gone through the coins, everything was rolled back up and ready to be taken to a bank. I would often bring in full boxes of re-rolled coins to banks and I would rotate the banks I dumped at so as not to raise the ire of the tellers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most were fine with this and only one time did a bank seal my coins in a bag to send off for verification (and they did not withhold the funds from me in the interim). For those who like to knock on Wells Fargo, I will just say Wells Fargo is probably the least likely bank to sass me about whether I have an account. I’m not just talking about branches I visit with regularity, either. Even when tellers ask me they just have me swipe my ATM card and they don’t waste a bunch of time logging every detail of my transaction like Chase does (which is by far the least customer friendly bank around because of this highly unpopular practice). At least from my experience in the past, tellers at Wells Fargo are generally fine and happy to go to the vault to get me boxes or fulfill my needs without issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and no, I don’t foresee a dramatic increase in buttons and slugs being found. I know it happens but out of the thousands of CWRs I’ve gone through, not once did I ever find a button, slug or guitar pick in them. So sit back, relax, and get ready to adapt to a new way of searching (if you so choose to continue doing so).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
