Message:: [QUOTE="Hellofthenorth, post: 1381815, member: 30988"]So what does everyone say when asked the question "what do you do with all of the dimes/halves"?  Post up your most creative responses. I simply tell them I like to collect coins with my daughter.  We build albums and hopefully they will pay for her education someday or a downpayment on her first house.  They typically eat that stuff up.  I never mention silver, even though half of them know what we all are doing.  I don't want to educate them to a point where they are buying up the silver from their teller trays.  Some have said to me that others are looking for silver coins, I just say "that's interesting" and give them a smile.  I mentioned how I work with a teller who is sniping coins from his tray. Thankfully they are prob paying him $12 an hour and he doesn't have the bank roll to buy a couple boxes of halves each week.  I did go through a bad streak with boxes from him, but I've also gotten boxes from him with silver enders.  I don't think he's messing with my order or anything like that, but it's the last thing I need is another hunter in my small town.  Got to love the looks that people give when you roll into the bank with your daughter in one arm and a canvas bag with $500 in halves in the other.  You proceed to fill the machine and have the bag changed 5 times...ha ha ha  When will they learn to set the machine at a $500 limit so I can get out of there faster???
