<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 562781, member: 5233"]Yes it does, but there is also a section in there...in every bank that specifies what your job is. Your job is to make the bank money, not stand there and discuss coin values to discourage the deposit of it. The real villain in this story is not the bank teller but the thief who stole the coins. Now, I know this is an extreme example and the coins were clearly stolen from day 1. I'm not saying I would have taken then gold...that's crazy. I probably would have called the police right there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, those of you who think its immoral to not tell a customer if there is one 40% silver half in a roll...you certainly have your head in the clouds (or somewhere else). Tellers don't stand there with a customer at their window and go through every coin to make sure there is no silver. I have been a coin collector for years and I didn't do that. That would make the customer wait. I looked through my coins when we had slow times. That's when I would make most of my discoveries. </p><p><br /></p><p>With this logic, it is immoral to not point out every star note and wheat back cent as in many cases...they have a collector value more than face.
