Since I have a budget I have to work with, I figured I had to devise a system to get the most silver for my money. I'm lucky to have severals bank in the area and I'm off work at 1pm. (Damn I hate bankers hours) Since I have only have Dunbar in my area I had to be creative. Here's what I have starting next week.
Monday pick up from supply bank A search Dump at bank 1 , 6 or 11
Tuesday pick up from supply bank B search Dump at bank 2, 7 or 12
Wednesday pick up from supply bank C search Dump at bank 3, 8 or 13
Thursday pick up from supply bank D search Dump at bank 4 , 9 or 14
Friday pick up from supply bank E search Dump at bank 5, 10 or 15
Saturday Roadtrip, counseling or Divorcecourt (just kidding) this is family time
Granted this does require the use of 20 banks, but this way my dump banks only see me once every 3 weeks and only get 2 boxes plus any hand rolls I find. I also don't have one supply bank ordering a massive amount of boxes every week.
One other thing I have done is, I have printed numbered business cards and distrubuted (let's be honest, I've littered the county, over 100 banks) them in banks. I number the business cards so whenever I drop one off I write down its location and teller on my chart. Then when a teller calls me and says she has some coins for me I ask her what number is on her card and I now exactly where my silver is. You have to keep a chart! You keep records of your MD sites don't you?
Here are the keys to the bus. cards.
I usually try to find out who the vault key holder is. they are the person you want to give the card to. In my experience, tellers sell "funny money" to vault to get it out of their tray. She will have the most Silver.
When you get a call from a teller make every effort to go get the silver ASAP. She has made the effort save some silver for you, go take it off her hands. She also may have call a couple people and is going to give them to the first person who gets here. That leads me to the next point...
When you get there, quietly, make a big deal about it. Make sure the other tellers, not the customers, know you appreciate what she did for you. Then give the other tellers one of you cards. (make sure to write the numbers in your chart)
You want the tellers to be an advocate for you. If a teller is looking at a list of names of people who are looking for coins and you have this nice looking business card, you stand out from the creepy looking guy who scribbled his number on a scrap piece of paper. She will remember you and hopefully call you first.
Hope this helps you all pull some more silver away from some of the banks.
Oh yeah can you tell I've spent over half my career in sales?
