Had an interesting conversation with a couple of tellers today, both of whom are coin collectors. They told me that a vending company owns the penny arcade in the bank.
I always thought that the bank owned all of them.
Anyway the tellers were complainig that they know that there are some old coins going into that machine but they can't get at the coin.
They went on to say that in the past they were able to keep the rejected and foreign coins but that now they have to turn them over to the vendor.
That got me thinking. Maybe I'll take a ride to Providence and have Louie the Coin introduce me to some of the goodfellows and get me a couple of those arcades. I'll have them set so that they don't reject silver. Probably set them for 3%-5% and place them in a Mom & Pop store in the city. The store gets 2% and I get the remainder and the silver.
I'll hang out front sell loosies, and check the bags from time to time.
Give it a name !
