So I was at the bank yesterday, had gone through two $500 boxes of halves (no silver), kept a few 2009's but replaced those with some halves I keep around to get the total back up to $1000 so I know the machine is right.
When turning them in I told her there was around $1000 in the bag (I'd tipped it over in the car so wasn't sure I'd found them all). She came back and said there was $1110.18. She paid me that and I was a bit confused. I sometimes get odd numbers of halves from random banks that have some, and I'd gotten some rolls over the weekend but didn't think they were in that batch I turned in, but I have a bad memory. In the car I thought it over more and became more sure that I only had $1000 in those two bags. Well I called them later and told them I thought they gave me back too much money but they said they pay out what the machine says, and it said 1110.18 so I let it drop.
Later that night the branch manager called me and said they'd audited the machine, and they knew I'd called in and asked and said that the machine was off. I told him that it was off, probably $110 bucks or so. Thanked me and asked if I was a customer, I told him yes and he asked for me to spell my name. Said they'd just debit our account the difference.
I'm glad I was honest, that's the way I was raised and it is the Christian thing to do. But I am wondering if I hadn't called back in if they'd have known it was I who was overpaid So looks like it is not like monopoly, you don't get to keep it.
