Question about coin counting machines in banks.

[cyberdan]

For those of you that return your bulk coins to the bank and run them through the counter machine.

Have you ever been short changed?

Has the machine given you credit for more then you put in?

I will be bringing over $1000 in halves to my bank and I feel a little leery about pouring in that much not knowing how accurate it might be.

If it is a self service machine just dump in a few dollars at a time. You could also just buy a stacker with a funnel on top. GL

I have been both short changed and given credit for coins that weren't mine, but in the long run I have always found the coin counting machines to be accurate and the differences will probably average out over the long term. If not, I just assume its part of the cost of buying and selling coins in bulk from the bank since I haven't ever paid a fee to buy or return any coins.

Also, looking at the big picture, I figure the amount of gas I have used driving to and from various banks far outweighs any gain or loss I have received as a result of the coin counting machine.

Cyberdan,
I just started coin roll hunting on halves and was very nervous about the same thing you were, but anyway I was skunked on my first $1000 in halves so brought them back to the bank and put them into the coin counting machine and thankfully it counted them at exactly $1000. So for now I feel pretty content with how they count.
