So, I stopped into one of my TD dump banks on my way into work to make change for a $50 bill.

I notice a sign posted up on the coin machine and that the machine is switched off. I figured it was out of order, but no...

I walk up to the teller, a good friend of mine, and she proceeds to explain that, "All coin machines are shut down indefinitely."

"All?" I ask.

She elaborates, "Every one in this area, and as far as I know it's bank-wide. Came down from corporate."

So, I leave and call up my friend at another TD and she confirms that this is true. But, she assured me that they are still accepting bags of coin. WHEW!!!!

I can only imagine that this is to evaluate whether or not they are going to keep the coin machines moving forward.

Any thoughts from you guys?

I feel like coin services have such a small impact on bottom line but can benefit consumers and businesses alike. It's like getting a cup of soda and not the full can on a plane. They're saving money, a miniscule amount in the long run, and it's pissing off consumers more than it is benefiting.

Where are you located at? If you don't want to disclose that then are you east coast or west coast?

Pennsylvania. So far it seems this is just a regional thing. I know there are just an absolute TON of hunters where I'm at. I know five personally now, and have tallied sixteen so far operating in the same area as me.

According to Liu's experience and my own and others, the dimes being counted as pennies are the main cause of the shortage.

I stop counting dimes at TD long long time ago.

I started to reroll my dimes to avoid this type of shortage. Two of my banks appreciate when my dime rolls come in, avoids them having to order as many.
