So the shutdown has begun

[ugotit22]

So I new the penny arcade shutdown was going to hurt me bc I was always dumping nickels, dimes, quarters, and pennies into them on a regular basis. I would plan road trips around the idea of going bank to bank with a td mixed in. Well what i didn't anticipate was being shut down on my bags. For four years I have been able to bag dump halves with instant cash. I was informed yesterday that with the new coin regulations in would not be able to dump bags any more. I am still able to search as I have many other banks with machines, however what this effectively does it limit the high volume orders as I will not be able to run 10-20 boxes through the machines. So it looks like it's going to go back to a modest 3-6 box pick up here and there. These are my last two banks so I need to tread lightly with the dumps. Judging by yesterday batch of 15-40s and 2 Franklin's for a 10 box order, the future isn't too bright.

I only dump half a box at a time. Otherwise you are certain to have the manager over to empty the machine.

Yeah, man, TD shut me down a little bit ago too. I was able to find a PNC that was willing to take bags, but they've giving me crap for it already.

I was averaging twelve boxes per week before being cut off from dumping bags, now I'm averaging five boxes per week.

We will persevere, always a way when there's a will. I'll go back to hand rolling if I have to.

I hand-rolled for a while after my bag-bank wouldn't give me instant credit anymore. I got to where I could search & roll a box pretty fast, but after 4-5 skunks in a row, the effort wasnt worth it. BofA still takes the bags but I have to wait for a credit. It's not too bad tho if you figure out their pick up days & you can time the credit with your next pick up and still do a decent volume w/out having to roll.

One other solution, put on a coat and tie and get a job at a bank. They hire all the time...Maybe one other solution, date a higher up employee if possible...

Same here. I don't really hunt in the summer but I only will be searching 2 to 4 boxes every other week and only occasionally dimes. I have access to 4 coin machines but I don't want to abuse them. I already started asking for empty halves sleeves at the banks to stock up. TD was a huge blow to my dimes, nickels, and quarters. It was so easy with many locations close by. I could go 3 weeks without entering the same bank. Depending on how the half boxes are this fall I might stop completely and exclusively hunt CWR of coin and dump when I get up to $500 or so. I can't justify re rolling 4 boxes of halves of I am getting a couple 40% and occasionally a 90%.

Austin if I wasn't married I would love to date at least 70% of the women tellers in the banks I frequent. There so many attractive ones I'm starting to think the hiring
Managers are behind it [emoji39]
