The banks that I have dealt with in the Metrowest Boston area have all, to the best of my knowledge, used Loomis to handle their coin and currency needs.
Three times in the last few weeks, I have seen a Dunbar truck at a large retail complex (no banks, however) near me.
Is there any way I can find out if Dunbar (who I believe merged with Brinks a while back) has any contracts with any banks in my area?
Or, said differently, has anyone tried to put together a database or list of banks and their coin suppliers?
I suspect that most smaller, regional banks will deal with a single provider, but, perhaps larger ones might have contracts that vary by region.
My strategy, of course, is to have accounts with two (or more) banks that have contract with different suppliers and acquire / dump coins (halves, in my case) at different branches of the same banks.
I doubt that there is much of a difference between these armored car services, but if one deals more with big retail stores (like Walmart) and others deal more with banks, then you get a different source of the coins.
Also, there are several CoinStar machines in grocery stores near me. CoinStar takes a piece of the action (9%, I think) to process coins. To the best of my knowledge, their machines reject silver. Does anyone know which company handles the CoinStar accounts or is it big enough that it does its own? These machines get a lot of business and, if my suspicion is correct, no silver.
