That's a nice haul and must be a relief from the skunk boxes. Congrats!

This was at a bank with a coin machine that you did not use yourself for dumps? One of my credit unions recently installed a coinstar machine (free for account holders) that does not use bags - so I'm thinking that the smaller dumps I used to make are not as necessary now and I could make large dumps at the coinstar and try to buy the bags where I used to dump (after a while). But how did you "watch" the bag slowly fill? The machines I use require a bank employee to enter a passcode to see how full is the machine and which bags need changing.

Yup I never dump at a bank where I get boxes or bags.

The branch manager every time I come in goes over to the machine without my even asking and checks the totals for me and lets me know what they are. I can buy any denomination I want, sometimes I get the dimes or the quarters but always watch the halves. I will be watching to see if the person who did the dump last week comes back making it a dump bank, I hope not.

Also I found 3 $2 Polar Bears (Canadian) I showed the manager and said it is not big deal part of the cost, there is nothing wrong with their machine. She showed me a jar of foreign they have gotten out of the trash bin in the machine and gave me a $2 Polar Bear. Of course even up here in the northeast where we can use canadian quarters, dimes, nickels and pennys just like they are american, they won't take the Loonies or the Polar Bears
