What's the difference on your dumps of halves?
If you return them to the banks coin machine and someone buys the bag they get someones dump.
If you roll them and someone buys the rolls they get your dumps.

Either way someone might get your dumps, therefore I don't see the difference/harm dumping either way?

Please share your thoughts on this. Thanks

If you re-roll them you have to re-roll them. When you dump in machine it is way quicker. Worst part of coin roll hunting is dumping. Who wants to spend time re-rolling?

The banks that sell me boxes of halves do not want them back. That is the condition for them ordering them. To dump, I have accounts at two credit unions with numerous branches where I can dump in coin machines at no charge. One of those credit unions uses machines with bags, but they will not sell the bags - thanks to past CRH'ers complaining about being a few coins short. The other credit union has gone almost entirely to Coinstar machines, my preference because there are no bags to change out and they also occasionally give up a silver coin in the reject tray. Every situation is different and you follow both the policies and customs of your own area.

You are correct, when I walk into any new bank or branch of a bank asking for halves I will buy all, knowing full well it may be from someone dumping their already searched coins. Doesn't matter, I got them out of that bank and had a chance to maybe find a missed silver coin. Sometimes that is the case, others not. I really wish there was coin machines here that would tank them, but at 3% charge like it is here, not going to pay to dump my coins. So they go back to a bank I have dumped at for years. And yes they have to be rolled and in a box for them to take them. So I insert them back into the same roll they came in minus the top as I slice it off making it easier for me to extract the coins and then reroll them.

I bring my pick up bank chocolates about 4 times a year, it's worth the forty dollars to me.
