So I go to a new bank today to open an account and the ladies are extremely nice, and I mean just genuinely nice. I start chatting it up with them and eventually opened up about collecting older halves when I can find them. I noticed that their coin machine was currently out of order, and I found out why just a few minutes later. As I was wrapping up the new account process, the personal banker starts explaining to me that a gentlemen came it with around $1000.00 in halves and started trying to dump them in the machine. She said he was talking to them and was very hard up for cash at the time. As he started dumping the halves into the machine, it started to kick them back out. When I asked why, she said they believed the coins were very old, and she said that most of them were the "old actual silver coins" and the machine just didn't want to accept them. Without giving it away, I just immediately got a sick feeling in my stomach. She continued to say she wished I had been there to buy them off of him ![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
There is a good ending to the story. Both the personal banker and the manager both took my phone number and gave me their cards and assured me that if any halves come into the bank they will be glad to call me and hold them for me. This is also going to be one of my new ordering banks. I know it doesn't make logical sense to most, but it is amazing what people will dump when they are hard up for cash.
Enjoy out there and hh,
