Shorted!!

[Virtual Paul]

I don't know if this happens very often? I am a CRH noob, so let me know if this happens to you. I know it is my fault for not looking them over better, but I never had this happen before to me. I got $100 of dimes and it was mixed in I guess. No biggie, but I have learned to look over the rolls before leaving.

It happens, even in sealed MWR boxes. You gotta be prepared to pay to play in this game.

Yep you'll get shorted picking up and dumping (if you use a coin machine) all part of the hobby

 

[twiasp]

I usually have too much when my bank counts coins. I took in 3k in halves today to dump and they said it was 3037.00, told them they were long again on their count. They seemed puzzled like the other times it has happened. Told them to just put 3k in my account and hold the rest out incase their vault comes up short, when the numbers are crunched if they were long they can toss it back into my account or just have a pizza day lol.

cost of doing business...

All part of the game. I did $500 in quarters this week, and 5 different rolls had nickels in them. Shorts happen all the time.

I have been lucky with not getting wrong rolls and the coin counters have been fairly accurate as far as I have seen(never been lucky enough to get extra lol), but I have gotten hosed with plastic tabs that are the size of a coin, foreign coins that are worth squat but some are fun to keep and then there is the Canadian issue... Any thoughts on what to do with the Canadian coins? My bank won't take them back and I'm starting to get a good size collection.

How do you all know its the coin counters shorting you and not short from the vault. I mean unless you count each roll when you open it you assume they are correct from brinks/loomis. I have received rolls that are clearly off from them. I just chalk it up as the price of poker

Twiasp, that's really odd, I wonder how they account for the overage, as everything has to balance by the end of the day, the bank can't just have "extra" $ laying around.

 

[drcaulfield]

Banks have extra lying around. It's called slush and I was told directly by the manager of a BoA

 

[detectingarizona]

well, i know that some coins that are silver can be worth money, like canada had or has silver quarters, and mexico had silver pesos apparently, just my 2 cents, i just do wheat roll hunts gl HH

Both the managers at my BOA say they are overworked, they don't get a lunch break. And no restroom breaks.

My son "collects" them, so I just give them to him. Of course he is young and likes to collect most anything LOL. We do get a fair share of them here in Michigan because we border Canada. I think of them the same way as I do the "ruined" pennies I often dig up metal detecting. Cant really do much with them either.

OK we are in Michigan too. Hitting so many Canadians must just be part of living so close to the border I suppose.

I'm near the border also. We must all learn to get along with our neighbors!

Agreed. I have met a bunch of Canadians through YouTube and they are the nicest people!!

Not sure if a video needed to be made because you were shorted a few dimes.

Try being shorted $131 after a dump into a coin machine and a recount shows the machine was off by more than that from previous users.

Not even that required a video to alert the public to our exploits. The less who do this the better off we all are.
