who makes the dough when boxes are short.

due to some posts ive been checking more carefully

and brinks seems to be the bad boy.

i think they make a killing sending out underweight

and undercount coin. in an age when we can fly in space.

it seems impossible that boxes cannot be checked

routinely by weight.

From my experience Brinks is the worst in terms of coins being off.

Also, not to feed into the whole Brinks silver cull conspiracy, but I'm finding way too many Brinks dime box skunks where coins are falling out of the rolls. And these are Brinks-sealed boxes.

I don't even bother with Brinks dimes anymore. Brinks nickels are fine - never had a problem with those.

I haven't had a problem with brinks being short, though I haven't ordered many until today. I'll report what I find in a few days after I dump. I think the coins falling out are due to the boxes being dropped.

For a while I was thinking that my dime losses were from the counting machines at my dump banks. Almost every Brinks box I checked by actual count has been short from 16 to 20 dimes. Asked the vault tellers about this, they are aware and have made up some shortages. However, I've given up on Brinks dimes to avoid the constant hassle. Dimes from other carriers seem to almost never be short; but when they are, they are only off by 1 or 2.
