Wow, $200 of CWR dimes actually pennies

[Shay's here]

Picked up $200 worth of CWR dimes at a branch on Saturday and just cracked them open to find a dime on each end and the rest all pennies. Think the bank will honor that?

That is just evil

Wonder how many times this guys done that. He just made off with $172.80 of free money.

 

[Coppercrazy]

Wow, well it's official. I'm never buying CWR dimes again. Sorry about your luck man. :/

dude that sucks, some people are that low... I think the bank will honor it but you never know..

Bummer - if you have an account with the bank you might have some leverage. They may be able to track them if they find out early enough. Good luck on getting satisfaction.

Sad, but once you leave the bank it's too late. If you return with the gripe, they may say "who's pulling the scam now."

 

[Diggin-N-Dumps]

That sucks man...Im guessin thats why my bank wont even take rolled change anymore

 

[BuffaloBoy]

my main dump bank won't even accept cwr, they make you put your change through the coin machine unless I get a solid 2013 box of coins or solid dated rolls(new coins on both ends) they will accept unopened MWR's.

The coin machine is a thief as well stealing about $2-3 each time in miscounts.

Wow! That sucks! All the rolls were like that? Occasionally I get one or two cents in a dime roll but that is just criminal what happened to you. Get back to that bank ASAP. They have everything on video and while there is no way for them to determine if you were the scammer or the scammee, if you are well known at this bank it could work in your favor. I would do everything possible to get this criminal busted.

I would agree with mercury...

Even if they dont give you a refund, get them to find out who it was... hopefully they were brought in recently, and not months ago.

yeah 1 or 2 random pennies, fine whatever, but 98% of pennies is criminal for sure.

I wonder how much time it took to cram pennies into a dime roll... lol. I know when ive found a random penny or two, it made it real hard to get it out of the wrapper.

This is why the entire concept of CWR makes no sense to me, from a bank/business perspective. No banks around here even deal with them that I know of. I mean, the denomination is smaller, but accepting CWR is basically like accepting a stack of $20s without counting them or even checking to see if they are actually all $20's.

The only way CWR would make sense to me from a basic business perspective is if banks only took rolls from well-established customers, and ID'd them somehow on the outside so that they could always trace them back to the exact customer. Even then, it seems like more hassle than it'd be worth to them.

THe town I live in isn't small. No shortage of banks and CU's here, I have accounts at multiple banks and only one has a counter. I know of only one other bank that has a counter here, and I've been in almost every one. It's not unusual for me to go out and pick up 2 grand in cwr coin between 2 or 3 banks, so I assume that varies in different parts of the US. I get lots of account #'s on rolls, and I get blank rolls...hopefully the OP's bank can trace an account# or review the cameras for info...good luck to the OP.

If all the wrappers were the same, take 1 or 2 good examples of them in if you go back. This way they can see what the rolls looked like and odds are they may have more still in their vault. They will check the ones they still have and if they start seeing pennies galore, they just very well may reimburse your money. Hopefully they have the guys account number on the rolls. GL and i hope they treat you well, it really depends on your relationship with the bank.

Wow, that is crazy. Please keep us updated. I suppose the days of CWR limited due to this. Its funny in the old days, the bank used to want your account # on every roll. Now they don't seem to care.

 

[Hunter612]

That is horrible. I know there are a few people that have done that to my pickup bank. They said they only accept rolls of cents, nickels, and half dollars now. They had someone bring in $500 worth of dime rolls and they didn't check and there were dimes on both ends and cents on the inside. I hope you get your money back! The bank should check dime rolls and make sure they aren't all cents.

I think it is now illegal for them to ask for this. Privacy laws.

I get cwrs with account numbers, names, addresses, phone numbers etc all the time but usually the letters are backed out by a permanent marker but if you look close enough you can make out what was written.

 

[Iamrussell]

Wow oh wow- I thought I got hosed when I got $400 in cwr dimes and every roll had a couple foreign coins in them- I was shorted about $12-15 total- hope you get it sorted out

just keep stacking, just keep stacking, stacking stacking stacking

Yes, I see the same thing. Some people still do it because that's how they've always done it but the banks won't ask for it. My tellers black it out sometimes but not always.
