I saw a bank one time called Ben Franklin "something". I thought surely this was a sign from God. But aparantley they were too cool to have halves.

unfortunately all the "Franklin Banks" were bought by Prosperity Bank which describes their business plan very well.

That's too cool. But have you found any silver from this bank?

Well. I haven't seen many banks that have strange names. Steve Martin once said he was going to open a bank just called "Fred's Bank". Now that would be funny.
Kinda like a law firm called "Dewey,Cheatam, and Howe"

I say good riddance to all Franklin banks. All the ones I have dealt with have rude tellers and "customer only" policy on coins. And you can't lie and say yes because they check before giving you the coins. I tried that three times.

I'm just glad they failed. Not that I'm bitter or anything.
