Armored car driver is a CRH

[bama #1]

After 5 boxes of skunks I found out that the armor service we use has a guy who crh. Every roll I got had been opened at one end. I am going to open me a new account at another bank so I can order boxes from a different service.

How did you find out and exactly where does he do his hunting?
It would be impossible to pick them out of sealed boxes.
I agree with you, though - I'd move on too!

Well if that is true he should be reported becuase he should not be opening sealed boxes of coins. They are sealed for a reason,to make sure that the count is correct and not tampered with. However, before you make a complaint of that nature you have to be sure your information is correct.

I really cant say much about it, But I know when we get the boxes in they are not sealed and the rolls are open. I think he goes threw what he picks up then looks threw what he brings.

If this is the case he would have to let his co-workers in on it too and if they were splitting it up between 3-4 guys(per truck) it wouldn't be worth the time or the risk.

And speaking of the time,where do they find time to search them between bank drops/pickups?

It took me well over an hour to search a box of halves and reroll them.

Are the halves the only denomination box that are not sealed?Are these hand rolled boxes you are getting or machined rolled with 1 end opened?

I would question whoever gave you this information again before you make a complaint.Good luck.

I am not sure if it is the driver. I have seen some pre searched boxes. Example of these include resealed rolls, rolls with Bicentennials halves on the ends facing up, sealed boxes with paper wrappers. It is possible that during a down time some workers had time to CRH and put the dead boxes on the pallet. There are too many good boxes out there to give up just work through them. As far as unsealed boxes, I just opened two boxes today that had no tape on them and they had 40% on the end facing up.

I return my boxes the way you described with the machined end of the roll up. I'm sure lots of other people do to. With accountability so high, I'm suprised that the bank would accept an unsealed box.

I'll bet he is with Brink's.

This is a local service that does most of the community type banks around here. They also do coin rolling for banks. He is sort of like a mini fed, he collects all the coins from different banks. Then what ever the bank orders he rolls them and ships them back. I am not sure what happens if he needs more than he has on hand. I think he gets them from fed then re rolls them with his own wrapper. I have been told that it is his helpers that go threw the coins when they are being rolled. Your bigger suppliers such as brinks do not unseal their boxes,so I would say most of you don't have to worry about this.

This scenario puts a funny picture in my mind.I see a (big)dining room table covered with coins,5 or 6 guys sitting around it searching through all of them removing the silver and wrapping all of the cupro-nickel coins in there own "companies" wrappers and filling the boxes to be delivered to their "clients"(small town banks) knowing that people are ordering them to search for silver that is not going to be there.

And then picking up the bags from the coin counting machines in the banks and repeating the process all over again,removing the silver that little old ladies had just poured into the counter at face value.

What a racket.

How small is this town?

1 guy runs the entire coin infrastructure and can search through and remove every silver coin-AND get paid for doing it.Sounds like a dream job!

He probably pays his helpers (3)-(4)(depending on spot) 40% halves per hour.And a bonus if they find any barbers for him.
