Hey Everyone,
It's been quite awhile! Like everyone else, I've been pushed out of the game by the pandemic and the resulting ripples. My previous pickup bank no longer orders boxes for customers due to the coin shortage, supply chain, etc. whatever excuse you want to actually believe. It's been discussed before, but in my opinion it's the big banks taking the first steps to weaning people off of physical currency.
After calling around to other banks in my area, I was finally able to find another that will play ball. They didn't seem to have an issue with my request and were very accommodating. No trouble ordering, no coin shortage... they get coins delivered daily in fact.
Well my order arrived today and needless to say, someone along the supply chain wants to plant an idea in my mind...
All four boxes have No Silver written on them. It's obviously either the bank, the courier, or the coin processors trying to dissuade me from ordering. If I had to guess, it's probably the courier who doesn't want to have to lug these things around. Being that it's a new bank, they are probably trying to nip me in the bud, but little do they know how long a real CRHer can go without silver.
Will update later to see if the note holds true. With a relatively small sample size (4 boxes could easily all be skunks regardless of any special silver-removal processing) it will probably take a few months of 4-box weeks to know for sure.
