I'd let your supply bank know.

Take the loss. Notifying the bank over $5.00 is going to cost you a pickup Bank.

I've had rolls that are short.. yes, I insert to make them full. I want to be honest about it when I dump. I don't want to compromise my relations with my dump bank.

If I recognize that the roll/box is short, I make up the difference. When I dump, I want to be confident that the amounts that I report are as accurate as I can make them.

I had a box recently that had at least a dozen rolls with hidden nickels. Some rolls had two of them, making the roll value $9.10. These were rolled by machine, too! I had to put about $6 - $7 of my own clad halves back into the pile to fix the discrepancy. Frustrating, but considering that a single 40%er is currently worth $5.29 for the silver content (not even considering the copper value), I figure that it is a ridiculously low price to pay for what I am getting out of the deal.
