Every 6 months to a year, we have the exact same thread come along on every CRHing forum. Same start and same result. Several people, who have producing Brinks rolls come on and comment about how it can't be true because I have proof. EVERY REGION IS DIFFERENT. There are no absolutes in our hobby. If you lived where I live, you wouldn't be searching brinks plastic wrapped dimes for long, unless you were a glutton for punishment(like me). I've been CRHing heavily for several years and I can tell you something is up with the brinks dimes in my region. It doesn't really matter if they are pulled by brinks sorters, employees, or they all come from a machine (coinstar) that doesn't take silver...my brinks clear plastic wrapped dimes don't produce. That said, I have no reason to believe all Brinks locations are sorting/pulling silver. My results tell me brinks isn't pulling silver halves from my location, but it doesn't mean they aren't pulling halves at a different facility.
Btw, Someone will reference a Brinks policy about not pulling coins. People fail to realize how many facilities there are and how many opportunities there are for people to pull silver before the box/bag reaches you. In some instances, Brinks will partner with a major bank and use their facility. If a manager or employee has the same kind of 'CRHing itch' that we do, they'll have an opportunity to pull silver. Policy is not the same as legality and policy lines can become blurred when you're combining a bank and a courier's policies.
Ha. If i still had hair i would be pulling it out.
