Dump bank etiquette question?

[ENTHUSIAST]

How often is okay to visit a dump bank per month?

Once a month is what I am thinking about.

Is every 2 weeks too soon or should I dump every other month?

Edit: My credit union does not have any locations with machines and they do not do bag deposits they only accept rolled coins.

How are you dumping? Bags or coin machine?

CWR that is all my credit union will accept they do not have any locations with machines and they do not do bag deposits they only accept rolled coins.

Once a month? I worry sometimes when I return dumps every day. Now, the volume of my dumps are rarely over $200, but even then I try to mix up the branches so I don't wear out my welcome. And I do ALL my banking at my dump bank -- a plus for sure.

500$ a month, at once a month. build up the relationship, and you should be able to do 1000$ a month without a problem. But it is best you experiment with your dump bank. As we're all from different areas and cant say what works for me or someone else, will work for you...

Get a feel for the bank. I start smaller, get a feel for the place and the people, dump every two or three weeks, and up it if it looks good. I only bring enough for one bag change, don't want to cause multiple bag changes. Bring occasional treats, be super polite and helpful. Yes it's their job, but don't make it difficult. I tell them I will need a bag change if they're not busy when I walk in, so they can get the keys. f I know where the extra bags are, I'll get one ready. I offer to move the full bag if the teller isn't very strong. I'm super patient- sometimes I've waited 20 minutes until the teller had time to change the bag.

I limit my dumps to $1000 in a bag machine and $1250 in a bin machine.

I would not make a bank that requires hand rolling a dump bank but that's just me.

There is no magic number, or correct way to handle every dump/buy bank. Every bank is different. I would say that the less you visit any particular bank, the less likely you are to get cut off.

I dump bags that contain $500 - $1000 in coins every day at the same branch.

If I'm dumping into coin machines, I have four branches within a 10-mile radius to choose from. So, once every four machine dumps. When I was dumping exclusively through coin machines, there was three days between dumping on the same branch.
