Dump Bank(s) Tale of Woe

[blueberra]

I use one primary bank to dump my halves. It has an old, balky machine that it keeps in the safe deposit room. It sometimes has problems which take it off-line for a while.

Today was one of those times. When I asked when it would be back in business, the answer was disappointing : the motor was on its last legs and the bank did not know when or if it was going to be repaired.

So I went to a different bank that used to be my primary dump bank. It, too, had a dead coin machine and was waiting for a part.

So I'm stuck with $1,000 in halves with no place to dump them -- and I'm not about to roll them.

The second bank I mentioned has multiple branches with coin machines, but I don't know which ones (if any) will accept halves (the one I use to acquire my weekly box has such a machine).

A question for the experienced CRHers : how many banks do you utilize for dumping? Should I find another dump bank even if the primary bank fixes its machine?

For dump banks, I have 3 free checking accounts, each bank has 4+ branches. I spread between each branch and just take cash. Never had any issues.

I have 10 checking accounts at 10 different banks that have counters. There are approximately 13 or 14 counters, of course 6 are down right now. All within a 10 mile radius
