OUCH!!!....I saw a post a while ago about coin machines shorting counts...I posted a reply about how rarely it happens to me and sometimes its a couple of bucks and sometimes the error is in my favor plus all the reject chute finds I get...Well the machine hit me for 1875 dimes counted as PENNIES!!!!! :o.. When I saw my receipt my hair stood up :angry5:..So I went over to the attendant and told him about it he said" The machine is calibrate 3 times a day so I don't think it happened :mblah05: ...Give your name and number to the teller and we'll call you if theres a discrepancy" I said I highly doubt it :nono: and went to the teller and told her and the manager on duty came over :lurk: and told her as well.....In under a minute they were all over that machine (The attendant was a new guy I never saw).... I said check the bag of pennies right there and sure enough the bag ad a ton of my dimes in it...I was the first user since the calibration....The new guy was like " I never saw that before :mblah05: ...In my mind I was like yeah eat it noobie.... :violent1: I had a quick sit down with the manager who was very apologetic :dontknow: and asked me how much I thought I dumped I was like 350 or so and he looked at the receipt and was in agreement....So they took my name and phone# and said it'll take about 2 weeks to remedy...I go to this bank alot and they recognized me and gave me great treatment.....Even though I don't have an account there.The manager said the machine definitely made a mistake :sign12: so thats good there should be no disputing the claim. So right now I got 187.50 in coin roll hunting budget in limbo....I will post the result here in 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :happy1:

Man I sure hope it turns out in your favor! That would ba a major bummer if it didn't... Good luck!
 

I think it will..... The mistake was clear as day with all my dimes in the penny bag...They printed out a machine history I was the first and only person to use it after "calibration" they took the bag off put the history in it and sealed it while I was standing right there so I'm confident the issue will be remedied in my favor....I thought twice about posting this,But I feel even my lows should be put out there as well...I can say most of my experiences posted have been great and positive but the few bad ones should be shared with my extended Treasurenet family...There are so mny great people here ...I tell everyone I know about the great treasure vibe!!!

I had an issue this morning myself, only it was the receipt. I dumped $2987, and the 8 on the receipt looked like a 3- not to ME of course. We went back and forth a couple times but got it sorted out cause they didn't want ME to take the coin counter with me when I left.
There would have been some recounting of that penny bag goin on if it had been ME. Hope you can afford to wait. HH Mark
 

Dang that sux, glad you talked to the manager!!! :thumbsup:
 

Hey Silver,I was right there when they tagged the bag...It was full yet....They printed out the machine history and put it into the penny bag and sealed it up....There were 3 tellers and the bank manager there...I stood close by listening to the procedure they followed and what they said and did seemed to jive with how you could possibly handle the situation...I called a banker friend and she said that seemed to be the way to remedy the issue...Basically take what was put through the machine since calibration...since I was the first one...then take the count of pennies and add that up and minus out the dimes an viola theres my money!!
