I went to my newest dump bank this morning to get rid of yesterday's box of halves. Unfortunately, I jammed the machine.
When the teller opened the machine, she started putting all of my halves back in my bag. I asked about the loose change lying around the outside of the coin shoot but inside the machine. She said sometime a few coins will get lost. I know my count has been off a few times. Then, she said, "might as well put the loose coins in your bag."
As she cleaned the machine, she was taking coins out of the shoot past the sensor and putting those back in my bag too. She didn't know that these coins had already been counted!!!
After a good cleaning, I loaded my halves back into the machine AND it jammed immediately.
By this time the manager came over to lend a hand. He decided the coin box was full and needed to be changed.
I often wondered why I never filled a bag at this bank. Now I know. All coins are just dumped into a large sealed box. This thing looks like a miniature version of the baggage wagons the airlines use to take bags to the planes.
I figure this is great! No muss no fuss. I stopped using my last dump bank because everytime I brought a box in to dump. I had to call a teller over to put on a new bag. It got to the point that the tellers were being so bothered by people that they usually keep an out of order sign on the coin sorter.
So, if you can, find a coin counter that empties into a large storage container rather than the bags. It will keep you under the tellers radar, and make for better bank relations.
So, when I cashed in, I got an extra $12.00 to $13.00.
I know I will be giving this dump bank a lot of business in the future.
