Well, the silver take really varies. I can go months without seeing any, then I will see a bunch. I once found almost $10 face in one machine (someone was in dads stash!). There really is no pattern, I have just learned to watch for them. Some of the properties are very close to the Canadian border, so Canadian coins can sometimes be common. They still get my heart beating because my first thought is "Silver!!" I have found some silver Canadians. I have never found any obsolete quarters. but I do get an occasional Merc, or Buffalo in the soda machines. As for Banks, I never have a problem with them. We use a local bank near every property. If you do the math on the 250 unit complex, this is what you get..........250 units @ $645 per unit ( I am using the lowest rent amount....some are $750) you get $161,250 minimum in monthly deposits (assuming your at 100% occupancy & everyone paid) . With deposits like that, they give you no BS. The only bank problem I have had was recently at my personal bank , and I put a stop to that right away (this was a different branch of the same bank I used in the above example).Now that they are aware that I am married to the person who decides which bank is going to be used, they are quite friendly to say the least. Normally what I do is drop off the quarters from each property at that properties bank, and they send them out to be counted and then deposited. There are a few properties that are in small towns with no banks, so those quarters get hauled to the next property because that's usually where their bank is located anyways. So, to answer your question, they do not all go to one bank. Sometimes I will have just too much stuff scheduled, and I will skip trips to the banks, and just collect quarters, this is when I end up with a massive load of quarters. I try to avoid this whenever possible because it just creates more work for me in the end. I hope all of this made sense.
My wife is surprised that I have started roll searching too. What can I say? I am a coin junkie!! As you can imagine, I NEVER search quarters. I tried a little at first, but quickly realized that it was a waste of my time, and honestly, I get sick of looking at them. I do dimes, nickels & pennies with my kids on the weekends ( they love it, and I love the time with them) My real addiction is with the halves........quick, easy, and a good payout......what more could you ask for? I can't wait to go back up to Canada on vacation (Banff and Edmonton) in the fall, and do some roll searching there. I am really not into buying coins , I just think that finding them in rolls, or digging them up gives them much more meaning.
