I know this is a common story but it doesn't make it any less frustrating...
After returning to one of my dump banks after a few years away, the half dollar bag filled up after just $45. When they pulled it off of the machine, some coins spilled out of a hole in the bag and I heard and saw some silver rolling around on the floor.
Naturally, with that amount of time on the bag and with how full it was I desperately wanted to buy that bag but the bank would NOT let me. It's something I will never understand. In my opinion it should be a simple swap, $1,000 for $1,000... why is it always such a problem?
Just mumblings about coin shortage, and we always ship these out to the fed, we couldn't guarantee there was exactly $1,000, normally won't do that for customers, etc. etc., but it would just be a deviation from the normal process that nobody could wrap their heads around. And these are the friendly tellers and managers I've been dealing with for years.
SO frustrating knowing there is a bag full of silver right under my nose and it's just going to be sent back out to the wild. With all of the effort ordering, picking up, and dumping boxes, to generally have very meager results, it stings watching it go to waste.
Has anyone ever had luck converting a stubborn bank that wouldn't let you buy a bag off of the machine? In my past experience, I've been exactly 0% successful.
