How would a CRHing TV show be possible?

[mleblanc138]

How would they actually make it interesting to watch? And what would they call it? Coin Wars is a favorite of mine, as you can tell from my avatar. Too bad Coin Stars sounds too much like the machine. One poster I believe had an actual producer come up with Searching for Silver. Another poster thought of something that can only be described as Coin Hunter meets Crocodile Hunter which should just be called The Coin Hunter. His post was so funny I saved it and will now repost it as I'm pretty sure he removed it.

Here, we see Bob going into the bank. He cautiously moves into line, hoping to get a hold of the weakest,
youngest female teller behind the counter. Their lack of experience in the wild makes them an easy target.

OH CRIKEY! SHE IS STUCK WITH A 94 YEAR OLD WOMAN WHO IS ARGUING ABOUT A
2 CENT DIFFERENCE IN HER CHECKING ACCOUNT AND HER BALANCE SHEET!

What is Bob to do. If the line keeps moving he will be stuck with a grizzled old female teller. You see her
over there, with the 1000 yard stare, and the moustache. She is a known silver poacher. Truly the hunter's greatest enemy.

Bob looks behind him, and sees a person with a baby. Bob acts like the perfect gentleman and lets
her go first. The time comes. The lady with the baby goes to the mustachioed woman, and the 94 year old lady
is hobbling off. Bob strikes at the young teller with his charm.

He delivers his killing line: "Got any Halves". Did you see her flinch a little bit. I think, I think, wait

CRIKEY! THE 80 YEAR OLD WOMAN BEFORE HIM HAD DROPPED OFF 5 ROLLS! HIS HANDS
ARE SHAKING WITH THE EXCITEMENT OF THE KILL!

Bob runs back to the car, and tears into his latest catch. Only to find they are all clad.

The hunter has been defeated and returns to his den hungry yet again.

haha that'd be too much publicity. I think we need to keep this hobby as much a secret as possible so our odds don't dwindle when 10 million others enter a bank looking for half dollars

I have wondered too if there might be a crh'er reality tv show someday - but that sort of attention and publicity would bring a lot more competition and be bad news for those of us already in the hobby.

 

[FormerTeller]

It would be possible by having the producers "seed" rolls with exciting/huge finds. CRH's running into each other, rivalries showing, arguments with tellers over coins in the tray. After awhile, the reality shows become about the characters, rather than what it is they're doing.

When you posted this question, I wondered if you had heard that something was in the works. That one jacka$$ who posted about giving the idea to a reality show producer had his thread yanked; at least, I can't find it anymore, nor have I seen him posting lately. I wanted to strangle him!

IMO, any reality show about CRH will kill it for the rest of us.

Well first off you'd have to live in a town
where you can get all your Friends & Neighbors
involved.

They have to pretend they don't know you.

& Each week when you go in the Bank
you have to get in a Knock down Drag
out Fight over some Rolls with one of them.

It's best if they are 300 pounds & Wearing Night gowns,
Carrying a Jar of Shine, or if it's a 300
pound man with a womans Jogging Bra.

And maybe one week somone comes to your house
Kicks your door down, takes a chaisaw to
your shelves & your Wife who
is built like a Professional Wrestler,
wearing a Potatoe Sack,
throws him out for you.

Maybe one week get in a fight with a Midget & his 3
Bikini Clad Hot Daughters over who
gets to Check the coin return

Then you smile & Say "just another day
in a coinroll hunters Life"

Make 6 Episodes like this & Contact TruTV

Guaranteed they'll believe it happens this way,
& People watchiing on tv Will believe it too
& not start CR'hing for fear Psychos
will burn them out. & Cops wont come

You could even find a sidekick who looks & Acts
like when they were handing out brains,
He wanted the one marked "AbbyNormal"

For some reason it appears these shows are Multiplying
like Cockroaches

 

[fistfulladirt]

As much as we all love the hobby, this show would probably bore the 99% to tears.

 

[BuffaloBoy]

I do not think the banks would like camera crews inside their banks. This wouldn't work out.

 

[quiksilver]

Dont forget the part where the guy with the idea for the show is found crushed by bags of coins.....none of which are keepers

 

[dossier]

A tv show would kill our hobby.

We don't need the publicity for CHRing, I've been going to storage auctions long before it became the newest rage on TV, now units that I paid twenty bucks for are going for two hundred
