King Searchers please don't screw it up for everyone else & yourself!!

I went to dump a box of dimes today at a bank out here.. the girl there told me they had someone dump $1000 in pennies last week. They used to be ok with me dumping a box of dimes a week. Now they don't care if I never opened the plastic wrapped coins that I'm dumping. They said they would have to ship it off to be counted and I get credited later and charged with a fee like Coinstar. That just infuriated me. Some dumba$$ king penny searcher screw it up for everyone else including themselves. Who wants to pay commission to dump pennies or dimes? If I was a king penny searcher, I would spread it around and not dump at one site. This caused the place to change their policy. People naturally get overburdened with dumps that they don't want to accept them anymore from other people. C'mon the most I've ever dumped in pennies was $25 and they were rolled. Half dollars I understand since there's no real other ways to get rid of them other than spending them and they're not as annoying as pennies. Spend your dumps people!!!

Hey, I'm always accurate with my dumps via weighing rolls before dumping or spending. Maybe, I'm just really angry right now writing this and I need to calm down but common sense is needed. I spend my penny dumps everywhere I go. Obviously if I tried to use all pennies to pay for a full tank of gas, people wouldn't accept it or won't do it in the future. I spend pennies couple bucks here and there on my way to dump or pickup. I go to a couple different gas stations to spend pennies on my way to pick up or dump. I use them at Costco when I buy and everyplace I buy. Common sense, don't get people at these banks annoyed and they will make things harder for you. That's my 2 cents worth.

I know that you guys are out there and you read this and who ever the penny searcher in my area is, spread it around. Don't dump huge hoards at one place and so the whole bank changes their policy on dumps. Dumps just end up back in your order boxes anyhow.

On a side note. This is the same thing as those who sell on Ebay, I can't believe how many people are dumb on Ebay and flood the market. If you flood the market with the same item, it will give the appearance of high inventories and lower prices. If you do lower number of auctions of the same thing, your items will sell for more than if there was a ton of them out there. Simple economics, supply and demand. The appearance of excess supply lowers prices. Guess some sellers out there never took Economics 101.

I just like to hear people's thoughts on this.

I have found that some tellers get annoyed when dumping halves, but other tellers are happy to accept them. What I do now is dump at the banks that make the tellers happy and call ahead to see if they are there. You always want to be on the good side so you can get the first phone call when some elderly person deposits rolls of halves and you want to be the first person on the list to get a phone call from the teller.

Hey folks
Trying not to get off the original post but it has mentioned this about "having to take coins"
When you walk into a store or bank or restaurant you are actually walking into a privately
owned business.
They are not public property but privately owned. Therefore, we can ask anyone to leave at anytime for any reason. And, we can also say what we will or will not except for payment.
A lot of people think that we have to except anything that anyone wants to do,but it is like going into a persons home.
They set the rules and we must follow them or be asked to leave.
As for the original post I also agree that this guy really messed it up for you folks.
Remember one thing though :)
If, you have $$ in the bank and you are active with your account the bank is much more willing to work with you. If, you have like $50 or less in an account and never use it then
when you need to have the bank work with you they tend to look at what is best for them.
So, use your account. Keep some $$ in it,and you will be surprised how nice they can be.

I have the most activity with this bank. All my electronic payments have been run through this bank and I have most of my funds in cash other than coin with this bank.

I am in mid-peninsula.. Palo Alto area. I dumped at a BofA today.. and they had this policy reversal because of this guy. I had no problems dumping a box of dimes a week there until today. This guy screwed it up for everyone. It is true that it is up the bank's discretion whether they accept your dumps as rolled or loose. If loose, they charge a CoinStar fee but they can consider your rolled up ones as loose too if they want. They accepted my unopened dime dumps as a favor until today. This is how to get rid of those dumpers like that douche b@g that did this. Now I'm paying the price for his incompetance. I want to find out this guy, where he lives, what banks he goes to, and dump a few rolls of zincolns with "copper", or 1970's written on the side to his favorite bank. I'm planning to speak to a manager about this next week.

Tom,

You may want to start getting your halves from BofA. I found a substantial (1 box yielded more coins than what I normally find in 1 month of hunting) amount of 40% halves today and there were a bunch of your marked coins. I even found one dated 10/10 on the back. Hope this helps and gets you back on the silver train.

Yeah I was wrong, they CAN kick you out for demanding they accept $2 in penny rolls.
Well, if they don't want my hard earned money, than they wil lose more than one customer.
Thanks for the information about the actuall law. I'm going to open up an icecream sammich shop and only accept unopened shotgun rools, loose pre 1982's by the pound, and silver halves. For the ultimate burger and fries just one 40% WIH A BEER is two shotgun coppers extra! Monday's only before 6pm!
