I have not found any silver in 4 weeks. The first week the 2 boxes looked like they had been dropped and were broken on the one end. For three weeks now I have gotten 2 boxes a week that were both completly open on one end or taped back up. I called and told the teller if the boxes are open this week I don't want them and to not accept them for me from the truck. She says that is how they are coming. This last box clearly looked as if every roll had been openned and then just rerolled. I guess it is time to try a new bank for pickups.

Found this Merc ender in a dime box today. Sorry I only have the scanner.

Carriers do not search the coins. They don't own them,they don't search them.

Well someone is openning one end of the box and unrolling each roll for four weeks now. The old lady teller at the bank tells me that is how she got them, already openned. Someone is IMO.

I'd place my bet on the tellers.
 
Just got an email from the Feds saying that Loomis, Brinks, and Garda's employees are searching coin rolls!!
This hobby is coming to the END, might as well just quit , and go Metal Detecting.

At one branch my boxes were open every week, and the reraps were looking more carelessly done each week. Well this last week I told the teller I need to have them sealed when I pick them up, well waht do ya know, both boxes produced, the only boxes I've ever got from there that produced. HMMMMMMMM

I'm going to throw out there that maybe some armored car guys are opening rolls. I have no doubt that you are correct in that it is corporate policy that carriers may not search the coins, but I would not be surprised at all if it turned out that some $10/hour armored car guard is supplementing his income (against policy but perhaps not illegal) during his free time.

*ducks head*
 
After eight boxes, all open, I'm pretty sure someone is going through them. I just need to get it stopped one way or the other.

The Merc ender was a 1920D and I found a 1943 inside, all I found in the box. At least it was a sealed box.
 
Next time you pull behind a Garda or brinks truck and they open the rear door you'll notice boxed coins are in a very small space compartment almost imposable for a driver or carrier to touch these box's. from the inside. I say open the box in front of the teller if you think they have been tampered with call the manager.

It's not like they're a box of donuts and someone has tampered with the food. It's a box of coin...as long as the count is correct, what they gonna do? Check for counterfeits?
 
I think the easiest answer is to just try another bank. If its the tellers, you can just try a different branch. If its the carrier than try a different carrier. It is not hard to find banks willing to order. I know I am in a well populated area, but I have a list of over 10 banks that are willing to order for me without any problem all on my normal daily route. This list could easily be tripled.

If you don't like something, I am a strong believer that YOU need to change it...

I agree N8, I need to take care of this which I think I have.

I'm going to try to get it corrected at the bank first. They have been my best pickup bank, the tellers are all nice, I'm the only one they take care of with coins, and they order extra for me and don't care if I pick them up all on the same day, the VT tries to have enough for me anytime all week. I have never found more than a few coins at a time but there was usually something.

I told the teller not to accept any more open boxes from the carrier for me and she said would see what she could do. She also said she was going to call the main Vault Teller up in Tampa and report the incident because I was short a couple of halfs in one of the boxes and I told her about that. I have a couple other pickup banks that I use but this one has been my best so I'd like to try to fix the problem if possible.
