So I was at my dump bank today unloaded $3,000 in halves. I come into this bank at least once a week. The coin machine is in the lobby and I take my receipt to the teller and he says, "whoa, that is a lot of halves, what do you do with them?" I gave the usual coin collecting answer. He then proceeds to recount a story to me I wish he hadn't. He says about a week and a half ago an old lady came in trying to dump coins into the coin machine that kept getting rejected and she brought them to him. He told me the lady had "hundreds of dollars in silver coins" and it was annoying because he had to count them at his desk, which took "forever." I was like "WHAAAT? Like a hundred?" and he said, "no like hundreds... it took forever to count." and I say, "what did you do with it all, did you buy it yourself?" and he says, "well I had it here at the bank for a little while until one of the other tellers called a member who asked to be called when old coins come in." Then I ask him what kinds of coins were they... and he replied dollars, halves, dimes, just everything. Apparently her husband died and she wanted to get rid of them. At this point I'm about going nuts, I am in that cursed bank all the time! And there was $100's of dollars in silver coins waiting for my while I dumped all my skunks!
My big mistake was not asking for half rolls. I always feel stupid asking for half rolls after I dump so much on them, and when I do ask they just say "no we never have rolls, members dump the coins in the coin sorter."
This one will eat at my brain for a long time.
