I have this plan but wanted to know some thoughts on whether it seems efficient enough. I know I'll probably get some responses of "whatever works for you"
But anyhow I have my original bank from when I grew up still(no location within reason to where I live, so only go there when I go to visit home, even though it's only 20 minutes away. A credit union where I live and a few Bank of Americas where I pick up boxes cause they don't require you to have an account.

My plan is to pick up boxes at B of A, dump at my hometown bank cause they take rolls and possibly pick up at my credit union. Also might dump there since they have a free sorter to use. That's in case I ever get bogged down with coins and don't have the time to roll them or can't make a trip to my other bank to dump rolls. I might even want to pick up at my hometown bank since it's not a national chain or anything so maybe some CWR or some old stuff dropped off by someone, never know. To ensure I don't search anything I dropped there I am marking my rolls so I know they were mine.

Sound like a plan or do plans really never work and I should just do whatever works out best. I probably could care less if I searched something twice but will try to avoid that at all odds.

Think I'm going to use BofA as my pickup spot as there are plenty of them. And use my credit union to dump cause they have a coin machine and it's free for members. Will save me alot of hassle of rolling coins. And maybe I'll find something good in the reject slot from a previous user. Might even pickup at the other bank I use where I dump my change that is rolled from my change jar. CAuse it's a smaller bank so maybe can get something good if an old timer brings in coins. Now onto finish going thru the nickels I got. Have to roll half of them and then gonna dump the rest in the coin machine. I'm paranoid that these machines will short me when I know how much should be there lol. It's not like a random jar of change, but I bet even if I was dumping a jar of change I'd count it before I did it.


Food for thought... One of the banks I pick up from is BofA. When I go to the branches (4000x3branches) they all know about it. The armored car service in this case Brinks has all my 12K in the same truck. My going to 3 branches is more of a insurance of not taking up too much space at one bank. When I'm dumping it's the same way. The Garda guy has told one branch " oh you have Halfs... I just picked up 4k of the same for another branch. At some point there is a cluster**** and it's at the armored delivery. Unless your making a point of going to different cities and different routes (bank routes, which none of us know, for good reason) you are going to be "seen" you can't hide large deposits or withdrawals. This also applies to the actual hunting... When I "find" silver from BofA as far as my log is concerned it's not a particular branch, it's the BANK and city. I have been doing this a long time and I can't stress enough... I get my dumps back all the time but it's always being mixed up, which means to me that there is a new opportunity to find silver. I stopped tracking my dumps long ago. Who cares if it comes back and how quickly. A sort is a sort. I find other hunters marks all the time with silver so either they are missing it or it's new stuff mixed. Sorry I went on a rant.
Pick ups and dumps should (in my opinion) be at different banks. You may be able to get away with dumping at another branch of the same bank but I wouldn't let that be the biggest percentage of your dumps.
