I tell them I build coin collections and sell them, Or I just say I sell the things on Ebay. and shake my head and say, yeah I guess a lot of people dont think you can get them from banks, but hey I will make the buck. They are happy to give em too me.
I also tell them we spend them, Witch is true, build coin collections, witch is also true.
They ask if I get silver, I say sometimes, but we sell them too. Most of the banks I deal with say they are happy to get them and give them to me so long as they dont see them back from me. if other people bring in what I have spent...thats the money flow.
I burn though at least a couple hundred dollars worth of halves a week.
Gas for a prius about $25 a week with all the driving for CHR Otherwise a tank of gas lasts me like 2 months LOL
Groceries, adds about $80 for the week.
baby things, diapers etc at another store about $50 a week
Lunches, about $35 a week.
Odd ball shopping and things, postage etc about $40 a week.
its a good Idea to get halves out there in your community as it keeps them from adding up in the fed. I find most clerks like them and buy them for them selves. If I can get 2 boxes a month absorbed locally this helps.
Also when people go to deposit them if the clerks dont buy them or give them as change. They end up filling a bag somewhere that may have a policy not to sell bags, some of them take years to add up, you never know when that $20 in halves you spend on gas or groceries is going to fill a bag, or maybe it will take a couple months to fill that bag, that may be loaded with silver. That will end up coming back too you in a fed box.
It ups the odds.
