Questions...Banks & Brinks
When I went in to pick up my 2ND box today (SKUNKED) there was a new teller whom by her tone and demeanor I assumed was either the branch manager or head teller. She asked me what I was looking for...Silver or Specific dates? I told her both. She then went on to tell me I was pretty much wasting my time because all of the coins they turn into brinks get rerolled and delivered right back to her so essentially I was getting back what I turned in. She also told me another guy was doing the same thing and she just wanted me to know I was getting the same coins back and she didn't want me to be spinning my wheels...or wasting my time without full knowledge of the fact.
At first I thought maybe she didn't want me coming to the bank for this anymore, but then she said it was ok, but...$500 sits in her vault for awhile until they get $1000 to fill the bag so they can send it out. So I asked her what is easiest for you and the bank...she said $1000 worth of halves vs $500 at a time. This is no problem for me and I said ok...lets do it. Her attitude changed a little and she seemed glad I agreed to the $1k worth.
So now my question...
We turn our coins into the bank in canvas bags. She sends them out to Brinks the same way and in return orders us boxes of halves which are rolled. So...is it feasible that I am getting the same coins or is there so many banks doing this it is not a practical thought? Some of you long timers chime in please...thanks.
