Saving in my bank account and getting rid of those impossible beach incrusted coins.

[Lizard-Prince]

Hi, my friendly hunter ever since I started my extravagant hobby with my White's Coin Master 5000 series 2 in 1982 for the first 2 years was the best. The problem began when I ventured to try the beaches of course cleaning coins from mud and soil was a snap. until today that only recently I got the coin tumbler involved. Now 42 years later do I agree the dilemma has yet to find an almost fair solution. Now I part with the finds of my 11 detectors and how I seek a friendly way to make my local bank "Banco Popular" in Puerto Rico continues to tie boundaries with me and accepting my hobby's nightmare beach coins. The questions being the following:
1- Can a bank that is part of the treasury's follow up return and get credit for crusty zinc's unable to be wrapped in coin rolls because of the coral encrustation?
I have managed to part so far with dimes, nickels and quarters I called the treasury about this and was not taken seriously. I promise my bank to wrap my recovered coins "Zink's" in coin rolls but mark these rolls the damaged ones with a red magic marker that way they would not give those to bank customer's and have the treasury reimburse them.
2- Can bagged coins "Example $50 in corroded zincs" be credited to my account if there was a way to proof that amount and not be turned down?
And finally: 3- Who other than my bank can I go to for this issue? I know there must be a legal and formidable friendly Rought in the treasury to help a motor coordinated handicap treasure hunter to for fill his dream to recover the cost of my TH'ing hobby one zinc at a time.
Thanks for the positive feedback on this very meaningful issue on this thread!

I am afraid you are SOL with the US Treasury and that flows downhill to the banks. It used to be that Federal Reserve banks were required to reimburse for damaged coins, but they no longer do this since it costs more to make each coin than the face value. I even made a trip to a Federal Reserve Bank and was declined there in person. I clean all my coins in a tumbler and take the ones that have minimal damage to a coin sorter at the bank. If they go thru the sorter (without reject), I get paid for them. I currently have a peanut butter jar full of zincs with pits and missing bits that won't go thru a sorter. I am hanging on to them in the hopes of finding someway to obtain a return on them.

a coin must be identifiable to be accepted at a bank.
