Weird dump experience

[n8dagr8345]

I was dumping my load of halves at one of my dump banks. Its a branch I have only been to 2 previous times because they always have trouble with the coin machine(they are not familiar with it, and I always have to walk them through the errors(like bin 4 overflow)). However, today was an odd day.

When I finished counting my 1600 in half coins. I brought them the receipt. They asked if I had an account and I gave them the important info for the account. They then told me they needed a copy of my drivers license. I gave it to them, and inquired why. They told me it was company policy to get an ID copy for all large coin deposits. It seemed weird to me, as they have a copy of my ID on file for my account anyways...
Any thoughts?
Do you think they may be filling out a suspicious activity report?
Thanks

Maybe, you weren't lying to them as to why you have so many half dollars were you?

 

[n8dagr8345]

Nope, I openly told them I am a collector and go through lots of half dollars.

Ive recently had a similar experience as well. Same branch, 3 different locations, they asked for my DL when on my previous dumps they have not asked for it at all

I understand Im a shady lookin dude thats either rich or a scammer...but I didnt ask why. Guess I shouldnt joke around about laundering money when Im dumping $1000's weekly. jk

Yep,
Expect a visit from the FBI. Just tell them you are a collector and search boxes of coins.

They do the same here, and when I dump at differnent location (same bank) I am asked if I had made stops else where. I tell them that I have, just spreading the LOVE. Just keep them smiling and all will be good!

Ive had this happen a few times at Bank of the West even though I have an account there Never happened at any other bank I have an account at. Ive also pissed off a number of b**** managers there with dime dumps

Yep, I get this randomly. I dont mind, they already have a scan of my DL at my CU. Why, I dont know but I have told when they ask that I collect and buy coins in bulk. Seems to work for them.

Just be sure to wear clean underwear so that you are not embarrassed during the body cavity search!

Don't be to sure about that. Search for GoldenCoin and posts. He was visited by NCIS (NO JOKE - He is in the Navy) and the FBI at the same time.

Never lie about your coins when asked. Especially the young and overzealous tellers. Either she will report to the manager or is asked to do the asking for the manager. I've asked by a manager herself and many tellers. I always tell them that I am a coin collector and buy coins in bulk at other banks. After all, it is odd to see so many halves for a young teller or any non-collector.

n8,

Being in Northern VA makes a visit from the government a walk around the block.

Good luck with this, hope they don't come knocking up.

Don't let them slow you down either.

HH!

p.s. When I was dumping at a TD bank i do not frequent at, the woman teller told me that some lady comes to the branch every other day and dumps $2,000-$3,000 in halves. She's thinking the woman who does this volume is up to some illegal activity. This is when I tried explaining that some people are hardcore about this hobby, as she knows about silver halves. (even the 40%ers)... the banker told ME the spot prices for half dollars when dumping.
