Whose money is it?

[Rich Hartford]

You go to the bank looking for halves and spot a dozen silvers in the tellers tray. She tells you that she does not have any halves, or she says she is keeping them for herself.
Who owns the money ?
A. The teller
B. The Bank
C. The Federal Reserve
D. None of the above

when it comes down to it i would have to say that it is the banks money and the teller is put in charge of it. the teller is the gate kepper, and decides which coins go out the gate. anyway that is how i have seen it happen. not worth making waves over a few coins and mess up your relationship with your supply or dump bank(s).

I agree 100%

The money belongs to "the people?" Next time you go to the bank, try grabbing a handful.....you will see which "people" the money belongs to.

As in "WE THE PEOPLE"

Ditto on "We the People", we're paying the 11.6 trillion dollar deficit (plus interest) for those coins....
But, you being provided a service by the bank - they don't "owe" you those coins.

If the teller wants to pull coins, fine - do it at the beginning of the shift and DO NOT leave them in the tray.
If you want them, buy the entire collection of loose coins. If they won't sell - I don't think I'd make a stink, I'd just scratch that teller off the donut list....

Actually, the $11.6 trillion figure is the national debt, not deficit. Either way, in my opinion it can ever be paid off, no matter how high they make taxes. It's a number that will just keep getting bigger and bigger.

If the teller has it showing it is the banks money has to be turned to the first person who buys it. Since in this situation im assuming the money was shown to the customer.....the customer has rights to buy it before anyone else...
