Poll Question:
Ok, everyone keep this clean! 
What is the largest amount of coin a bank has allowed you to dump at one time?
I realize some of you dump loose coins in lobby machine while others of us bring in loose coin bags or even rolls.

$1250 in rolls - mostly Nickels with a few pennies. That's what a branch gets for telling me they must save their precious coin for "customers that need it". I helped them out with their coin shortage.

Is this poll for pennies only?
My largest dump (halves) was $2450 in one of my dump bank branches. |

Slick,
I try to keep my dumps (mostly halves) to no more than $2000/bank branch/month. You've got to find some more branches to dump your coins.  |

Maybe it should be by total weight or # of rolls rather than dollar value.. those half dollar dumps get the $ up there a lot faster than pennies.
My biggest in one trip to one bank was $1150.. All pennies.. 2300 rolls! This was right after I got my first automatic rolling machine and was starting to catch up a little. They made me promise to limit my dumps a bit at that branch after that. I spread my dumps out a lot better now.  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

I helped a forum member dump about $11k in quarters about a year ago at the lobby coin counters between 2 TCF branches. The first branch put me on probation for 2 weeks. If I ever caused them to have to change out the boxes because of my coin dumping, and I was still in the building, I would get charged the non customer rate of 8.9%. After that, and to this day, I am allowed to fill the machine no more than once a week or else... I was told those machines are for "normal" customers, not coin collectors.
Other than that, the most I ever dumped at one time was $1600, $1k in dimes and $600 in nickels.
As far as pennies, just a skosh under $200.

Pennies? Most ever was somewhere around $2500 at one branch at one time. That went over well.... Now I keep them to below $1000 per branch per day.

Heck, That was only about $3500 or so in halves. The rest was pennies.
Now I limit myself to $750 per bank in Pennies and $2000 in Halves.
They know my routine and are fine with this arrangement.
If I have more. I always ask before I start. |

Wow. Those are amazing amounts of cents. I am very small by comparison. My own rule is I only take in what I can carry in 2 hands, so usually around $20 or so. Even then I still feel "goofy" walking into the Credit Union with plastic containers filled with cents. (Must be my guilt complex kicking in!  )
Anyway, thanks for the perspective! Now I won't feel so strange about my tiny dumps!  |

565.00 in pennies topped off the Bin and some of the next one as well. That was shortly after I found my first free coin counting machine in a lobby. Had plenty saved up and ready for them :)

Rolling is no problem.. if you have the machines. Of course since there are no coin counters at any of my banks other than a CoinStar at my CU, pretty much all my dumps have to be rolled.
Investin Cents.. I often only dump what I can carry in 2 hands also. But when I do it there is a carrying bag in each hand and 4 boxes of pennies in each bag. |

Dropped off over $3k of zincolns in one day but was kind enough to share that between three branches.
I like wheeling my loaded cart in and looking at those innocent teller's faces then finding the branch managers face to contrast and compare. |
The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; second is war. Both bring a temporary (and false) prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunities. |

| Yeah, you are flirting with disaster when you press the envelope. I dumped $3000 in pennies at one branch in a week and they cut me off.. can't imagine why. |
