I haven't tried it yet.
How will they want them?
How often will they let you drop them?
Any war stories and info on this range would be nice.
Thanks for the look.

Bank branches are like people. They are all different even if in the same family. I can do 300.00 a week at one branch, 3 bags of 100.00 per, go out to the car, get another 3 full bags of 100.00 each and dump across the street and do 1-200 more in 100.00 drops a week at another.
I have been cut off from a few branches, and have had one company change it's policy to no bulk coins from individuals, and REFUSAL to sell coins to individuals, only business'.

| You may have to try several branches until you find one that doesn't give you a hard time. I found one that will take $75 in pennies from me and not blink an eye. |

Will they give you back the bags?
How do you get bags?
Do they make you stand there and wait to count them to? |

Just ask if they take bagged coins for a deposit. They should give you the bags. They are heavy duty thick plastic with a self adhesive strip. There is info you write on the bag, name acct #. You deposit it just like cash.
I've found 2, 50 dollar penny bags is about the max per deposit without annoying the help. |

They give me my bags back or give me new ones. I recycle the bags I buy in. I do not stand there. I have a seat in the lobby and enjoy a complimentary cup of coffee, maybe a free cookie or two and read the paper.
The teller either calls my name or walks out and returns my wheeled luggage, receipt and cash where I am sitting, pleasantries are exchanged and see ya next week.
By the way that is Your Community Bank, and Mainsource both regionals. Community is my fav dump, I had BAD issues with a mainsource branch, and they really don't like to see me, and I am still cut off from their lobby machine, openly discriminated against, when they have a perfectly good Cummins Jetsort in the Lobby.
Like I said, Every branch is different. |

My dump bank just takes the bags from me and I walk out the door.
I think they have a coin processing service who picks them up.
When I make the deposits they always scribble a bunch of stuff on the bags with a sharpie
I've asked them if they ever come back with a total count. I was told "never". |

| There are a couple of kinds of bags, I have canvas bags that I use to pick up and drop off rolled coins. Then there plastic bags that come in different shapes and sizes. You return coins loose in those. They credit it to your account and adjust your account later if your count was off. Some banks will let you drop off a lot and some only $50. It depends on the staff and branch size. some smaller branches have limited space in their vault and might limit you, while other small branches will let you dump as much coin as you want to. Some might require it to be rolled while others require loose and still others that will take either. |

Kind of depends on how much they like you.. lol. And if you are lucky. For the Bank I dump bulk coins at I usually just take in 4 $50 bags at lunch time a few times a week. All my other banks require them to be rolled. Not a problem if you have an automatic rolling machine or 2, but certainly a hassle if you don't. They actually really like my machine rolled pennies, since they can give them out to their merchants directly and because they say corporate never orders them enough pennies to satisfy their merchant's needs. I usually dump $150-200 a day at one of my regular dump banks a few times a week.
For getting coins you just sort of have to feel out what they are willing to give you. Some banks give me all their CWR. They like that I take it and they don't have to ship. Standard penny order for me is 24 boxes. I use a cart when picking these up.  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

| we're a one bank town and I can do 2 bricks(100 rolls) every 3 days(Monday and thurs) with no hassel.anymore and i wouldn't have time to do my regular chores around here. If i opened an account in the surrounding towns, my profit would be used up just driving to banks and back. I pick them up in the sealed bank box and take them back in anything i can find so i can keep the bank box.the bank boxes are uniform and stack so nice. I always returned the zincs rolled. I also pick up a few rolls of Qs,Dimes and nickles at the same time, the nickels stay here thou. one teller did ask what i done with the nickels. |

Dumping is the most challenging part of this adventure. I have several banks that have coin machines in the lobby. I have to rotate the use of these wonderful machines. You don't want to overuse one and get called into the managers office and get cut off.
Ask around and see if you can find a bank that accepts loose. I have one that will accept 4 bags a week. I figure $200 a week is better than nothing and added them into my routine. The more options you have the better. Spreading your dumps around is even better. If you dump $1000.00 or more a week in zincs at one bank, you will probably get cut off sooner or later. |
You don't have to be the BEST you just have to be.......SLICK

Why? Who cares? You know the truth.
Topic:
I limit my dumps to under $1000 each time. I have an agreement with the bank. So the rest of the dumps get spread around, usually under $300 each to the Credit Unions. For the large dump I dolly in plastic stackable boxes filled with pennies, and a pouring cup. That is what they requested, so I have no problem with that. The smaller ones usually take place in the grocery store branches, so I just use a shopping cart.
Deal
p.s. I'm a member at all my banks/credit unions, and I maintain a balance in all accounts at every institution. And use plenty of chocolate bribes, or something else if a lady doesn't like chocolate. One of my ladies like green apple tea (yuck), so I always take her one. Grease the wheels.... |
Live free or die.
Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."
- Samuel Adams |

I maintain a polite demeanor no matter what the circumstances. I always thank bank employees who help me, especially at the dump machines. I maintain accounts at all the banks I frequent. (free checking)
We have free coin counters here and i bring in 1-5 drywall buckets at a time.
I am very visible. Bank managers take notice.
I rotate my dumps at as many branches as possible.
Make friends with the branches, learn names!
Small gifts can go a long way.
Never dump where you pick up.
Best of luck.
You are doing nothing wrong.

If we were worried about what people thought of us.. we probably wouldn't be hanging out in bank lobbies begging for rolls of pennies. |

I got to thank Kerr here for the sound word on the do's and don'ts.
The thing about different relationships with different banks is the truth.
Within the same system I have the complete opps.
One willing to part with no prob, another so not willing to the point it was 'no so nice' to say the least.
I think I ran into about $15 of Hoards rolled gold.
Thanks.
$13.50 made it back in those same wraps. |

| I take my scrap cents to CoinStar and take Itunes credit. I don't have to waste my time packaging them. Just pour them down the chute. It works for me. |

Why would you want to give 8% of your coin away to them?
Go find a bank with a coin counter that doesn't charge you.
I'm dumping at least $900 a week in the 5 in my area.
I really like the one that counts pennies as nickles dimes and even the occasional dollar...is a bonus plan that lets me charge the bank for my services. |
