Sgolembiewski0903 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Subject line - Letting the bank count my change for me.... Well.. I have the PERFECT SOLUTION!!!! I like coin hunting for silver. And today a bright light went off in my head: Within the week, I am going to get a BOAT LOAD of coins to sort through. Initially, the only thing that prevented me from doing so was the idea of re-rolling as much as I unravel... WELL: When I sort through all of my coins, I will know EXACTLY how much I have taken out. So, when I'm doing sorting my coins I am going to throw all the bad ones in a bag and drop them off at the bank. I will count how much I have taken out. I do believe, bank honesty will be truly tested here! I personally believe in bank honesty, but understand the contrary - especially with coins! This is a win-win as far as I'm concerned: 1) I will get to coin hunt without having to reroll (I MIGHT get crazy with this) 2) I will know if the bank is counting wrong!!!! If the counts turn out to be untrue... well... with a video camera and several miscounts I would say I have a multi-million dollar lawsuit (or probably just settlement) on my hands!!!

QuikVend Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I don't think there is as much dishonesty as much as the coin machines are inaccurate. At least if you count beforehand, you'll know what you should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgolembiewski0903 Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 I think that with today's technology, the banks 99% guaranteed have a machine that will not make an error! Like you said though, I'll know what I should have. Hopefully out of $2000 I have $10 in silver coins and 1990 to return!!! ..$10 in silver coins would be quite decent!Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flintflash Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Don't get too excited about a big lawsuit or even a settlement if they are off. It still comes down to your word against theirs and if their vault is counting your coins, they will be right regardless of what you may have verified previously. I had a issue with my bank many years ago when they kept reporting my deposits a couple dollars short and adjusting it. It was always in the coins. I had my coin counter maintenance and calibrated and we even started verifying our bags. We were 100% right. The bank claimed they were 100% accurate and said the error was with my machine. NOW...think about this logically. My machine would have to count coins TWICE to over-report, while their machine would have to miss coins to show a short fall. Hmmmmm....what is a sensor on a coin counter more likely to do? Regardless, I just started depositing FED Level bags that my armor carrier that picks up our money would verify and submit to the bank for approval. Imagine that....my deposits are exact once again. Gotta love those banks. Just my 2 cents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvus Corax Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I used to work for Brandt, they made commercial sorters, bill counters and the like.They made one that would do 10k coins a minute. More often than not, it was operator error. Not emptying bags all the way. Not clearing the tray. Stuff like that. Banks are supposed to count everything twice, the odds of it coming out wrong both times is huge. But that requires you to dump everything you just counted back in the machine to verify. Basically laziness or not really caring.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southeast Treats Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Even if you test the bank and all is well today, it does not mean that a teller tomorrow won't get greedy.... I have no issues with my bank but I count everything before it goes in, and my bank knows how accurate my deposits are; we rarely have differences. If you don't count your individual accounts, how do you track sales and collections, pay commissions, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that but you call the post a "dumb" post. Your response implies rudeness, which is what your initial comment was. I actually think the post has relevance to these forums. An earlier post of mine talked about letting the banks count your coins for vendors. Many expressed doubt. My post is about testing it. Heck, it's about an experiment that could benefit the vending community. Being a newbie I may be talking about something un-important to you, BUT it is a relevant topic. Updates to this post will actually benefit MANY newbies to come. Not dumb. ****Just collected 18 silver half dollars - I know EXACTLY how much the bank should tell me I have**** For all those who care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care personally if you do your little project or not. It's you're time. I was simply stating that there are probably many better ways to spend you're time (ie: a bigger, busier route) than getting caught up on the little things in life. But hey - each to their own. I would never delete a post even if I had the ability. Now please drop stop responding to me because I could care less about the pettiness. Work hard and succeed (as I previously stated).

Corvus Corax Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 So you got 18 silver dollars out of what 1000 dollar coins. That's a pretty good haul.

Magiccity726 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Get a plastic coin bag from the bank. Put $500 in quarters in it. Bring it to the bank but tell them you need it to be available today otherwise it won't be deposited in your account until it is verified in 7-10 days. Believe me, they will accurately count it.

EddieMac Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 None of the banks or credit unions in my area will accept rolled coin anymore. I have to use their coin counting machines. The credit union I use is ALWAYS inaccurate (well, except for twice it was correct). The bank I use is almost always accurate. Neither of the care at all when I tell them their machine counted my coins incorrectly. Usually it counts dimes as pennies. I NEVER have pennies so there should be a zero next to the pennies on the printout. That's not the case when the machine is wrong, but then again, they don't care. Most of the time they won't even acknowledge that I told them about the problem. I just quit using the credit union coin machine altogether. I only use the bank for coins.
