My dump bank has reopened their lobbies.......And I was able to find a box of dimes yesterday.....

Tuesday's box of dimes........skunk......

I'm hopeful that my pick up bank will be up and running next week. Until then, I'm going to try and find more domes to search.

It looks like Saabman may be on a roll again (pun intended) sometime very soon.

Ha! I always say: It's tough getting older. Your memory is the 2nd thing to go. Which causes the listener to ask: What's the first thing. Me: I can't remember.

Yeah, I know. It's a stale, old joke, but it cracks me (and apparently, only me) up every time.

Hey Saabman:

Did your bank run out of halves or are you going to a different bank now?

My normal pick up is still closed but they have another branch that is open. They will only order dimes (domes.....lol) for me right now. I still have my fingers crossed that my pick up will be open next week and I can start getting halves again.

Went the other day to my local bank to deposit a $2,400 check from the government.

While there I asked a couple tellers for halves. Got only $5 face, but that included (2) 40%ers.

Hi!

I was wondering on the boxes you check....how many are short in terms of missing coins? When I was searching quarters, I was backfilling about 0,75$/box.

Thanks.

The halves are generally spot on. The dimes are pretty close........maybe $0.20 - 0.30 off. But all in all if it's close, I'm good with it.
