CWR is the best for us.

Loomis, so far, seems to average 10-14 wheats per box. Not a lot, but better than the others in my experience. Can't get CWR around here as far as I know. A very few places have BWR, but they aren't all that productive of wheats.

My $50 bags which are taken directly off the lobby counters are usually okay for wheats. I had one with over 1,200 in it! Average is maybe 20-30 per bag, often up to 50? I don't keep exact counts.

Loomis boxes are really more compact that Brinks. But the problem that I have is that the only bank that I know that has Loomis boxis is my dump bank, and I don't want to upset them. So I don't pick up Loomis boxes. However, if I know of another bank that had Loomis boxes I'd be sure to pick them up there.
Don't look back. Something may be gaining on you.

Neither a penny or a nickel is worth face value anymore.

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger.
