Dimes in the penny bag

[Dinero2005]

Picked up 5 bags from the CU today. First one I went through had $4.50 in dimes. I'm torn because the 8% instant gain is nice but the darn things chew up my sorter. I almost feel bad for the person that lost $4.05 in that machine.

Oh yeah. The best part is the head teller told me that she had 84 Eisenhower's in the vault that I could pick up tomorrow. I was kind of in shock so I hope I heard her right. "An 84?" I hope she's not mean enough to not tease me like that.

Dimes are usual but my last couple of bags had a quarter or two in there! My guess is some sort of overflow or unfroze jam or something like that.

Back in the day....those darn smashed/flattened pennies would always cause havic with the Ryedale,

I just ran a bag that had 5.25 in quarters! must have been a jam in the machine because this banks machine is usually spot on...

The 2 machines that I get my penny bags off of are pretty darn accurate. Always the correct amount of coins. I do average about 4-5 dimes per bag and they are usually slightly bent or squished in some way. As soon as I crack open a bag I dump it into my SC303. It only takes a minute and gives me piece of mind that I got the correct amount. Additionally, it filters out any dimes, bent cents, and other junk. I keep waiting for that "money bag" that is loaded with dimes. I just got this bag source about a month ago, so there is still plenty of time.

I run a good amount of dimes through my dump bank's counting machines. Usually, I come up short by 30c-80c or so when I dump $2000. Also, I get odd amounts back as if a few dimes were counted as pennies. I'm pretty sure some of the dimes that I'm short are going into the bank's penny bag. My loss is someone's gain. Since the banks I deal with have free counting machines for me, I look at it as a small fee to pay to get SILVER dimes.

Dimes are only an occasional surprise for me, but I work through rolls.

I picked up my 82Eisenhowers today. The nerve of her telling me there was 84 and getting my hopes up!

I was very grateful as you can imagine. It felt like she just handed me a $700 bill.

Congrats on the Eisenhowers... why a 700? I cant seem to get any premium for any I pick up,,,

Did you get 82 silver Eisenhowers or clad ones? Few Eisenhowers are 40% silver.

Diggin, clad Einsenhowers are popular with people that have a game room with a slot machine in their house. You can sometimes get a 25-30 cent premium per coin if they are desperate

Today's bag came with a small key....now that would do some serious jamming!

They're clad. After checking coinflation.com I figured out that there were clad ones. Now I have to figure out what to do with them? Oh well. Nothing lost/nothing gained...
