$1250fv sorting sure went quick using the MAXX

Well I just passed my first batch through my new MAXX. :mrgreen: Thought for sure this would take me until Saturday to finish. Took Tues/Wed night to break the plastic rolls and sort, then looked through the 5 gallon bucket of copper for the wheats tonight. :D

well, I didn't keep the stat... but next week I'll pickup another grand and I'll crank it up and see.
I think on the video's Andy did he gave that spec. I know when you turn it up the pennies seem to run together. Also I already sent in my older unit for an upgrade. Guess I should have run them side by side but from what I see I can say I'm happy with it.

can you PLEASE tell me how long it took to get 1k face value, ordered it? sometimes I get lucky and my CU will have $40 on hand, but I usually can only get $20 per branch each weekend. I do 3 branches( out of 15) every saturday. TY!!

Order boxes from the bank or find a bank with a coin counter that'll let you buy bags.

Yep.. I just ordered it from the bank. (2 branches). The most my branches can handle at once is $400fv. I picked up on Friday and Monday. It's easy, just go in and ask the vault teller how many boxes she/he can store at one time. They won't want that amount sitting around long and at my branches they get them in after hours so the next day I pick them up. I do the same thing with halves, dimes, nickels...

find a bank with a LOT of branches, and open an account. buy their bags of their machines like stated above, or you can get on good terms and have them order in bulk for you. it took me forever to find a bank to order in bulk for me. (they eventually cut me off) I ended up going to another bank with sorters at every branch, and they were more than happy to get rid of those pesky bags. ;)

I live out in the boonies, so I have to go about 2 hours to find a bank with a sorter. They won't sell the bags, but that's fine since I use the place as my dump.

reddirt-what banks are good to you down there? Arvest, Midfirst? I was just in the Edmond/OKC area visiting some family. I was tempted to stop at a few, but didn't hit up any banks while down there.
