Had to wait in line at the ZincArcade today

Seems a fellow coin hoarder decided to dump his dimes during my usual Sat morning run. Of all the nerve! :lol:

There was no professional jealousy though, since he is all Ag and I'm Cu. We had a pleasant chat, and commiserated over the current lack of reliable supply and what not. I can only imagine what was going through the branch manager's mind, as she could hear every word that was said.

That is too funny.

I went to a new "known" dump bank today for the first time and 2 machines were nice because I filled the first one up and just finished on the second one while the clerk emptied the first one. Then I waited in line FOREVER... What a busy Staurday bank that was... :)

Guys....gotta stay under the RADAR! The last thing you want to do is lose your dump bank. The more attention you draw to yourself, the more chances that some bank employee might use you to take out his/her frustrations on. I dumped about $100 once...once...and had the whole freakin' branch talking and asking me questions...not no more...2 box/1 bag sort limit per branch when I do a dump. I average 28% so that makes my dumps roughly $36 at a time. Back under the radar to where I wanna be.

Normally I'd agree, but this dude was dumping major amounts of dimes, multiple trips to the car. And, they had the Arcade unlocked & opened for him so he could change his own filled counted coin bags...so my guess was they knew what he was doing. They're cool at that branch. They know I'm hoarding copper.

Still.... gotta agree with TJCF. Eventually, everybody and their brothers starting to sort/hoard is gonna close a lot of doors to us.

Man, I wish I could average $36 dumps. I keep it under $1000 in cents. That's a lot of $36 trips, hehe. When I bring in less than $500 they ask questions. Like, "That's it?", "You're slacking on us!", or "What happened, you quitting on us?"

But, discussing you business (Morsecode) for all to hear is risky. Next time, have lunch....
