The head teller at the bank where I normally get a box of pennies a week called my wife yesterday. She said she got a call from another bank customer asking how many pennies they could cash in at one time. The teller called here & said that the person just retired and had been collecting pennies since 1963 & he had $700 worth. My wife told the teller that we would take them all. I cannot wait to get my hands on them. Hopefully the person was just a hoarder & not a collector.

Why would being a collector be bad? Collector's have way better stuff! BU coins, numismatic ones, etc. Worth way more than 3 cents each

I meant that he kept the good stuff (numismatically speaking) and was just dumping what was left which would include a lot of copper and is not really that bad.

Ah, yes, that makes sense.

Win Win for both of you. The bank didn't want them cluttering up the vault for a week, and you got a potentially rich vein to mine.

Nice of them to give you the heads up. Must train my tellers better.

My girlfriend just came home from work at walmart. My branch bank at the store told her they would have over a hundred tomorrow for me. They just have to finish unrolling them. I luv this place.

unrolling? you have a bank that will unroll? life is good

Probably for a bag, they do that with CWR's

I wish i could get the bank to do that for me :/

So what happened with this? I may just be a skeptic, but doesn't this kindof sound like a line a RC member would give a new dump bank?

"Hi, I have a lot of coins that I've been collecting for "X" years, and now I want to *dump* i mean return them to your bank. How many could i *dump* i mean return to your branch?"

I think i'm just a little jealous. Nice find, and I hope they aren't presorted...

Unfortunately, I have yet to get the pennies. The party has not brought them to the bank yet. I just hope that the teller did not spook them away by saying that she knew someone who collects pennies & will take them all. Sometimes she says things that aren't too bright.

How far western mass are you?

Next step west is New York

I'm on the other end of the state. I think there's enough banks to share

I would say so. I also get some in RI & VT when I am there.
