I sympathize with you- the BM was clearly being an idiot and a jerk to you. However, I think you made a mistake in stating so frankly that you sort halves from another bank. Perhaps you could've have twinged him a little, e.g.: "I've been saving these up but now I really need cash," or "This was my (or, my grandpa's) coin collection but I can't afford to keep it..." (the grandpa line might have actually got him excited about searching them himself!).
Bank employees are so hit and miss regarding collectors/ sorters, and I'm sure it's only going to get worse as more people catch on, so I'd caution everybody to do whatever it takes to stay on good terms with all bank people.
But again, the dude was a total jerk, so I'm not saying you're wrong in any way!
I see a potential problem with that though, if your wanting to make routine dumps at that same branch being upfront from the get go or after a few dumps might be the way to go. I rarely get questioned and when I do I usually say oh I'm just doing this on my off time when I get bored...The kids love searching for the old one with me as well ect. If they have a problem with the volume your dumping, then you'll most likely hear about it anyways no matter what you come up with.
