Does anyone use this tactic?

Does anyone have the bank take down their name and number and call them whenever someone turns in halves? I've been calling around a lot and one bank actually said "let me take down your info and we'll call you if someone turns anything in." I don't even have an account there! Lol. I'm thinking about trying to get my name on as many banks "lists" as possible now. I turned in $170 in clad halves at my local branch and someone there said "better call so and so, he was asking for them." I said "normally I'm trying to collect them but these are extras" and they sort of laughed.
Also I've been having good luck finding large amounts of halves with a dump bank right next door. So I can go in with $200 and take $200 worth, then immediately dump them one block down...works great if I'm low on cash. I can easily go through $1000 or more in halves if they have them with little cash on hand. Too bad I've been coming up almost empty lately. Gone through probably $5k in halves and found maybe 5 40% coins total. Not giving up though!
