Carrying coin order

How do most of you guys carry your coin orders out of the bank? Bag, dolly,...?

I've been able to carry all of my orders out in hand so far. I'm a bigger guy who works out regularly though so it's not a terrible burden on me. I'd gladly get to the point where my orders weigh too much to carry anymore, still working on the banks to expand my volume.

Well, I normally carry 2 boxes of halves and 2 pennies in one trip. However when I pick up 4 or more boxes of halves I just make a few trips to the car. I thought about getting a two wheeler or cart but, haven't found a good one FREE... lol

Hand Truck - the guard walks with me out to the truck and helps me load them.
If you are waiting for the "correction" to buy you need to realize that the increasing prices ARE the correction.

Up to 4 boxes of halves/dimes, I got it. After that, two trips are needed.
I once ordered 20 boxes of pennies. My credit union had a plastic wheelbarrow that I could use! :)

I usually don't carry out more than $200 in pennies in my tote bags. Sometimes it is a bit more.. when they have rolls of other denominations. If it looks to be a significant amount I just go get the dolly out of the car.. it has a 660 pound capacity. :mrgreen:
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more

When picking up CWRs, I use a canvas bag. When picking up large orders of boxes (i.e. 6+), I have a collapsible hand-cart (that stays in the back of my car for such occassions).

When transporting boxed coin from the bank to my truck, I use the two wheeler from B o A and I have a folding two wheel dolly that I use elsewhere...I have done sixteen boxes using the larger two wheeler. Although not really necessary for pennies but very necessary for halves is a PPS in my waistband under my shirt.

For my bag pickups...its up to two bags in each hand and a smile as I walk out. Once I had to use the CU's cart for nine bags and a really big smile.

I've carried 6 boxes of halves at once to the car, done this many times and it is fun to watch the tellers who struggle to pick up one freak out about it. I will also tuck 5 boxes of dimes under one arm and go back for the other 5. Being a former competitive power lifter has its advantages in coin collecting as well ;)

I pick up only on Tuesday's and get between 8 and 16 boxes of pennies, if I get 8, I put four in each hand and make 1 trip. If i get 16 I make 2 trips. Sometimes it pays to be 6'5" and 275.

Blackout, yeah the tellers at my bank think I am crazy, most of them can't even pick up two boxes at a time, pretty sad when they weigh 125+ and can't lift 25-30 lbs.

I am only 165 pounds and not a competitive power lifter, but I easily lug 6 boxes at a time out to my truck. More than that, and it is just awkward not necessarily too heavy. My arms are not long enough to tuck 4 boxes under. :| Bags I'll grab 2 in each hand and the tellers often think I am nuts, but it's no sweat. I do lots of truly heavy lifting in the yard building stone walls and splitting wood so pennies are not really a problem. I'm also in my 30's so I have not started to deteriorate much yet. I'll be a little weak old man soon enough I'm sure.

Yeah there is one teller at my bank she is small but she can easily pick up three boxes if not more, the rest of them have trouble with anymore than 1 box.

My niece is 6 and she can already pick up a bag of pennies and she only weighs 38 lbs, she is a green belt in BJJ and takes wrestling so that helps alot, but she is strong. You have to train them young :)
