Well, I knew it was inevitable. Charges for boxes are becoming more commonplace.
I noticed someone else dumping $3000 in halves each week. I dump my pennies only at this branch because it's convenient, I never dump the halves here, but I have been getting 3 boxes of halves from them each week. I asked and found out someone was dumping $3000 of halves every week to this bank where they got them from - that's a NO,NO (I see the bags of halves on the vault floor each week when I help the tellers dump my pennies). It doesn't surprise me that the bank is going to charge $5/box after this week. Of course, I said no more halves for me. I'll be looking for another source for my halves. One nice thing - No charge to bring them coins. I think I'll become their supplier.
