The 5,000 Cent Search Today... :)
I bought two boxes of cents at one of my banks branches today. After
several hours of on again off again roll searching, I managed to navigate my way through the rolls the primary purpose to retire pre-1982 cents from circulation. In all I managed to retire 1,634 of them from circulation. I also made the following finds: Canada(I save only pre-1965's and the 1967 commems) George VI 1944 X 2 Elizabeth II 1955 1957 1959 1960 X 3 1961 1962 X 3 1963 X 3 1964 X 6 1967 X 3 For a total of 24 Canucks USA 1919-S !!! http://www.geocities.com/scottishmon...e/scan0004.jpg My second wheat cent in one week dated 1919, this is far better than the other one I got in change last Friday. 1934-D 1935 1942 X 2 1944 You know a roll is going to be good when you see this: http://www.geocities.com/scottishmon...e/DSC01031.JPG 1944-D 1945 1947-D 1950 1951-D 1952-D X 2 1953-D X 2 1955 1955-D X 2 1956-D 1957-D 1958 For a total of 23 wheat cents Other S-Mints 1969-S X 4 1970-S X 4 1971-S X 4 1972-S 1973-S X 4 1974-S X 4 For a total of 21 S-Mints, save the 1919-S. And then I took the remaining 3400 cents back to the bank. And that is when the fun began. They have a coin sorting and counting machine. I put the 3400 or so cents in there along with several dollars in accumulated change. Now mind you, several of the Zincolns were eaten away or corroded and were rejected. 6 of them to be exact. So when the machine was done counting I pulled them from the reject tray and handed them to the teller for redemption along with my receipt. She proceeded to tell me that they cannot accept mutilated coins, that they are not legal tender. My response was that it was interesting, they could dispense them when they sold me the rolls of coins, but could not take them back. She said I would have to prove it. I advised her that the coins were still legal tender, that they are obligated to redeem them and send them to the federal reserve. She then tore off and spoke with someone she said was a manager, whom she then indicated said to take them this time, but not in the future. I told her that perhaps I should do my bronze and wheat searches in the bank there, so that I can prove they dispense mutilated coins. She said that it would be impossible, they don't have mutilated coins. I then told her, I have to wonder in the nearly 10 yrs I have done business with their bank, that I have had nothing but wonderful service, including tellers that call me when rolls of Ike Dollars etc come in and they hold them for me, until today. I wonder if she would really like to pick a fight and have myself, and several people I know with large accounts close them? |

Sounds more like you were the petty one looking to pick a fight over 6 cents. Six cents is entirely trivial for either side to argue over. That said, how can a bank possibly not accept worn money? They are kind of in the business of dealing with money. By its nature, some money will be old and worn out. Banks are the primery channel through which coins and bills which are past their prime find their way back to the Fed. My guess is that there was a miscommunication somewhere in the chain of command at that branch. IF |

If it is wrong, one has good reason to dispute it.(maybe an obligation)
Of course there's always your pride. mk "Capri" wrote in message oups.com... Actually it sounds to me like you are the one witth the problem here. |
