I happened to be at a bank branch in another town CRHing and dumping the other day, and the teller was near giddy about buying my half dollars.
"We need to call Ginger right away. She is going to be thrilled to hear that we have some half dollars" he said to another teller. I asked him what he was talking about, and he told me about a "customer that buys every half dollar that comes in the door. She is going to think this is awesome. I guarantee these will be gone by tomorrow afternoon."
Well, I got to thinking about it, and I'd like for Ginger to have as many halves as I can get her. Heck, I've got a whole box worth sitting on my kitchen table right now. I'm a kind hearted soul, and there is no reason that I should be hogging up $500 worth of half dollars, all dated 1971 to present, all for myself.
Here is the rub:
This bank does not have a coin counter anywhere in the bank. They do NOT accept any form of rolled coin, even though I once conned another branch into buying two Brinks wrapped rolls of dimes.
So, my wife and I had to stand and count out $150 worth of halves and the young teller had to double check our work. It seemed to take forever.
If I rolled these coins, this bank will insist on unrolling them, and counting them again.
If I could count these out into $10 stacks before I went to the bank, it sure would save a bunch of time.
Does anyone have ideas for what I could put these coins in to carry to the bank? I'm thinking that if I had the right container or tray, I could carry them into the bank, pull them out of the container by the stack, and set them on the counter.
Ideas anyone
?
I know this sounds crazy, having to recount all those halves, but dumping here is really difficult.
Besides, it is awfully greedy of me to keep these wonderful and rare coins from Ginger.
