Well today when I was dumping some dimes and when I was cashing out I got stuck behind a roll hunter who asked for what I believe was a box of quarters and 2 boxes of dimes. When the teller asked him who the coins were for, he replied "for Wawa," and pointed to the hat he was wearing. The teller then asked for the business account number of the Wawa in which he replied, "I don't have the account number." Obviously by this time I am thinking to myself, ah.. the old I work at the wawa and need coins trick... Either way, the teller had to go speak to her supervisor, came back out and told the man that her supervisor will no longer allow him to pick up coinage for Wawa unless he has the business account number because he has been emptying their coin supply to the extent that they can not accommodate their other businesses. Hmm.. I guess Wawa goes through eight to ten boxes of coin a week ::)....The man made a huge issue of it, asked to speak to the supervisor and began to argue with her that he had never had a problem before and that "This was a bank, that should provide him with even exchange of coin regardless of whether he had an account number or not." Meanwhile I am running seriously late for work, and while i try to be patient because i know what it is like to go head to head with a teller, this guy just seriously pissed me off. If you are on here Mr. Wawa manager let me give you a tip. In this hobby, if you think that you are going to be supplied with massive amounts of coin weekly without an account, you are being simply ignorant.. There are very few business that go through that much coin in one week.. You couldn't have been more obvious than if you wore a huge sign on your head that said "I look for silver in coin boxes." Take the time, be honest and kind to the people and OPEN AN ACCOUNT.. they will most likely accommodate your needs even if you don't have a business account. One more thing.. To argue with that woman over that fact that she wouldn't sell you coins when she has absolutely no good reason to was just dumb and rude. Obviously you have milked the branch for all its worth.. Move on to another bank and this time do it the correct way and you won't get cut off.. Also thanks for making me 20 minutes late for work..

LOL.. It was just ridiculous man.. I almost wanted to break my under-cover and join her side in the argument.. I couldn't believe someone could complain so much when they didn't even have an account at the bank.. He made himself look like an idiot because he legitimately attempted to convince her that he didn't need an account number to get coins.. Like she just missed something and was going to say "Oh well i'm sorry I didn't know that.. Let me get your coins right now." She knew exactly what he was doing.. Don't get me wrong, I have ordered boxes from banks that I don't have an account with, but if they would ever tell me they cannot do it anymore, I would be completely understanding because they are simply losing a lot of money off of me.. Total Amateur..
 

I am soo glad I only work one or two boxes at a time. Because really there is no reason for a bank or credit union to cut me off. I am thinking about going into town monday and checking out some banks downtown. one is an old BoA next to our la senorita resturant, and there is a branch of my credit union I can take a peek at. If i am lucky I can find another coin counter that won't charge me anything that maybe has a higher limit than 200 bucks. still nothing out of my 2nd dime box. I am seriously thinking about checking out some nickel boxes.

I hate people like "Mr WaWa Manager",They are the entire reason banks are starting to charge a fee for boxes more and more often. I only do dimes and the occasional quarter box just because they are easier to unload on banks,Tellers will shut you down quick in my area if you dump halves more than twice a month now,The entire reason is because of b/s like this.Disrespect or Rudeness is how an idiot expresses himself to others.Some ppl need to learn that there is a right and wrong way to get your point across,Mr WaWa Manager makes it harder on all the rest of us. I have alot of patience but disrespect for others is something i do not tolerate,Whether its toward tellers or other CRHers and mr wawa was definitely disrespectful of both in the way he handled this.Pure ignorance IMHO.

What was really funny is that I have been dumping there for quite some time now.. While he was arguing with the supervisor, the teller finally just called me over, cashed me out and said I'll cya the same time next week.. I should have just stopped the guy mid sentence and said, hey dude.. I am dumping directly into your supply anyway.. Trust me, you don't wanna be searching that kind of dump volume.. :laughing1:
 

I seriously recommend that! Save all the pre 60's that's the way bestest way to cash in!

Just out of curiousity why would I keep the pre 1960's? I do keep them because everyone else says to but what do i do with them. It's like all the wheaties that I have saved up. Newbie question here but what do I do with them?

Sidenote - I have a bunch of 1944-45 canadian V nickels and 1946-51 12-sided canadian nickels. anyone have any idea what they are worth?

Other than the 1947 dot nickel, they are all worth below $3. Are any of them in XF or higher?

Um, I'm confused - pointing at his hat and saying "for wawa"? What the heck is that supposed to mean? To me, "wawa" sounds like something a baby would say for "water", or maybe a pet name for grandma or something. Was the guy you were describing maybe mentally unstable or something?

WaWa is a convenience store/service station type deal.

Wawa is a regional convenience store chain. Mostly in the Mid-Atlantic states, I believe.
 

You should have offered to sell him some of your dimes...

You beat me to it, I was going to say the same thing. If I had what he was looking for I would of just said here ya go, saves me a dump lol.. HH, Maverick.
