Fed Reserve or Brinks - What's Better - HELP

Does any one get Fed Reserve boxes versus the armored car company boxes. I might be able to get Fed Res but might have to pay a fee. Is it worth it? The Brinks boxes I have been getting suck.

Not sure there is a difference. From what I have seen, been told and what ever from boxes I've gotten, the armored car company isn't the problem (and it's not them doing the coins anyway, it's the bank that does them). It's where they go, where they get re-rolled that matters. We have about 5-8? different armored car companies here. They go from bank to bank and do what ever. The thing I have been working on is what the BANK knows about where they get them from and send them back to. We have a B of A here that word is pretty sure they do their own coin processing. I haven't been able to bring that to fact yet. A local one office credit union sends there bills and coin to Seattle and gets them from there. I was shown the shipping slips for that by one of the tellers.
Point here is, if you have a new way of getting boxes........GO FOR IT!!! You never know.

My last two boxes came from the small one office credit union. Out of two boxes I got
6 40%ers. That is the same bank I got a box with a ton of walkers and bens. YOU NEVER KNOW............

AW, from what I have learned, the federal reserve is comprised of 12 districts in the US. Each district has so many states under their region. The Federal Reserve contracts out the distribution and pickup of coins from the bank to Distribution Centers. These distribution centers totaled almost 200 in 2004 and might be over 200 by now. The actual address of these distribution centers are closely guarded for obvious reasons. These distribution centers also roll the coins when they get low in a certain denomination from coins picked up from banks. From time to time the closest Federal Reserve or even another distribution center will transfer coins to a Distribution point if they get low on a denomination. I picked up this information through research and information received from a brinks driver. I sounds legit to me but who really knows.
