The Real Story or How A “Dream” Box Is Made
Well, thanks to a former Loomis Fargo worker, we have established from this linked post some important information: Post on another forum from a former armored truck driver.

A. These large money handling companies don’t pull out silver
B. They don’t allow their employees to pull out silver
I believe this to be a true fact.
Now, let’s use some common sense.
These companies are bringing in hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of coin to be sorted, re-rolled, re-boxed, palletized and shipped back to banks. I am sure they aren’t using a little mom and pop coin counter /roller. Nope, they are using an industrial size, humongous, gazillion coin per minute Binford 2000 coin machine. Keep the size of that machine in mind.
Grandma Drops the Coins Off At The Bank
So Grandpa, god bless him, passes at the ripe age of 85. Grandma doesn’t have any children or the ones she has doesn’t care about “all that old junk” they have and Grandma is left with the task of sorting through it all. Way in the back of the drawer of Grandpa’s old desk is 10 rolls of halves marked $10. Well that old SOB she thinks, I had to beg him for money and here is $100 and I can do what I want with it.
Grandma heads to the bank to run them through the coin counter that she just loves putting that saved change through. What an invention she thinks to herself. As she sees all those Walkers, Bens and Kennedy’s as she’s popping rolls she starts reminiscing about the good old days. Shoot, a couple of those 50 cent pieces was enough for Gramps and to get in the movie, get a soda and popcorn and still have money left. Oh, those were the days. The rolls are gone; she takes the receipt to the counter, gets her cash and is gone, off to Walmart to do some power shopping.
Now the CRH comes in, after he dumps $385 in halves the $500 bag fills, the teller pulls it out of the machine and puts a new bag. He doesn’t see the 100 silvers. It doesn’t matter anyhow. His bank is like mine and you can’t buy the bag, they go straight to the vault.
So now, 2 days later, lets say Brinks pics up that bag along with ten others and takes it with the others from the route to the “big old Brinks $$$ place building”
The bags come up the conveyer belt and the $10 an hour guy slits them and dumps them into the hopper of the Binford 2000. Now that hopper is the size of a 55 gallon drum. Bag after bag, all day long.
As he dumps the bag with Grandpa’s 200 silvers, he see’s a fleeting glimpse. Damn this company, I just wish for once I could buy a few of those silvers I see. Disgruntled, but with no other option, he keeps dumping, bag after bag of clad on top (with a few silvers and 40’s mixed in).
Well finally that clump of silver makes it to the bottom of the hopper and spills out on the shaker, mixing with clad and drops into the 10 or 20 or 100 rolls being filled at one time. All automated no human touch.
Those filed rolls start going down the belt, separate and go into the 10 or 20 or 100 boxes being filled at the same time.
Those filled boxes go down the belt, separate and start getting loaded on 10 or 20 or 100 pallets at a time.
You starting to get the picture. Good because we are almost done.
So you pick up your weekly 2 boxes at the bank. As you dig into that first box, every couple rolls your pulling out a Ben or a Walker; heck that one roll had 3 walkers AND A Ben.
In the end, it is a DREAM BOX. 10 Walkers, 8 Bens, 5 Kennedy’s and 12 – 40%. You can’t wait to post it. And you let everyone know that you have ONE MORE BOX, same bank, same order. It’s has to be another dream box. You can feel it.
10 rolls later, nothing. Damn, maybe they are in the bottom. 20 rolls, nada. 15 to go, nothing. What’s up? 50 rolls, 1 – 40%. How could this be? Same order, same bank, same supplier. Sorry, you already got the box with some of Grandpa’s silver. Don’t get greedy…LOL
Well just think back to the old Binford 200, all those coins, all those rolls, all those conveyer belts. Everything going in different directions.
In Conclusion
I will guarantee you one thing, Grandpa’s original 200 silver coins? They probably got divided into 2 or 3 or 8 or 10 different boxes and made that many CRHers very happy.
And all those bags of CHR coin dumps, well you all know how that story ended.
Well, that’s my theory, WHAT'S YOURS?
