I use a national bank to get my CRHing fix from. Today, when I got my third box of nickels (5 boxes of coins total since beginning CRHing) the teller I went to asked if I had a business account and if I was going to be getting coin boxes often. Of course, this immediately aroused my suspicions of bad news, so I told I did not have a business account with them and that I would be buying about a box of coins from them a week for the time being. Then, I kindly asked her if it was against bank policy to give boxes of rolled coins to bank members. She replied that normally they are only supposed to give coins to business clients (which have a special line up to the teller).
I then said I did not mean to cause the bank any trouble for buying up their boxes, and she asked out of curiosity what it is I do with the coins, so I explained to her exactly what I was doing with them, and again asked if this was a problem, to which she replied no, its just that the manager had mentioned me to this teller as well as the plastic bank box that I was supposed to bring back this week. I, of course, did bring back the plastic box today to the teller. It was the first thing I did actually as to earn myself some good faith points today.
So, what I gathered from this conversation is that they don't mind it... yet? Yes, the teller said I could continue to buy the boxes of coins, but she also mentioned that they were mainly for businesses.
What is your take on this? In the clear, or the curtain is closing?
