got a call from my bank just now (CRH)

351maverick · Jan 11, 2013

the branch manager of one of the branches of my credit union called just now

...the bag of half dollars just filled up from the coin machine...and do I want to buy it for $1000....well HECK YEAH

I do this all the time - be nice to the tellers & managers & they will be VERY nice to you!

so it's sitting in the vault waiting for me to pick it up in about 24 minutes

Good Luck with that bag. Let's hope that lots of people cashed in coins for their Christmas spending. : ) Let us know how it comes out.

Good luck with CRH'ing those halves. Keep us posted.

Bring some home-made cookies or premium candies. Walgreens or CVS always have deals on GOOD candy....don't be cheap. These relationships are hard to find!

24 min. ? You have to get a closer bank.

KingTotsalot · Jan 11, 2013

You must have em by now! Good luck!

Love those bags of halves. My bank is still sitting at a little over $700 in the bag. Been waiting for this bag for a long time, as it fills slowly.

Good luck with yours. Bags have had silver every time in my experience.

Isaac43 · Jan 11, 2013

Good luck with this! :grin:

KingTotsalot · Jan 14, 2013

How did it work out? We ALL want to know! :laughing:

tench10lb · Jan 14, 2013

Good luck

351maverick · Jan 15, 2013

well that was not my best bag, but not bad either:

one 64
two Benjamins
nine 40%ers
a whopping 25(!) $2 Canadian coins (I love those)
a nice 2011 & 73s

and a whole bunch of junk...but that's ok - makes it interesting...plus I could have a free beer at just about any bar/club in this town with the number of tuits in these bags lol

only other big foreign coin is a 94 eire...pretty cool

Dark Chameleon · Jan 15, 2013

What the hell are the packing them full of .... ???

I'd be taking back the tokens n junk and remind the bank about them..ofcourse id keep the sweeties but whoever brought that bag in was offloading their junk and didn't realize they had some treasures in their too

gordonquixote · Jan 15, 2013

Interesting that the tokens make it through the machine.

Nice silvers!

351maverick · Jan 15, 2013

this bag came straight out of the coin counter - the sorter only sorts by size, and does not discriminate at all

....so all of that "junk" gets through

BUT I've used the tuits at bars, or given them to friends who are the members of the clubs - the one in the pic is from a local golf course & is marked $5 on the back

plus the big foreign coins are allways interesting

I like finding the other stuff in these bags...you NEVER know what you might find

KingTotsalot · Jan 16, 2013

Good looking take! Great return on a $1000 bag! Would love that any day! The King is happy for you! :congras:

mhallack · Jan 18, 2013

25 $2 toonies? :wow:

Since the exchange rate is almost 1=1 for US and Canadian dollars, $50 right there for you. I would think your bank would exchange those for ya!!

they would....but I have a collection growing - I spend them in Niagara Falls Canadian side) every year - there's a KILLER Brazillian steakhouse called Brasa that will be seeing all of them!

HighFlyer · Mar 6, 2013

So you were shorted $8 by the tokens and buttons, not counting the Canadian $2 pieces...?? That sucks. That's almost 1% of the bag. I guess the good stuff will make you forget about the junk though.

KingTotsalot · Mar 6, 2013

HEY! KT would buy a $1000 bag that worked out that good! Any day! And He ain't got a place to spend those Canadians! HA HA HA

so jealous. My teller was going to let me buy theirs, but the manager refused to allow them to be sold. :mad:
