Also, with all the bailout money that has gone to the banks I hate to see them spending a lot of money to send coins back to the fed.
The real losers in this game is the American public.
More or less I agree with you. Where ever possible, I try to come with as many as possible brilliant unique ideas to spread the wealth in coins. Yesterday on the phone I asked the county clerk to accept my $2000 property tax in coins as they charge fee for credit cards, she declined. Any way I just went to their office with two boxes of $500 only which was accepted with the rest as check. My electricity bill does not take credit cards. It used to be direct deposit from the Bank but not any more. Now I go personally to the Payday cash shop to deposit the bill in coins.
The maximum that I have ever deposited in a bank is $2000. I just feel so bad for the bank and it somehow does not seem fair to them. Any way I know I am a chicken and no matter how much you justify, I cannot do that. Sorry
