All major Western hotels in Indonesia have full airport-style security at the entrances. Basically, if you are a Westerner, they xray your bags and let you through without much of a secondary screening if you set off the metal detector. The same is basically true for well-dressed locals. What the recent bombing means is that such security will be much more thorough, and that additional physical reinforcements will be constructed around major urban hotels, with extra security guards. There will also be police and military officers stationed at major hotels for the foreseeable future.

A) The coins ship Next Day Air and are a signature item.
B) Last night was the first I've heard about a short roll.
C) gbryan84 is buying 10K of coin at a time, and the limit is almost 25k per order. So what you posit is definitely doable.



Or you can walk the boxes to a teller...apparently my local TD doesn't care either way. ^



There is a TD at 14th and F, 7th and I, and another one just off of Dupont Circle. No need to come visit me, although if you did I'd certainly be willing to help you carry the coins from the car to the branch.



Rut roh.

Morning, Box. Happy Friday to all. :D

I didn't realize that we had any TD's in DC. Perhaps this coin idea is not so bad after all.

The first time I heard my fiancee and her sisters drop that word, I just went "Um, what?" :confused:

The other thing that drives me nuts about how they murder words here is "realtor". They say it "real-it-ter" here. :rolleyes: I really had no idea that cultural differences in the language could be so profound in the small area that is the width of New Jersey. "Custard", as mentioned before, was confusing and slightly annoying. The other thing that really confused me was "hot cereal". Huh?? Hot cereal, to me, is taking a bowl of cereal and putting it in the microwave. Hot cereal out here is what the rest of the planet knows as instant oatmeal.

Nice! When I stayed in Medan back in the early 1980's it was a DUMP of a place! Must have improved if there is a JW there!

I would try to bring the rolled coin to a teller first.

Of the coins I've deposited, I haven't opened any.

100K & $84. Praying OK lets the reservation stand, as CO requires a 24 hour hold period before confirming. :rolleyes:
