The BofA branches have no coin machines. The bag is tagged and sent out to some other branch (they did not tell me the location) to be counted. Losing $3 this way really pisses me off

i've ordered three times from the mint. first time was unregistered and the other two were registered. i like being register because you can easily track your order. but that's the only highlight of being registered. i dont' see any other pluses. you can track your order if you're not registered but it's just an extra step to doing it.

as for limits, not sure if it's enforced? iah has ordered a lot and i am up to 9500. just received my second order today and waiting for another 1k. so not sure if there is a limit.

i made about $1 from left over coins in the machine counter. it was when i put $7500 in several banks during several visits. so knowing the correct amount does help, it should count all the coins but sometimes tehre's money leftover.

I'd suggest you first try to deposit the rolled coins directly with a teller and only unwrap and feed them to the machine if you must.

On a $5000 deposit they accepted and gave me a receipt for (and credit to my account), a week later they debited $57.34 from my account. What was amusing was that with a straight face they said 'your $5000 deposit in $1 coins was determined to be $57.34 short of $5000', to which I had to ask 'how does a deposit in $1 coins only end up short a denomination of 34 cents?' Later the teller admitted that the coins are in fact NOT counted, but, weighed. Apparently their scales said I was short 57.34 coins

End of story, they gave me back the $57.34 they tried to take, but, this makes me very hesitant to deposit with B of A any more (or at least large amounts).

It seems like a common denominator is BofA. I have deposited coins at WAMU, Chase and BofA and have had no problems...yet. I think I will avoid BofA from now on based on all these stories here.

My local credit union has been very accomodating. They just count the rolls (and validate with another teller). They also offered me the option of using their coin counting machine (like coinstar) fee free. Surprisingly, they prefered that I deposited with the teller and not break open the rolls, as they were very excited to have rolls they could now give to customers who have been asking for quite some time. The encouraged me to continue bringing the rolls to them so they could meet customer demand!

In for 20 boxes of the 2009 Circulating $1 Coin Direct Ship Rolls – Native American – Agriculture (N01) for $5000. Charged to my Schwab Visa. At 2%, its a cool $100. I plan to deposit it into my WF PMA checking account. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Deposited my first lot(mere $1000 ) today at citibank. The cashier was first amused but then seemed a bit annoyed as I kept pulling out more rolls out of my backpack. She didn't open it but just rubber-banded it in packs of 4($100). The manager was smiling throughout and asked me if I had more

This was bound to happen to someone...

I had placed an order for $5,000 NAs back in March. Between that time and the time that they shipped in late April my wallet was stolen, and naturally I had canceled that credit card. I received the $5K of coins, but there is no charge on my credit card. Not surprising, considering that the credit card number I gave them no longer exists.

Anyone else have this happen to them?

I expect that at some point they will catch on and contact me, but I wonder if it will take the month+ that is takes to ship coins. I think I'll give it another week or so, and if they don't contact me in another week I will contact them and fess up.

The right thing to do. Congratulations. In fact you should probably contact them now because there is no way for them to have the correct CC number.

so essentially you just got $5000 for free at least you're an honest person and eventually will report it.

You won't get the FF points!

The last few times our order was processed it took about a day or two after receipt for the actual charge to appear on my credit card statement. This might be what's happening w/you too. You might was to call the "mint" to make sure they have an active account.

If you give them another miles-earning card, you will!

I think they will contact you, someone else had this problem.
