But there is a detailed section on the SAR for explanations. If it says "This guy keeps bringing in coins, he says he buys them from the Mint", it is going to get a big yawn from the authorities since they will have read a ton of SARs that say the same thing. If it says "Our customer keeps saying that all of his clients pay him in dollar coins" that may bring further attention if the IRS is flipping through the SARs and can't fing a business associated with that bank customer.
I made my first deposit using the coin machine ($1,000) today. I wish I had done that before. Very convenient. I use 5 banks and a couple give me a bit of attitude. The coin machine gave me no attitude.

One of the banks I use has a coin machine and they waive all fees for customers.
Not all of the branches of this bank has a coin machine. Since we all live in different areas of the country, I would just call around to the banks in your area.

Would they arrest me for depositing money? Nope. But could they refuse my deposits if I have "fishy" or inconsistent stories? Sure. Also, when it's turned over to the feds, they could be more aggressive toward me if they think I'm lying about my fund source. If my story is consistent from the beginning, it'll be easy to get anyone off of my back.

I use only US Bank, and 1 of the branches I went to had an external coin counter that the customer can use themselves. The deposit bags only hold 2000 coins though, so the teller had to change the bag twice while I dumped my coins. So it still requires a bit of teller work, though way less than them dumping your coins. Also you get to see the total as you dump so you know right away if it's adding up correctly.
I wish more banks had them on the "customer side" of the counter.

Caution. I have had issues using coin machines at banks. Some of the machines do not count $1 coins accurately. Yes, you know you put in $2,000, but the teller doesn't. There have been several reports in this thread about incorrect coin counts using the machines. I've yet to have a teller mis-count the rolls.

It is a local bank with offices only in KY. It counted them perfectly. Funnels them into separate bags for dollars, quarters, etc.

That's the beauty of the counters where YOU dump the money in. I usually dump $250 coins in each of the little boxes they come in, then as I dump them I watch the counter to make sure it counted 250. Then when you're all done it just prints off a receipt with your total and you give that to the teller.

I'd had a bunch of temporary ones who were older, turning up rather late for deliveries and struggling with the boxes, but you should see my young blond new one 
and he's an angel besides! Last week I had ordered some presidents at the address of another condo we own in the same complex. I left a note on the gate to bring them over here and he did! And he apologized for bringing them in the afternoon instead of the morning.
Yesterday I'd left my car out because I was expecting a lot and he put them in the trunk for me. Then this morning I was out with the dog when he drove by and honked. He waited until I dragged my senior citizen dog back to the house. Then he asked where the car was and waited while I pulled it out of the garage so he could load the three boxes. What a great life. Plus Mr. LLM will be back Sunday and I won't have to carry any more into banks. I can now bring in 2000 at a time but I'd much rather not!

My local bank has a tiny network that has the coin counters on the outside. This was all good until they shut the $1 coins down due to people putting through Chuck-E-Cheese coins 
They said they lost a lot of money that way

This is the first time I am trying this.
I placed an order 7/27 for the NA coins, and they said that they were in stock. I ordered 7.5K so they upgraded me to expedited shipping.
However, as of today, it still says:
"In stock and reserved"
and
"Order Status: Your order request is in process. "
Is this normal?
Thanks
