if there is a coin counter that is consistantly wrong - why not run through a ton of pennies and try to make some profit?

B) There's just as much of a chance of ending up with a loss.

I think I am up about $.95 from the coin machines, excluding the Lira coin that I have no idea what to do with. I have found that when the bag becomes full and the machine stops, some of the coins in the reject section get regurgitated (sp?) back into the dump pile. Unfortunately, this reject section occasionally swallows a dollar coin of mine. It is very important and completely ethical to keep any gains in order to compensate for losses.

Funny thing is, I received 2 postcards from the US mint a couple days ago. One was addressed to my home address, the other to my home address with the #1 after it. I had previously placed a couple of orders with the #1 after the home address, in an attempt to surpass the normal limit (which worked)

UPS robot just called regarding the 95 lb shipment arriving today. We'll soon know if Kim at UBOC is still happy with the coin program.

It is nothing special - just a postcard promotion about the 2009 uncirculated coin set. At least I don't see any earning opportunities there, or it would have been discussed here all over.
By the way, although I only have one account with the Mint, I received two cards. Have no idea....

I'm curious how much per month most of you are depositing, and how long you've been doing it.
I just started this week with 2 $3,500 shipments (home and office).

Please let's not go there again. Has been discussed many times. Do not need to make this thread any longer than it needs to be.

Sorry - you're right. I'm new to the game and just a little nervous.

Anyone get presidential dollars which are from the San Francisco (S) mint? Just checked "the COIN DEALER newsletter" (gray sheet). Looks like these are worth $3 each. Are these "proof" coins only?

I received 2500 this morning and needed to get it into the system ASAP because I had a Citi payment due at 2pm. So, instead of driving an extra half mile to my favorite Chase branch, I decided to try my luck at Wells Fargo, which is reasonably cool with coins. While they were happy, if not excited, to take them, they insisted on doing the unwrapping + counting thing.
When all was said and done, the total was 2494 dollar coins and 6 quarters. Rather simply acknowledge that machine had erred, the tellers insisted that there were, in fact, 6 quarters in the lot. In spite of the fact that I only lost 4.50 due to the mix-up, their lack of common sense and refusal to actually look for these 6 mystery quarters left a bad taste in my mouth.
