For TSA... I routinely travel with half a box to a full box... And they usually send them bqck thru for another look... Guess I should 'declare' them like liquids to expedite the process or at least put them seperate

When I went through IAH this week, I had 3 rolls of $25 for tolls, vending machines, tips, etc. The TSA guys pulled my bag apart because of it.

My experience
I've been taking coins, boxed and rolled straight from the mint, into my local Bank of America for a few months now. Probably $40k total, no more than $8k at once. They've never given me any trouble. The tellers all know me and I've explained how the process works. They think its great. A few of them have even said they were going to try it themselves.
Last week they told me they had to unroll them all, but the teller I got said she didn't mind doing that since it got her off the desk for a few minutes. The Assistant Manager was a little less friendly, but he told me if I brought the $250 boxes still sealed, they could deposit them directly like that, without having to break the rolls. So that's what I'll do from now on.

Wonder if the sealed boxes later found short of rolls, what would the bank do to reconcile such?

Tried and Failed to Spend Coins Today
Decided to keep $500 back and "circulate." What better place than the Coaster ticket machine in San Diego county that gives dollar coins as change? Well, even though it was clearly marked as accepting $1 coins, they did not fit in this morning no matter how I fiddled.

One of my local banks LOVES the presidents, but can't get them from anyone but me, or so they say. I get some when I take in a few grand in NA's, but if I take in some presidents, they are all smiles for a week or two. So I used every local address that I could to get presidents. When I went to see family this summer, I had the presidents shipped there and transported them home to give to the bank. I give them $500 here or there and it keeps 'em happy

My bank branch hasn't given me any heat yet. I've only done 10k or so lifetime, never more than 1k at a time. They actually keep them and circulate them. There is some demand for the presidents now.

There are a number of posts in the last day or so that are teetering on omni-essence. Let's keep the off topic chatter to a minimum.

My US Bank branch takes the coins in the back, the teller unrolls them and sends them through the counting machine. I have offered to unroll and they refuse. Of course, I am doing small deposits ($500-1000 at a time to cover new card spend requirements rather than to get the points per dollar) rather than car loads at a time.
