anyone here actually work in a bank?

I'm curious what's come through the door.

you there/?
For a while I supported the cash vaults of the bank and I can tell you that before the fed cracked down on them, there were a number of them that still had some pretty large stashes of silver dollars. A couple of times I was able to convince the vault manager to sell me a few, but it was usually only 3 - 5 at a time. But still at $1 a piece.
I can also say that the way movies/tv portray large amounts of cash is way different then what it is in reality. You would be hard pressed to find a attache case large enough to carry a million dollars in "unmarked" $10 & $20's. Let alone carry it.
What did the govt do to crack down? Thanks

I am not certain of the specifics, but it had something to do with the amount of extra inventory that they can maintain over and above their normal daily/weekly cash orders.

Ummm, those were the silver dollars from my SDB!
- They sell me their penny and nickel bags they get off of their sorter. I tell them not to bother if someone comes in with a "ton" of them (another cherrypicker). Usually takes a few weeks for them to spit out a penny bag; about a month for nickels.... Have found a lot of silver nickels....
- I order and go through 4 boxes of halves a week (Doing it right now actually) looking for silver. I bring them back to a different bank "just in case" they'd recycle them back to the same bank somehow.
- They save me any star notes they find...
- They save me every Ike they find.....
I love my bank...

You know I thought it was REALLY strange that he said they "always" opened them using a drill..... Not to mention they only kept a few in each box with all those legal looking papers.

Those legal looking papers are my divorce decrees... that's why there were so much paper!
There was smoeone on the boards that didn't actually work at a bank, but they did clean out their vacuum cleaner for them.....
Once in a while, she'd bring us rolls of pennies to go thru.
And that's where I found my very first IHC - - an 1876 in Fine condition!!
I'm no longer in touch with my childhood friend or his Mom (No, not because I got it & not him!), but I still have that IHC in my collection!

I remember that!
No regrets other than the silver I used to find on occasion.
No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
My son, the carpenter, had a lot of bank remodeling work. The bank gave him two cabinets. He went back at night to collect them. He found a stack of money in each one. While juggling the money, he called the bank manager who told him the alarm had sounded, the police were on the way and don't cross the threshold with that money since those were the dye packs and would explode. The police must have known it was a false alarm and were quite relaxed when they arrived.
