36.0. "PENNY WRAPPERS?" by KOALA::FAMULARO (Joe, ZK02-2/R94, DTN381-2565) Wed Jul 08 1987 16:37

    I have a bunch of pennies I'd like to deposit into my DCU account.
    DCU will not take the pennies unless they are bundled in penny
    wrappers, so I asked if they could give me some wrappers for this
    purpose.  The answer I got was that "they do not supply wrappers
    but I should be able to get some from a local bank."
    
    Sure...
    
    Me: "Hello Friendly local bank teller, could I have some penny
         wrappers please?"
    
    Teller: "Why sure Sir.  Do you have an account with us?"
    
    Me: "No, but Digital Credit Union told be to come to you to get wrappers
         so I could deposit my money with them."

    Teller: "Ohhhh, gimmie a break!"
    
    DCU, how about supplying some wrappers?  Thank you.

36.1Change not welcome in AndoverANYWAY::GORDONMake me an offer...Wed Jul 08 1987 17:128
    	The last time I brought in coins (all rolled - about 2 rolls
    each of quarters and dimes) the teller told me "we don't usually
    handle coins but I need some change so I'll take it."
    
    	Last time I looked it was all spendable....

  So what does DCU use when it comes time to wrap *their* coins?  Tape?
  If they've got 'em, they should give 'em to you if all you're going
  to do is turn around and give 'em back.  Make sense?  Maybe that's the
  problem... <sigh>

  (btw, I've gone to the bank and asked for coin wrappers before and they
  didn't ask if I had an account there - though I was there for another
  reason...)  
36.3go to HudsonMORMPS::WINSTONJeff Winston (Hudson, MA)Wed Jul 08 1987 21:563
The HLO branch both dispenses and accepts penny wrappers cheerfully

must be an aberration
36.4Complain?REGENT::EPSTEINBruce EpsteinMon Jul 13 1987 12:353
    Also Maynard (Mill), although last time the teller 
    apologized for only being able to give me 10 wrappers
    (a shipment was late or something).
36.5MEGA-PENNIESPUNDIT::CHIPTue Aug 04 1987 15:008
    Where does one cash in 174 pounds of pennies?
    I worked at a newspaper one time and they had a machine that counted
    and rolled change the paper boys/girls on collection day but try
    and get a bank to do this.
    I figure by the time I count, and roll then write name address and
    phone number on every roll, and hire a U-HAUL I'll be retired 30
    years from now.
    Or maybe by then they will be worth more melted down...
36.6Lesee, how many pennies in 174 pounds...ECADSR::SHERMANone rubber nose!Tue Aug 04 1987 16:111
    Was this a wedding gift, or did you have an irate tenant? Just curious...
36.7Try a "full-service" bankFURILO::BLINNLooking for a job in NHTue Aug 04 1987 18:1318
        In addition to my DCU account, I have a NOW account at Numerica in
        Manchester, NH.  I recently took a large bag of loose coins,
        mostly pennies but also nickels, dimes, and quarters, to their
        branch in Pennichuck Square on Route 101A (I believe this is in
        Merrimack, but I could be mistaken).  They counted them while I
        waited, and deposited the proceeds into my account. 
        
        Many savings banks, and almost any full-service bank, can handle
        loose change.  Most will want you to have an account with them,
        but you could always open an account and ask them to deposit the
        coins into it. 
        
        I suspect the DCU has such equipment, but probably only at the
        main branch at Parker Street in Maynard.  You could ask whether
        they can take the coins at Parker Street, if your branch won't
        take them.

36.8geography is correctSAUTER::SAUTERJohn SauterWed Aug 05 1987 17:062
    Yes, the Numerica branch at Pennichuck Square is in Merrimack.

36.9also Souhegan National BankPULSAR::WALLYWally Neilsen-SteinhardtThu Aug 06 1987 15:585
    And I deposited several pounds of small change in my account at
    Souhegan National Bank in Milford.  Last I heard pennies were in
    short supply.  Have you thought of seeing if the Boston Federal
    Reserve Bank wants them?  I think they are in charge of keeping
    banks in the region supplied with currency.
36.10MY PROBLEMS BEEN SOLVED!!!KOALA::FAMULAROJoe, ZK02-2/R94, DTN381-2565Fri Aug 07 1987 19:428
    Today I received a telephone call from the DCU main office.  The
    individual I spoke with said that a DCU director saw this
    note and informed him of my penny wrapper problem.  He said he'd
    mail me a sufficient supply for my needs immediately and see to it
    that the ZK branch would be supplied with wrappers from now on.

    Thank you DCU.  Your addressing of this problem is MUCH appreciated!
    
36.11Glad your problem was addressed,.. How did they know?SWATT::LEEBER1SPCS Hits Pay-dirt! Film at elevenTue Aug 18 1987 18:489
    RE: .10
    
    Just curious;
    
    Did the person you spoke with say that the note information came
    from Mark Steinkrauss or did some other DEC employee pass it to
    them?

36.12More...KOALA::FAMULAROJoe, ZK02-2/R94, DTN381-2565Mon Aug 24 1987 13:193
    The person that spoke with me did not say who passed along the
    information.
    
36.13Indian Head counts coinsDECWIN::FISHERBurns Fisher 381-1466, ZKO1-1/D42Mon Aug 31 1987 16:5610
    BTW, the main branch of Indian Head bank in downtown Nashua (the
    one on Main street, not the salmon-colored one behind it) has a
    coin counting machine.  They accept large quantities of coins on
    one particular day of the week (don't remember which).  I suppose
    they probably want you to have an account, but don't know for sure.
    (I've not done it...just seen the sign when I was in for another
    purpose.)
