I've been out of the CRH hobby for a few years. Since then I've noticed a lot of the banks around me (Chicago NW suburbs) have been closing branches and even the branches they have open they have less tellers. It looks like they are trying to push people to do more on-line banking. With that being said I think they are getting rid of the Coin Machines as well. My theory is that they had an overload of CRH dumpers so they stopped offering the coin machines as an option to customers. I might be wrong.
For Chicago area I use to use TCF Banks for dumping. Two reasons, lots of locations and extended hours because they were inside Jewel-Osco foodstores. But they have since closed most all of the Jewel branches plus most of the branches still open have gotten rid of the Coin Machines.
I was thinking about getting back into the hobby. I use BOA as my ordering bank. I was thinking about checking out US Bank or PNC Bank as my dump banks. I'm hoping they still have the coin counting machines. Otherwise I'm not sure what to do for dump banks? BOAs never had the machines and only accepted customer wrapped coins, which I don't want to do, plus I don't want to return coins to the same bank I'm ordering from.
Ideas for dumpiing?
CRH is a fun hobby, but I find the logistics of dumping hard, and looks like it's gottin harder the past few years. They are on to us!
