How are all the noodlers going?

Well done Jeff.

I went to my local "Which Bank" earlier today to deposit some coins and to get some more to noodle.   I was then informed that the bank manager wanted to see me.

I finished what I was doing and fronted the bank manager where I was informed that as I was not a business account holder, I was not supposed to be using the atm's or the coin issue machine.

I should get myself an ABN, a business account and business account card to prevent me from having my normal every day debit card being frozen as I was using it as a business card.

I informed him that one several occasions in the past that I have tried to make alternate arrangements to secure bulk coin and was advised to use the hole in wall as they can't issue coins from/via the tellers.

So tomorrow I will be investigating the ABN etc and try and become a business rather than a single person.

Has anyome else been advised of the same please.

I have been spoken to and told the coin machines are for businesses, not individuals. However if it is only occasional and not more than $100 they won't take action. Needless to say I was not impressed. That is not my local branch but in the next town where we usually grocery shop once a week. They even called my local branch to report me and ask for them to speak to me too!
I do have an ABN -didn't think to acquaint them with that fact. But my accounts are all "personal" even though one account was opened for and used exclusively for business purposes; as far as I am concerned that is a business account but without the frills and extra charges for what which bank calls a business account.

Thankfully our local branch has traditional tellers who receive and dispense cash. Only three regular staff who all know me and will nod or shake their head, when I walk in, to indicate if they have coin I have not seen yet. They get a big box of chocolate from me each Christmas and damned if I will give chocolates to the coin machine.

Nasty bank. I regularly withdraw $1000 of $2 coins from various St George machines and have never had any problems. Well, till yesterday when the machine was out of $2 coins.  The other thing that was unusual was the bank itself had shut well before closing time. The whole of Westfields Parramatta was a virtual ghost town mid afternoon.

[Mister T]

Annoying - I never take too much from the machines I've never been hassled (this is with Westpac) but making them only for business account holders? Hardly seems fair.

Meanwhile, I have 10 rolls of coins on my desk that I still haven't got to yet.

[Goldseeker]

Been doing $2K of mixed coins almost every day for not many finds.

[JeffH]

I have started seeing quite a few 20¢ lately.

[Mister T]

I finally got to my 5c and 20c rolls.
A 1996 New Zealand 5c, a 1967 New Zealand 20c and a 1980 New Zealand 20c.
A 2001 Bradman 20c.
A 2016 anniversary 5c.
Better than I was expecting.
Lots of 2020 5c pieces too more than two of the five rolls.

[Triggersmob]

I finally found my first 2020 50c coin in the till at work.

Interesting... A week or so ago, I was in the nearest city branch of my local bank, and was withdrawing coins for noodling. After providing the available quantities over the counter, they then suggested the in-branch Business banking ATM as a 24/7 option, issued me with a generic card to operate, and proceeded to demonstrate how to use the machine for the remainder of the coins that they were short of from the counter. Guess it comes down to the particular bank and their policies - I think in general, they would tend to discourage individuals changing large amounts, to minimise Armaguard handling fees.

As to my recent noodle, a few surprises - in particular the 2019 50 cent pieces (both IRB and JC portraits - 240k and 70k posted mintages).

Good haul.

I got a 2016 rabbit ears dollar from a family member's change tray today.

Which bank issued you with the card?

[Shire.of.Douglas]

The latest noodle provided the following: a solid haul of JC 2019 50c - all three coins were out of one roll. Pity I could only get 6 rolls from the machine, and 0 the week prior...

My favourite $2 coloured design is the "Eternal Flame" - sadly it has the highest mintage, but am I worried? Not even in the slightest.

All are scanned for your viewing pleasure, and I never tire of a bit of Pav lol
