Mr. Rawles,
With the low profile purchase of nickels now a desire of many folks, I have had fun in purchasing them in "bricks" [boxes of rolled nickels.]
I go up to the bank teller window and ask if they have a brick or two available for purchase. Many times I receive a positive response. (I have a Military Intelligence background and know how to keep a secret while avoiding a direct answer.) After the purchase many times the teller inquisitively asks why I need so many nickels. I look at her with a twinkle in my eye and lean over whispering and ask her a question. “Can you keep a secret?” And she usually gets very serious and leans toward me and whispers, “Yes I can.” Then I stand upright, look her in the eye, wink, smile, and say “So can I”, and turn around and walk away. Have fun out there. – CH
Mr. Rawles:
Your reader on the east coast is fortunate; I have been banking at the same local bank for 16 years and have a substantial amount deposited in the institution. For the last four years I have been buying $20.00 worth of nickels every other week when I cashed my check. This Saturday when I went to pick up my nickels I was told that I could only have three rolls and there would be a .10 charge per roll. I suspect that word is starting to get around about nickels. SurvivalBlog readers should get their nickels before it is too late! – Jim from Illinois
