So get this...
I'm a social committee treasurer and usually don't get to the bank until I have like 50lbs of change. I've been separating my US change from the Canadian change when I roll it thinking I might make a percent or two on the exchange or worst case I figured they'd take it for par. Well, turns out the bank won't even take my money! Like WTF?
After a few minutes of shaking my head in confusion and trying to digest the information I've been given I had to ask... So let me get this straight, if I wouldn't have told you it was US change would you have checked? - she replied "no". If I mix it up with all my Canadian change and roll it again will you accept it? - "yes" was her reply. What if I told you to forget we ever had this conversation and I just won't say anything about the US funds? She chuckled and in the end still didn't take it.
I'm bringing REAL money to a bank for crying out loud and they won't accept it. Let me rephrase that... they will accept it just aslong as it's not organized for them.
Is it just me or is this like one of the dumbest things anyone's ever heard? I'm still baffled that I had to carry my money out of the bank because they didn't want it?
Confused Mike
