Pro tip: if you stop at every Wells Fargo in three counties on a road trip and clean them all out on surplus change, your checking account *will* eventually get flagged for suspicious activity and results in a long conversation between you, a branch manager, and the Wells Fargo central office. #coins #numismatics

My lack of impulse control and ability to moderate my hobbies is why I had to stop collecting Magic cards.

Then again, it's also how I ended up running an Internet exchange and one of the largest free software CDNs, so two sides... of the same coin? 🥁🥁🐟

@kwf That *banks* of all places are confused by very normal activities for coin collectors gives me a good chuckle. I hope they immediately waved you off once "I collect coins" left your mouth. 😆

@syntaxseed the branch manager knew me and has said I'm one of her nicest customers, so my involvement in the conversation was mostly just having to confirm that yes, all seven of those withdrawals were me, then a lot of talking between her and the central office. So I literally could not have picked a better branch to get flagged at.

@kwf Wow. How much did you buy?
Show threadKenneth Finnegan1d ago
@jawnsy a bit over $2000

@kwf I look forward to seeing if you find anything really good in that haul.

@kwf
That is pretty sad that withdrawing $2000 in coins is "suspicious activity."

@BobCollins I think the rub is doing it in three different counties in the same day
