About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A regular customer entered Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union one morning and asked the teller, 'Do you accept deposits in gold coins?' The teller replied, 'Yes, but only if they’re minted before 1933!' Just then, a delivery driver walked up and asked, ‘Can I make a deposit in these 1933 double eagles?’ The teller looked him straight in the eye and said, ‘Absolutely not!’ The driver shrugged and left, muttering something about ‘old coin laws are crazy.’ The regular customer laughed and remarked, ‘Guess he’ll have to wait until next year to cash them in here.’
2. A delivery driver pulled up to the Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union one afternoon with an unusual package. As he unloaded it from his truck, he noticed something odd—an old coin collection had mysteriously replaced his usual boxes of documents. The delivery driver scratched his head and called his supervisor. ‘Hey, boss,’ he said, ‘someone swapped my papers for some ancient coins!’ His supervisor laughed and replied, ‘Don’t worry, they must’ve sent you a bonus package.’ The next day, everyone in town received a similar surprise—except no one knew whose idea it was.’
3. A little girl walked into her dad’s local branch of Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union after school. As she approached the counter, she whispered excitedly, ‘Daddy, look what I found!’ But instead of coins or bills, there it was—an old coin-sized button with a strange design. The teller smiled and asked curiously, 'What does it say?' The little girl shrugged and replied, 'I don't know, but when I pressed it, a tiny bell rang!' Her father laughed and explained that it was an emergency alert button for staff use only. From then on, whenever they visited, she would press it just to hear the little chime. It became their family joke—a reminder that sometimes even banks can surprise you.
4. Have you heard about the time someone tried to cash in a million-dollar bill at Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union? No one believed it until they saw the teller’s face. A delivery driver once walked into Franklin Mint with a million-dollar bill wrapped in brown paper. The teller looked puzzled but said, 'Let me see that.' After a moment of scrutiny, she smiled and asked, 'Is this your first visit?' Turns out, it was just a commemorative coin from their gift shop.
