Apologies if this is in the wrong place so please move.
I have lots of loose change in a celebrations tin, machines I have seen in supermarkets charge around 20p per £1, does anyone know of any shops/banks/supermarkets that dont charge or charge a lot less?
Thanks in advanced.

Coinstar charge 7.9p for every £1 which are available in most supermarkets. Not sure where you got the 20p from.
If you are a HSBC customer a number of their branches have coin counting machines. Although not a lot.
Other than that, coin bags are the answer.0 -
If you could bag them up yourself and take them to the post office they can change them for you. I wouldn't do it all at once though as they might not like that.0

Barclays have them to, I'm assuming they're free, as it was suggested I use one next time when i turned up at a counter with several bags of coins. They still processed them at the counter however.0

Although when faced with a lot of coin it looks like it'll be a mammoth task to sort it all out, if you do it one rainy evening (maybe get a couple of friends to help), you can get through a massive amount of coin in a very short time. I managed to do £500 with a couple of people helping me in about an hour recently. In terms of celebrations tins, I'd say this was about 2-3 tins' worth.0

My local Morison's has a self service checkout, scan your own items
On these checkouts there is a facility to pay cash as well as plastic
You can just bung all the change into the funnel & it sorts & counts for you, then uses it to pay for your shopping, without any fee, so £10 is still £10
I have done this with my loose change so know it worksEight out of ten owners who expressed a preference said their cats preferred other peoples gardens0 -

That is an amazing idea!0 -
HSBC have counters, they are free and it gets deposited into your bank account. If you don't have an HSBC account then do what I did and find a friend, they let me put the money in their account and then transferred it to my account.0
