Euro coins

Hi, I have a lot of Euro coins (probably about £60 in high value coins) & I don't really know what to do with them. We cross the border sometimes for the airport etc but not really for shopping/social activities so it could take us some time to spend them down south. We live relaitively near the border so a lot of shops here take Euros but I think only notes.... Is there anywhere that would exchange euro coins into sterling do you know? Thanks

    I do remember being in a Supervalu shop in Dundalk where they had a machine which took your euro coins, counted them and gave you a voucher for the amount. You could then use it at the till for shopping, or possibly exchange it for the cash at the till, I think! That would give you Euro notes at least.
