    These machines will become more and more common as though expensive to install they'll pay for themselves through reducing the need to have deliveries of coin to branches.

    My local branch of Waterloovile in Portsmouth, hampshire also has a machine, its only a small branch and hasn't been decorated that i can notice just fitted a new machine, the lady said you either insert your card and empty the coins, or you insert a paying in slip with your account details and then empty the cash in and of course theres not charge. They won't give my son an account with a card until hes 11, but i'm wondering seeing as she said you could just use a payin in slip perhaps i could open him a savings account there that he pay in using the coin machine. Hes only 6 but saving for a 'car' already for when hes a 'man'. If the branches near me have them then i'm sure most of them will soon, as we don't live in a big town.

    Coin out slot is that not for rejected coins?
    Possibly, but if i remember rightly, there was a slot at the bottom for rejected coins.

    I cant remember now but when ive used the machines in the past rejected coins come out of both parts of the machine.

    However im loving the idea of a cash machine dispensing coins lol

    so glad i noticed this thread as have been in today and paid load of coins

    they are right though, there are 3 coin areas,

    1. the area where the rejected coins come (by the part where the coins are filtered into)

    2. where the coins are filtered to pay in

    3. there is also a slot by the screen marked coins as well,

    Oh cool that sounds positive to be honest i did not really pay much attention to the different slots etc. However I will give the machine a good one over on my next visit to the bank.
