Where to cash in Change

gibbyni

I have about 30 quid in 1's and 2's all bagged but want to get them changed. Anyone know of any of the machines where you can feed them in and it gives you notes out. I know it will cost about 8% but worth it to get rid of all these. my bank will only accept 5 bags a go. so I just lodge the silver in there.

Somewhere around Belfast - Newtownabbey area

My tip is to head to a shopping centre with them and ask different shops to buy them from you (one or two bags at a time). I do this every year and it doesn't take long to get them changed into real money.

good luck

go to a post office or your local shop.

When shopping, use the self checkout in Tesco or Asda, the machines will take them

Sorry, but any Post Office I know would be likely to tell you to get lost.

If you can afford it, you could always donate the odd small handful to your local beggar.

Credit Union maybe? If you're a member

So just queue up twice! Kick up a stink! Open a second bank account only for the change!

What a ridiculous policy - dont want to have to work!

Years ago now, when the £2 coins first came out people used to hoard them. I saved up about 100 and took them to the Ulster Bank on the Ormeau Road. The woman in there was so rude and refused to take them.:mad:

Banks! don't get me started.....................

The Northern in Larne opens on Sat mornings but you can't make a lodgement or a withdrawal... :mad: great for people like me who work during the week...
I reckon they just open up to tell you this.......
