what to do with small change

Yeah its free as its in the bank office, I use the one in my Natwest all the time - its quicker than queueing to see a cashier which I guess is why they have them. You can pay bills, and pay in cash (notes & coins) plus cheques.

Just ask at the bank and they should give you some coin bags.

I banked £7.00 today - in 1p , 2p and 10p bags - well it's a start!:rotfl:

The coinmaster machines.. we have one inside our Asda.. they charge a % but I don't know how much.

My branch of Nationwide will take as many bags as I have IF I pay into a child's account. If it's into my own account they will take a maximum of 5 bags per day.

I think the coinstars are quite high about 17% (I could be wrong). All I remember is taking my bagged up coins in there - reading the % and thinking "stuff that" and I took it to the bank and paid it into my account (5 bags - at nationwide also)

OR.......if you're really struggling what to do with it; I'll have it!:rotfl:

Larger branches of RBS also have the machine that will count the coins and pay it straight to your bank account.

Instead of using those cash counting machines in supermarket foyers, that take a cut. Use the new self sevice tills. They have a little dispenser that you pour your loose change into. Obviously dont try pouring a carrier bag full in at one time. It pays for your shopping and you dont lose a percentage. Instead of putting my loose change in a jar, I now use it weekly in these machines. It even seperates it and counts it up for you!:j
