Hello

Does anyone know if supermarkets still have those machines you can pour all your coppers into? I have a jar full sitting here and I want to find out how much is in it!:j

    They charge 8% to use them though. Much better counting it yourself, bagging it and taking it to the post office or bank.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Some banks have machines which don't charge if you are a customer of their's - much better than paying the rates some of the machines charge I'd do it for much less than 8% :)
