Coin counting machines - rates

It will be more efficient in many circumstances to count up and pay in. I’ve got a set of scales at home, and often find that I end up with a large amount of change each year which often fills our ISA allowances (OH runs a cash business and often exchanges coins for notes before going home).

The scales cost £12, which paid for themselves around 36 times last year alone. We’ve had these about 3 years!

Or just visit a branch which has the coin counting machines in and use them. No charge, takes seconds and no need to buy scales.....

Not everywhere has them, though. I'm with BOS and OH with Lloyds TSB and neither of our branches has one.

I tend to chuck all my change in a tin and then cash it in when it's full (usually well in excess of £100).

I find my local pub or shop are more than grateful for it - they have to pay for their change from the bank. Often get a free pint from the pub for taking it there

Then buy a set of scales, rather than pay up to ten per cent of your hard earned money.

Then they are banking in the wrong places.
