If the bag specifies, for example, £1 in 1p pieces and there's only 90p it has to be counted by hand, which takes time.
No, the scales that Halifax have will tell the user that there's 90p in that particular bag, it's not just a 'Yes/No'.0 -
If I were you, I would never,ever, go into a bank again and I'd take my £15 in loose change elsewhere.
That'll teach 'em !!
They could always take it to pay for self service shopping at TEscos. As I understand it you can tip a load of coins into the cash hopper and any surplus will be refunded as higher denominations. Not used it myself but been told reliably that it works.Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0 -
... or ask in your local corner shop / newsagents if they would swap change for some notes, it is what we always do. Saves the 13% the machines in Asda etc take off you!0
