50 bags isn't a lot. They only need to weigh them. I think most banks would be Ok as long as you never went when they were mad busy.

The problem is usually to do with storage. It appears to be the ex building societies that are more likely to have restrictions.

Best bet is the Morrisons self service I do it all the time. Buy my morning papers and put in about an extra fiver. Get a £5 note in return.

Cracking idea.

I must have about £30 in change (1p, 2p & 5p) just chucked in a drawer at work - I usually use it for the tea club or collections.

Had thought about putting it all in a tin and cashing it in when it's full but that seems like a big faff.

Only the CoinStar type machines take a %. Some supermarket self service checkouts have a similar set up where you can just dump a handful of change in.

Yes, CoinStar are brilliant. What's their slogan? "Turn coins into cash"

No!

"Turn cash into less cash".

Slightly off topic but coin star allow you to donate to charity for no fee.

Try the Post Office.

My husband's bank charged to deposit cash in his business account so the bank manager advised him to deposit the cash in a post office giro account and the wrie a cheque to pay it into his bank account.

The post office needed cash to pay out and they had to pay the bank for it so accepted cash for free.

The only reason i NEVER do that is they take a % of your money!

The supermarket self service checkouts dont take a % of your money, coinstar machines do though.

Never will use a coinstar machine for that purpose.

Ex (or current) building societies will only take 5

Proper banks will take unlimited amounts

If you use self-service checkout for coins you miss out on credit card cashback - that's why I only round down to the nearest pound
