Where to deposit a load of coins?

I have a coffee jar full of 2p and 1p coins. I fill a small purse with them and use them at the self checkout.

If you're near a Metro Bank you can use their 'magic money machine' - tip the coins in and it'll give you a receipt to change into real money - same as Coinstar but with no charge.

You don't need to bank with them either - my son saves up his change and takes it in there once a year.

Indeed the same weight as an 11 stone person.

But you don't need a crane to lift that

I would like to see a normal sized person carry that all at once!

As another poster mentioned, HSBC do this in some (many?) branches. I use my Guildford branch to deposit charity donations at work into my own account and then transfer onwards.

Did this on saturday in fact - it wasn't 11 stone worth, but the 1's, 2's and 5's came to about £20. There was lots of larger ones as well. At one point the machine stopped, and gave me a receipt, saying no more as it was full. They emptied it and I added the rest...

IF you have a Metro Bank near you, they have coin machines that you can dump your change into and they won't take a fee. You also don't need to have an account. It prints out a ticket for you which you then take to the counter and they'll change it up. They will try and flog you one of their accounts, but I just stonewall them.

Better chucking them in the self service till to pay for your shopping. That way you get rid of the coins without being charged extra.
