    Hi - I change mine at the Post Office for notes (instead of getting it put into my account). I've never had a problem with taking around £20 every time.

    I always take my change to Tesco to do a small shop. Today I had to buy 9 items so could go through the self scan till. I managed to use more than £7 worth of coppers up to 50p pieces. I then put the rest on card. Took me ages though! (It was expensive because I bought 24 toilet rolls!)
