Some other bank branches have commission free coin counting machines for their customers as well - HSBC, NatWest and Barclays for instance

Limited HSBC branches, usually the very large ones.

I'm sure the Post Office or any bank will take the coins - you may want to sort and bag them up rather than just dumping random coins on the cashier though.

I just whack them through the self-serve at my Tesco. Only person's time I'm wasting is my own that way and avoid having to bag them up properly. It also avoids any awkward confrontation if they decide to bring up the coinage act...

There's a limit to how many coins you can put through, had them all spat out in the past.

If you bank with Metro Bank you can use the Magic Money Machine.

Edit: Apparently you don't need to be a customer to use them, and they don't retain any commission either.

Given that the OP is from Teesside, and there aren't any branches north of Sheffield or Manchester, Metro Bank wouldn't be much use to them

I've got loads of shrapnel knocking about. I'll get round to it one day.
