    And if you sign up to an online payment system with a personal account to receive payments the bank could be onto it very quickly.

    Our local NatWest has a coin machine to use for making deposits.  Great for when I empty out the piggy bank each year before Christmas.  But I've never seen a way to get coins from an ATM.

    not really answering your question but....do you always use up all the change you get? would it be possible to keep a float of your change and carry that forward to the following week?

    When I need change for work I usually just get it from the post office counter at the local petrol station. A mix for £20 or so at a time.  Otherwise, I buy a bottle of milk from the corner shop with a tenner (their own fault for not accepting cards unless it's over £5).

    If it's your stall do you not set the prices?  At work all our prices are multiples of 10p so we don't need 1s, 2s or 5s.  Multiples of 5p would at least get rid of the need for copper.

I pay monies onto bank acount and withdarw cash as required by presenting cashcard at  Post Office. Santander are happy with my proposed payments in and out so looking good. Appreciate all suggestions Regards, David
