Coins for cash

My son had £80+ in assorted coinage.
The bank weighed the sorted bags and said it was £62.50?

So if your son was confident that he was right and they were wrong, he presumably took it back away with him?

He gave up arguing!

Not sure what you actually mean by that ambiguous comment but if he was ultimately prepared to accept the bank's valuation then to me that would signify a lack of confidence in his own counting....

If the bank's coin bags were used correctly then the odd 50p cannot have happened as they are all multiples of £1 and cannot be used for mixed coin. It may also have helped if he'd filled in a paying in slip showing the amount of each coin denomination.

They may have had 50p in their till and made up the difference (especially for a young person) to make a full bag.

Using the automated counting machines available at some of the branches might be better in the future?

this post is pointless isn't it? nobody can do anything about it now?
tell your son in future to count his money properly, not just guess at "£80+"
