Save the pennies, make some pounds.
People have been saving and hoarding coins, in piggybanks etc., for centuries. Metal detectorists spend most weekends hoping to find an old stash of coins!

Ignoring the usual petty spat that has developed - could the OP please come back and tell us what they actually did with the bottle?0

I would just spend some time counting into bags of £1 then take it to the bank, but be careful as my bank the nationwide only accept 5 bags at a time, so check what yours accept first.
I know Barclays have no issues taking multiple bag's of counted coins.0 -

With cash going out of fashion (use contactless card instead), I haven't used any coins this year, and only £25 in notes.1 -
Just to mention that the HSBC Branch Finder includes an option to show which branches have a coin deposit machine.
