Spend your coins on something else? Why are you accumulating so many that it’s become a problem?

Do they not take them if they are bagged up?

They point blank refuse to take any coins at all bagged or unbagged @user1977 i needed to pay funds into my personal bank account to prevent it going into overdraft and therefore avoid incurring bank charges

You didn't have enough to bag though - you need £10 worth of 50p to bag, not sure about the £1 but would be £10 at least.

They wont take them just because they are bagged. They  need to be complete bags in the correct denominations.

Were you actually trying to pay £7.50 into your bank account, or was that just an example?

It was actually £32.50 3x£10 notes 2x£1 coins and 1 x50p

I find I need coin more on a day to day basis than having a surplus to bank

It wouldnt matter to them if the coins were bagged or not they point blank refuse to accept any coins at all. Yet if i was to purchase a stamp or anything else it wouldnt be an issue using coins

Give them to somebody else who doesn't mind having your change, and they can pay money into your account?

If they refuse to accept any coins at all even if they are bagged in the correct  amounts then you need to make a complaint using the link posted above. 

But as you were not paying in full bags how do you know they wouldn't have accepted them? They were never going to accept £32.50 over the counter. But had you paid in £35 in notes or £30 in notes and a £5 bag of 10ps you would have had no problem.

It would appear that you're psychic. 

Despite the OP repeating, time and time again, that their Post Office won't take coins, you seem to know better. 

Maybe, just maybe, they could be right...

My local post office refuses to accept coins when I pay into my personal bank account I understand that coins need to be bagged for business accounts but this is a personal account and the bank is on their “approved” list. for example If i want to credit my ccurrent account with £7.50 they will only accept the £5 note stating “we do not accept coinstheir website  clearly states"Make deposits with your card and PIN” Yet the staff point blank refuse to accept any coins . my banks local branch closed some time ago and the only option i have of paying money in is via the post office but they will not accept coins of any denomination. Any advice going forward would be greatly appreciated…..

You need to bag them in approved bags
