NOOOOOOO...!!!
Coin change machines take a commission...
When you are ready, nip into your bank and get some coin cash bags... Then take the bagged cash in and deposit it into your account....;-)
You can always withdraw the amount at the same time...
Experienced small change collector at your service peeps...

I save mine in a pot and give it to the Rotary Club when Santa comes a knocking on his Christmas sledge. The money is usually for the local hospice or MacMillans... so its a good worthy cause |

I dont actually have one, however my mum used to have a massive Vodka bottle and that would only be filled up using silver. I do kinda collect £2 coins though and they are just in a large cake box ready for crimbo |

Am I really boring as I try and pay for everything in change so I don't have to take money out the bank if I need to, therefore earning more interest? I've never seen the point in keeping change at home when it could be making money in the bank!
My only exception is coppers in my church Christmas collection thing but that only gets a couple of quid a year that way! |

Yes and I actually use my to pay off a debt every month, once there is about a tenner, I give it to a friend at work in exchange for a cheque as that's the only way to pay it off. It was over £500 and is now just under £200 mostly thanks to my penny jar |

I have 7 different tins and forever chucking loose change in, I used to chuck everything in one and it used to really annoy me counting up all the different denominations, so I went to the pound shop and got those tins they sell and now have one for each.
Just changed up the 20p tin and had £142.00 in it, that put a little smile on my face  |

My daughter bought me one of those that counts it as you put it in so I always know how much is in it. The friend at work uses Nat West (I think) who have a machine to pay in coins so I don't have to count it when I take my money to work |
