I have three carrier bags full of coins
in my wardrobe. I take all the shrapnel out of my wallet every time it gets a bit full and chuck them in. Once a year I take them to one of those machines in supermarkets where you pour coins in and it gives you proper money back. I have done this for years and normally it gets me a Christmas bonus of around £50-£70 a year.

If you take them to a bank
then you get all the money back- what percentage do those machines charge?

Don't you have to sort them into denominations
to take them to a bank? I think the machines charge a few percent, but you can just pour the bags in.

You lazy bastard.
Get some of those plastic coin bags from the bank, make a lovely cup of tea, put radio four on & sort them out yourself.
