    What do you all do with your loose change.

    You know,get up the next morning after a night out and your pockets may be full of shrapnel.

    I have been chucking my loose change into a few jars about the house....came home today and wife has said there is almost £300...happy days,will pay a few bills.

    BUT.....how the * can i change all the 1p,2p,5p,10p,20,50p etc into notes...cos i dont think the post office will want a pile of coinage to count.

    anyone else do this?

    I don't know, Bob. But if you have 3 dollars I could spare, forgot to go to the bank last night. :54:

    buy one of these:



    We we first got married my husband had 4 huge coffee cans full of change. I think it came out to about $300, and most of it was in pennies! Keeping one in the kitchen and a drawer full of paper rolls nearby means we always have another source of ready cash if we need it (and we do!)

    I do that - comes in handy when you're a bit short of funds :icon_mrgreen:

    I just take it to the bank and get them to change it to notes for me - you just have to have the correct amounts in the money bags and don't mix the coins :50:

    Asda sounds like a good idea.

    The rates office has stopped people paying at their office,otherwise they would be getting it slapped on their counter.

    I keep an empty 2Ltr bottle in my room and put change in it daily. It was 3/4 full just before Xmas and I changed it for £170! Get the little bags from the bank/post office and they weigh them to make sure the right amount is there.

    I take mine into ASDA but I'm a lazy *. If it's that amount of money I'd bag it and take it to the bank to save yourself the percentage (7.9p per pound) they take off.

    gotta bag it up in the right amounts for the bank to take it but if like me you just dont give a * take it in and ask for some money bags and do it right there on the counter
    beleive me they even start helping you to get you out in fact sometimes they just ask you how much is there if your taking an age and i suppose you could add on 3 or 4 quid cos they dont weigh it at my bank
