    Can someone walk into a bank and ask to withdraw say 10 euros in coins?

    Would it be regarded as cheeky, or a bit annoying?

    €10 in coins isnt that bad with €1 and €2 coins. Its not that your asking for €100.

    Of course you can, it's your money and they're lucky to have you as a customer. Ask for €1,000 in 1c coins if you like.

    They will provide you with whatever you want if they have it available. If however they consider it a commercial transaction due to the amount you are looking for, they will probably charge you standard commercial rates (dont know what these are though)

    My mate once got £10 in coppers from the bank to pay a small fine in school... Even ended up getting to keep the fine.

    They won't give it to you though as no bank holds €1000 euro in 1c coins on the premises, you can order it and it would costyou.
    bad advice.
