    Is there anywhere that takes coins to cash any more with charging in the east cork area?

    Bookies.

    That dark matter quantum space between the seatbelt and the carseat in de car returned 155squids when the French sounding horse won the G'National for me at 20/1 for a bag of small change.

    Tried the bank once years ago, but they charge you money for giving them money, that's right they. charge. you. money, when. you. give. them. money

    I know tis a joke with the banks that they wont take it or like that charge you for it.. Must keep the bookies in mind now for the next change bundle..Those machines are sneaky alright but at least you get a small bit back for it

    Not a guarantee of ROI...

    Use the coins in the self service tills in tesco when paying for something? When they isn't a queue behind you that is!

    They will take them, provided the coin box in the machine isn't full or nearly full. The train ticket machines start firing coins back at you at about 30 coins, and the train ones don't take 1c and 2c coins.

    I went into ptsb midleton. The lad behind the counter deposited it into my account with no fee.. Because it was bagged and counted.

    TIP* Weighing scales is you friend when bagging the money.

    Be quick though. They've copped on to this and are replacing the thingy you throw the coins into with a slot that only takes one coin at a time.

    My local aib changes coins? They just ask that it is in full bags, which isn't a problem for me as I just store them in a jar until I have enough.

    Way to go lads, making it even less palatable to put small sh!tty coins back into circulation. I honestly could not be arsd bagging them.

    That's the problem nowadays, people can't be bothered. I love bagging coins and taking them in, nothing like coming out with a couple of hundred in easy notes!

    The other places to get rid of coins is your local shop/post office they are often keen to take coins.
