Changing notes in Bank?

[MichaelAwkward]

Some HSBC branches have a coin sorting machine, you need to have an account but can deposit as much change as you want and don't lose whatever percent the machines at asda take. I give my son pocket money, which he saves and then we go cash it in to his bank account. He quite enjoys using the coin sorting machine and it helps him understand the relationship between physical cash and the money in his savings account.

They don’t hold that much though. The NatWest branch that we use at work has one which can quite often be full if several people have deposited a few hundred each and then someone with a couple of buckets worth of charity takings hits it. Obviously depends on what coins.

Lol asim - most bank branches don’t even have a vault these days, just a couple of small safes. It isn’t worth the risk keeping more notes than they need on a daily basis.

Depending on how much it is, simply say that it's spare cash that you've been saving up?

It does not work like that, if it hitting 10k+ then you best have a bloody good story or a bunch of receipts.

No one has 10k spear cash in the house unless you up to capers.

A quick look gives a price of roughly £25/Kg for capers, so £10K would be about 400Kg of capers. That's a lot of capers!

I won £500 on the fruit machine at the club, club changed it into £20 notes and I put them into a bank no questions asked.

I once knew someone who had a wheelie bin full of pound coins, he tried to move it into notes but no one wanted to know.

Not quite sure what happened in the end, but no one was taking it as you don't walk into a bank with thousands of pounds of £1 pound coins.

I'm not surprised. A wheelie bin is 240 litres in capacity, surely that would hold well over a million pound coins?

as it turns out, no, it wouldn't

The amount of £ 1,000,000 would have in 1 Pound Sterling Coins a weight of 8.75 t. A single stack of money with 1,000,000 Coins would be 2.80 km (1.74 miles) high und would have a volume of at least 1,510.97 litres.The volume is of course strictly speaking smaller. If you would melt the coins down, then you would have a volume of 1,186.71 litres.

rather have the equivalent in Joselito ham from Spain.

I think you misread, everyone seemed to point it out spot it, call his attention, to the point he unsubbed his own thread.

well they've pointed it out, my point was that nobody seems to care - it's hardly the usual hurr durr immigrant clamour is it? When this guy clearly isn't paying his due. Can OcUK get his details and report him or anything? I don't see why he should get to make money in this country and not pay his due like everyone else.

Hence why I said "depending on the amount"

While what you suggest could be interpreted as a thoughtful, prudent, and perhaps altruistic move in a law
abiding society, I somehow can’t see you being nominated as person anyone would most like to have as a neighbour.

 

[Psycho Sonny]

As it is a few grand i want to lnow IF there is a limit on how much in one go
I don`t want to be walking around town with a lot of cash if i can help it

is this a wind up?

stick the cash in the bank.

use bank transfer. to buy a car.

as for taking cash out the bank for food. why can't you pay by debit card like everyone else? hold on I'll answer it for you. it's obvious you are using black money to pay for food and pay for this car.

so why don't you do us all a favour and just pay the correct amount of tax or figure this mess you have created for yourself by yourself.

Give a ****. He's evidently earned (at least) tens of thousands here and hasn't paid his due. The NHS is close to collapse and he's buying a new car. But ohh noo some people from the internet might not want to live near me..

no that isn't how it works.

you need to be willing to report it and stand up in court as to why you reported him. basically anonymous reports go to the bottom of the list and it's a very long list. because it's anonymous they need a better reason to investigate than someone who's not willing to go to court and make a statement making a report.

as in i saw dodgy dave down the pub buying everyone drinks bragging about his holiday home in marbella when he's only paying himself £20K a year through his business. if you were willing to testify to that then it will be investigated as you are willing to say you reported it and then that can be used as the basis to investigate. if not then it goes straight to the bottom and will never be seen.

in the OP's case there are literally millions of people like him in the UK. taxi drivers. hairdressers. basically the majority of self employed people.

you would need to prove to the person taking your statement over the phone (they have an online form too) that he is living well beyond his means. as in he's buying a flashy car, lives in a decent house filled with flashy stuff. goes on several holidays per year, etc. his wife has a collection of gucci dresses/handbags, etc. so you would need to trawl through every post he's made on here. find out his address. find out what car he's buying. then collate it all and make a report. you would have course need his full name too. helpful if you had his NI number but not necessary if you have full name and address.

He's evidently earned (at least) tens of thousands here and hasn't paid his due.

You've based that accusation on the fact that he wants to buy a car using cash?

Scenario1: OP does cash-in-hand jobs and doesnt declare the profit. Uses money to buy a car.

Scenario2: OP saves up legit cash to buy car. Declares it as a capital allowance and offsets the cost against profits.

In both cases he ends up with the same car and has paid similar amount of tax. Why would he bother with the illegal tax dodge?

You may have gone off half cocked there, I didn’t suggest that people from the internet, (as you quaintly put it), nor me, might not want to live near you, although had you been my neighbour when I was driving a London taxi, I may have told you that I was having three weeks in Torquay, when I was actually off to Tahiti.
It is almost universally accepted that among regular working people, no one is enamoured of someone who “drops a dime” to the authorities.
Down here, in deepest darkest South London, it’s practically a capital offence, unless it involves someone allegedly “kiddy fiddling.”
What I was trying to convey, was that no matter how incensed you may have felt about someone screwing HMRC, voicing your feeling that you’d like to see him reported, wouldn’t fly well among many people.
Okay, so perhaps they are wrong, but that’s the way it is.
