Basically I have a large bag of change which I don't particularly have time to sort. How much do those "change to cash" machines charge at Asda/Tesco? I know they charge, just not how much and google seems to have thrown up some varying results.
 
Thats because it varies!

Some banks have them installed that will deposit straight into your account (HSBC for sure)
 
Those machines charge you ????

Blimey ... I've seen one at my local sainsburys and i thought what it did was count the change and print a voucher off for the full value that you can hand in at the till when paying for your shopping - as well as sorting the coins so they can be bagged up or used in the tills.

Never used it - but will take a very close look next time.

I've used one in Sainsburys once, it took a fair bit... I think between 4-7%
 
Easy and free option is to use a self checkout till - just load in the coins and anything overwhat you have bought comes back as notes and higher value coins

Somewhere around 7-10p per pound usually.

seems a bit pointless - since these are places people have to shop at regularly then if you've gone to the effort to lug your change down there then you might as well simply use to to do your shopping....

throw slack handfuls of it into the self service tills - will count it for you for free - simples

change machine imposing a 7-10% haircut & located in a supermarket = tax on stupidity...
 
I'd say it's a tax on lazyness.

I personally cannot be ***** counting it out. Most of mine is one/two/five pence anyway and given that I have a large bag full I'd rather get it sorted in one fell swoop.
 
I used one of these a few months back just before I moved house. Didn't expect to have more than £10-15, end result was closer to £30 I think.

I seem to recall it took 8p per pound.
