So I just took all my change that I have collected to Asda...

And came out with £184 :cool:

Very nice.

Did you take it in a dump truck?

POB · 2 Jul 2007 at 19:35

Or you could have £200 if you took it to a bank instead.

And lost several hours of his life sorting the coins first... How much is time worth?

Glaucus · 2 Jul 2007 at 19:38

Nice going, I usually get £60ish from my 1 1/2pint mug..

V4NT0M · 2 Jul 2007 at 19:43

I think I only have about £5 in my bowl...

Please sir I want some more.

Relentless · 2 Jul 2007 at 19:47

I got a 5 litre demijon (sp?) that was just over half full.

Azagoth · 2 Jul 2007 at 19:49

£17.64 here, I cashed in quite a bit a while back to get my Dad a present for Fathers day.

What is this about? Can you get change made into "real money" more easily? (I get annoyed as one has to have a certain number of any given coin, and it always happens that one does not have this amount [or a multiple of this amount]).

I got £40 the other day for about three years worth of coins. I tend to only collect 1p 2p 5p and 10p's though. Anything else I carry out with me!

It's a good idea though to do that heheheh!

Places like Asda frequently have a change counting machine. It charges you a small amount (I think it's like 2% or something) but it makes the whole process so much easier.

That is useful. I have loads of coins (not worth much [maybe £10]), but the collection now begins.

It took me about 10 mins to get everything into the machine, I put anything under £1 in it.

I really dont like change in my pockets.

markk · 2 Jul 2007 at 20:00

what does it give you in return? a receipt to take to the tills?

7.5p of every £1, 7.5%!
