Is it not possible to take the money to bank, particularly where one might
have an account, rather than to go through one of those counting machines?
Last time I did that they almost threw me out. But seeing as there
wasn't a queue they counted it and accepted it and told me not to do it
again. I think they normally require bulk change sorted, bagged and
weighed, which they can then quickly check by re-weighing.
Which is what I do. Because I'm nice like that :-)
They want 100 pennies, 50 tuppences or 100 five pence pieces in a bag.
Not sure above that.
You can get the bags from any high street bank and I've never had a
problem with using the "wrong" bank's bag...
