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?

Banks vary quite a bit on this. When I first got a current account in 1992
one of the considerations was the ability to pay in loose coins. Even then
some banks wouldn't take them out of hours. Now even my bank is switching
its payin machines from "deposit an envelope" to "feed in the notes and
cheques" with no cash option.

What the heck are people meant to do with their loose change? Debit cards
haven't totally taken over the universe yet.
