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.

Beats having to stand in queue.

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

Spend it or save it, I guess.
