My nephew used one of them a while ago and he was charged a small fortune. I can't remember exactly what he was charged, but he had €50.00 in change and was charged something like €5.00.

The charge 10% regardless of whether you take a voucher that can be cashed at Customer Service or a voucher that can be used on groceries in Tesco. The signs on the machines are very misleading.

Why not buy non-perishable food with the coins?

Used it in tesco. 10% fee on the machine, but worth it unless you want to count them yourself into little plastic bags, bring it to the bank and told you have to lodge it into your account.

Ive a big box of change (the biggest problem with the euro) but i wouldnt go near those machines.

10% charge as said already....

If you do use it you might take out the €2, €1, 50c coins. Easier to count yourself plus will help keep the charge down

Banks charge shops for change. Try changing it in a local shop

Use it to pay for a few bus fares, the driver would be glad of the change! Or use it on the vending machines.

maxfresh

Just go into tesco ,buy a load of stuff and pay for it in the self service till ,just pour all ur change into the coin slot thingy , no 10% charge :cool:

face1990

If you've got a big load of coins it's well worth the 10% charge. I'm not bringing hundreds of copper coins with me when I go shopping :P

Used one only today in a Spar or Eurospar. 12.5% sure no bother can't be arsed counting that filthy pissy money and having to get it changed anyway. Came to about 18 something and I got 16 something back.

Really though? For the sake of a few quid at most?
It saves you hours of time, and you can do it on your way to do the shopping, so you aren't making extra trips.

This is economics of the madhouse. It's no wonder the country is in the state it's in.

Yes, coin counting machines have brought the downfall of the country.

Why in the name of fup in this day and age do we even have any coins smaller than 5p/c ?

Used to do that (the only time Id ever use one of the damn things TBH) but lately they seemed to have changed the software and Ive sometimes found myself with more small change than ive put in

Banks have restrictions on coin transactions. It's only allowed at certain times. Nobody wants to be stuck behind someone, 1c, 2c, 3c oh look 5c ... Now where was I... Oh have to start over again!

Plus dont coins have to be bagged 100 in 1c coins etc... Very doubtful from a buch of random change that you can make even amounts in bags and it's a pain in the ass to count that much change

Not to mention, it weighs a ****load

westendgirlie

Why oh why would you give 10% of your money to those machines? May aswell throw a tenner in the bin! Who owns them anyway?

If you can't be arsed counting it then get a young relative to do it for you. Then give them the 10%.

Once you have the coins put into bags in the correct amount before you go in you won't be holding up a queue. The teller doesn't have to count them in front of you. Don't they have scales to weigh the bags?

If this is something one has to do regularly there are coin sorting/counting machines one can buy

Capt'n Midnight

give a hand full to your nieces or nephews for chistmas or birthday presents

longshanks

If you live near an arcade bring your 10¢, 20¢ and 50¢ coins there. No charge, just have them separated into the different denominations.
I gave that arcade change, arcades love change...

Alzy

I was gonna use one of these machines in Tesco but decided against after reading this thread. So I counted out 30 quid in 20 cent coins and brought it to Tesco. My shopping was only 13 euro and I used it on the self service. The coin slot can take hand full of coins so it was easy.

I just didn't want to give the machine company 10% for me being lazy. The self service in Tesco is gonna be getting a lot of change over the next few weeks

Yeah I clearly lost the run of myself there. I mean, paying the price of a choco bar to have a bagful of coppers counted for me. Wtf leik?
