    Anyone know where in Dublin you can go in and put your loose change in a machine its counts it for you and you get cash for it for a small comission of course? They have these machines in most supermarkets in the states

    If you have any decent amount of coinage, get some proper coin bags from your bank... count them all out... and bobs your uncle ;)
    9% is a bit of a piss-take tbh.
    Or if you don't have time to count them all out, give them to an unemployed friend and have him do it for a 9% cut... sure all they do is sit around the house all day anyway, I'd say he'd be delighted.
    You'd easily have a hundred euro counted out in an hour... so you're píssing away 9 euro on a machine to do it for you... it's such a shamefull waste.
    Bring back the 80's tbh... a penny saved is a penny earned. :D

    I saw one of these machines before and thought who the hell would bother using that? Oh..I think its in the Spar on Glenageary roundabout maybe. Unless your a busker I dont see why you would use one of these..:confused:

    Well I used to be a lounge boy, and all the coins from my tips went into a jar.
    It took hours to sort all the coins.
    That would have come in really handy, once I picked out the €1,€2 and 50c coins.
