    They're called kids. Should be a few kicking around your house/street.

    Seapoint in Salthill have a sorter / counter there I think they charge 2.9% but it's cheap compared to others

    Thanks, but I am looking for one of the ones that banks and shops use. They are €130 on ebay, but I will just need it about once a year.

    You could try some of the charity places in town, or a place like Cheshire House in Roscam.

    Then wouldn't it take you about 40+ years to make a saving on buying one vs use the commission one? :)

    Seapoint FTW.

    What's the rate for coins at Tesco? Thought they were high but maybe not?

    The coin sorter in Salthill arcade (Seapoint) only takes 2.9% which is a big saving. I use it all the time.

    Buy it, and then offer it to one of the charities that don't have one on condition that you can use it when you need to.
    Everybody wins.
