i dont take a change bag with me to work anymore as most customers pay online but i do take  a bit of change(usually around £40 in change and some notes)its habit more than anything....anyway ive not counted it for months and months....

just under £400! (in £1/£2/50p/20p/10p) ....i did have a few plastic money bags so took £160 down to the post office in pound and 2 pound coins....THEY DONT EXCHANGE COINS FOR NOTES ANYMORE! ......

cash is just becoming a royal pain in the arse these days!

so im stuck with £400 worth of coins at present...

[dazmond]

WTF?

[james peters]

I put all my silvers and coppers in a tin, then Christmas time, I go to my local tescos and put them in the coin exchange.
it gives me a token which I then exchange for cash!

I get anything from 3 to 400 quid.

[Dave Willis]

I paid in over 2k in cash this week including £100 in coins.

Most of my customers pay in cash so I stockpile a large amount of notes and coins as well.  It's a nuisance when the notes or coins get changed for new ones like with the £20 notes at the moment.  Aside from paying them in at the bank I've slowly been trying to get rid of these old £20 notes at the self service checkouts when doing my grocery shopping.  It was worse with the £10 notes though a few years ago as I generally receive more of those than the £20's.

Put them in the bank; you're allowed five bags per visit.
I try and put change in the self service machine at Tesco too.

[Dave Willis]

Dazmond  used to have two bags at a time apparently.

Nat West have a big machine you can tip the lot into. It counts it, gives you a chit, you go the cashier present it and it goes in your account. Santander do the same i think.

The banks are closed aren’t they?

[deeege]

Have you considered taking up drinking, smoking and class A drugs again Daz?

That’ll deal with the problem of having too much cash knocking about.

[simon w]

Stick all of it on Lotto tomorrow

[zesty]

I use it to pay for shopping, self service machines take all my coins.

Haha...no the thought never crosses my mind these days mate.....not when I look out my window and see what 30+ years of drink and drugs has done to guys I've known for many years(the ones that are still living)....👍

Most of ours (Liverpool) are open, reduced hours/social distancing (i.e big queues) but they're open.

It’s due to a change in the law about money laundering, the bank used to swap coins for  notes now you have to pay the coins into your account then withdraw it in notes if that’s what you want .
All our jobs are straight pounds or 50p this saves carrying much change in small coins all we need is £1 coins or 50pence and a few notes .

So are mine...straight pounds,very few 50s.....I've just not bothered sorting my change out for months and months.......

[dazmond]

Hopefully  a local corner shop will be able to swap some of it for notes.....I cant be doing with all this change.....they used to years ago....not sure now with the pandemic though....

[KS Cleaning]

I usually cash them in at the bank then exchange them for euros.......looks like I’m gonna have plenty spending money for my next holiday, whenever that may be.

[Smudger]

yeah I feel your pain Daz - only this morning I found a crumpled up envelope in the van - when I looked inside it had £2000 from a cash roof clean I did before the lockdown...

im just stumped with what to do with it really .....
