I've got about £25 of savings in change in a bottle, i want to put it into my account, but how do i do it? There's alot! I've seen a machine in a bank in a shopping centre that counts up coins, do i have to use one of those?

or as its only £25, why not go to a CoinStar machine and donate a bit to charity at the same time?
If you chose to use one of those machines it will give you larger demoninations but they take a cut (I think the one at my local supermarket takes 8%).
Yeah thats what I do. Gives about 6% to charity. Plus I find it fun to watch the amount go up as the machine makes funny noises, but that might just be me!
Nah, its me too! Its really good fun watching the money mount up. And there always seems to be more than you predicted. Only problem is you always end up with one coin that just isn't accepted no matter how many times you try.
They have them in Sainsbury's. We used to save all our change up in our student house, then take it to Sainsbury's and spend all the money on booze
or the 1 Euro coin, which you never realised you had until it falls out the bottom..theres always one!
If they refuse to take MONEY, threaten to close your account as they won't allow you to put money in
That'll save you counting it all out
