Bit of a strange one, but I have the following coins bagged up, and just wondered if I could save a shop owner a trip to the bank, or any fees you might pay (dunno about that)
I have
£60 in 20p
£15 in 10p
£5 in 5p
£4 in 2p
£2 in 1p
I will take £86 for the lot, bargain eh!
Feel free to spread the word, if not I will bank it Monday.
@Pauline @TheArchieParker @Finches_Sports
If you do bank it let me know how much they charge. We also have around £80 bagged up looking at us. The tin it is in is labelled “Mommy and Daddies running away fund”. The girls are not amused.
Natwest don’t charge a bean @Londondrz for customers anyway lol.
Couldn’t bear to put it into one of those, now greedy, machines. 9.9% indeed!
Not a NatWest fan after their recent cock up with me. 9.9%!! They are extracting the urine!
I have been issue free with them for years, so won’t ask what happened lol.
9.9 is those cash machines in Sainsburys etc. I have seen some charge more!
They lied to me but I caught them out. They are now “investigating”.
Not good at all mate. Bunch of bankers eh!
When I lived in Camberwell I took all my change to the Natwest there. They had a “Coin Star” style machine so didn’t even have to bag the coins. Of course you had to be a customer and it was deposited into your account.
My other half recently took quite a large stash over several days to the Barclays in FH. He bagged it using a coin counter but they didn’t charge and seemed happy to take it all in.
Worth checking though if your bank has a branch with a Coin Star machine inside.
I really dont fancy a schlep all the way to Sydenham though.
I have seen similar on some branches before, but never locally. Shame really.
Santander Forest Hill take coins at no charge provided they are bagged in their bags.
Awesome, thank you.
Always!! If you ever have more we will happily swap x
Excellent, still got this lot, so if you want it, let me know and I will run it up to you whenever a good time is for you @StDavid
We always seem to be swamped with small change at The Archie Parker - but if anyone is walking around with 50p, £1 or £2 coins we’d always happily change those up!
Excellent idea
The collective noun for bankers is “a wunch”.
If you bank with HSBC a few of their branches have coin-counting machines so you can deposit the contents of the piggy bank straight into your a/c. No fees. Branches in Croydon and Cannon St have them, I believe.
All banked now
