Why not simply spend the coins?
Pay for a newspaper, milk, a pint here and there, and in no time all the coins will be gone.
Why?I actually buy coins off the lotto person at work. I give them 50 euro for 1 and 2 coins, maybe some 50c coins.
Why?Maybe I am obsessive-compulsive???
What I've done in the past is counted all of my euro, two euro and 50c coins and bagged them. I've never been charged to lodge them or exchange for cash in Ulster bank. Personally I couldnt bear to count out the rest of the 1c, 2c etc's so I fire them into the coin machine in Super Valu. Its worth the 8% commission charge for the amount of time it saves me.
Or just count and bag them manually and save yourself the price of the coin counting machine. It's not that difficult. Keep the kids out of the way if it is.Just a thought you could buy one of those coin counting machines from somewhere like Powercity. That would save you the 8% commission.
If there was a Post Of The Month, this would be on my shortlist.I have a digital kitchen weighing scales so when I was counting coins today I only counted the first lot of each coin then weighed the rest. It worked a treat as I was bang on when I got to the bank. Maybe someone else might find use out of this. It definitely speeds up the process!
