Hold on a moment here.

If this was the proceeds of your business, why were you lodging them to your personal account?

In reality, this was a business transaction. You were charged a fee for it.

- the charge is unfair as it does not reflect the economic cost of the transaction (it doesn't take long to weigh that many coins.).

This was a very expensive transaction for the bank. It is not just the cost of counting them. It is the storage and transport as well. There is no way the bank recovered their costs by charging €240.

Certainly go to your bank. I would expect that they might ask you to stop being smart and take your business elsewhere.

Don't the banks have machines that count coins in a jiffy - can't see much cost to this? Also in some places the banks just weigh the coins instead of counting them.

From ECONOMIC AND MONETARY UNION ACT, 1998 SECTION 10

'No person, other than the Central Bank of Ireland and such persons as may be designated by the Minister by order, shall be obliged to accept more than 50 coins denominated in euro or in cent in any single transaction.'

the fact is my company was charged 240 for lodging the coin to my personal account and these accounts are totally unrelated if i lodged 24k in cash i would still have been charged a fee which i think is 22 cent per hundred which is 52.80.

Are you seriously trying to say that you paid 12,000 coins into a bank and you expect them to handle them free of charge?

ok if i was on the other side of the fence and walked into a bank which i had no account in and had 50k in legitimate cash to put into a savings account or deposit account would they tell me i would have to pay a bank charge for putting the money on deposit for example at 22 cent per hundred which amounts to 110 euro,now i would have 49890 or would they be glad of the new business.

Don't the bank have an obligation to quote any fees or charge up front, like normal businesses would do?
