neeeeeeeeeek Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 The change machines started at 3 or 4% and have been going up ever since. Either way, if I am in the shop and the tills take it, then sod the robbing change machine! I can reliably report that the Tesco self service tills will take lots and lots of coppers. It's not exactly fast though, after a while it rejects them and you have to wait 5 or 10 seconds before chucking more in. I am now the proud owner of some extra strong white flour, paid for mostly with shrapnel. And there is plenty more where that came from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 You could always buy a coin sorting machine. I've got a big laundry basket over half full of 1ps and 2ps, god knows how much is in there, couple of hundred quid at least I reckon. I'm keeping adding to it until it gets full or until they scrap copper coins, whichever happens first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nataliie Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Doesn't the coin thing at asda just give you a receipt to use for your shopping? Obviously without stealing any of the money you put in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it only contains coppers then you can simply weigh it and divide the weight (in grams) by 3.56 to give the amount in pence (as coppers are 3.56g/penny) jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nataliie Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Eeeeeek!!!!..that's worse!!!! Why? They're obviously going to be buying food if they're going to a self checkout, might as well just get a receipt from that coin one in asda. Otherwise, yes I agree its worse than taking a percentage.

Happ Hazzard Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 It gives you a reciept that you can use for shopping or exchange for cash at the till. With the 8% taken off of course. Maybe they should make it so you can get the full value if you use it for shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nataliie Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Ohhh, I didn't realise it took the 8% as well! What's point in that, they'd still be getting your money for the shopping.. Hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
