I fill a Quality Street tin
It's usually about £40. Plus I like the noise it makes as you pour it into the machine at the supermarket.

You pour your money in a machine, it takes about 7% from you for the trouble.
Then you get a voucher that you can cash in in the shop.

So basically it's a machine which charges you for having money.
What sort of idiot no-brained spasticated cunt would use a machine like that? 7%? Fuck me, that's worse than some bank loans.
Here's an idea, just give the shrapnel to the woman at the till. She's not allowed to refuse it.

Of course she can refuse it
You can refuse anything over twenty coins of any denomination. Shut up.

Not quite as clear cut as that on the legal tender rules
but if you're going to allow machines like that to exist, it's a massive disregard to money, capitalism and the whole idea of what you make money for. I might as well introduce a 7% poverty tax on anyone who wants to pay me in coins, if I were a trader.

the machine charges a fee for providing a convenient service...more or less a perfect example of capitalism.

It charges a fee for converting perfectly good cash into store credit
Any cunt who willingly pays for a service like that is a premium-grade 700bn dollar bail-out hydrocephalic moron.

The bank usually accepts it all.
As long as it's in bags in the correct denomination and amounts on the bag.
£10 in 20p's
£5 in 10p's
£5 in 5p's
£1 in 2's
£1 in 1's

it's nothing to do with poverty.
If you're in poverty, you don't accumulate £50-worth of change, you spend it bit by bit because you don't have the option of just handing over a note.
The 7% is a tax on not having to be arsed bagging up all your change in the correct amount/denominations to hand it over at the bank no more than five bags at a time, not having to feel embarrassed holding up a queue while you count out shrapnel at the shops, and the convenience of being able to take the big bag of change to the supermarket (where you would go anyway) in order to change it into a store voucher (for a store where you would be shopping anyway).

They'll only take 5 bags without prior notice
But you were willing to lose over six quid of all that cash, just for the sake of making a phone call to your local branch?
