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.

Bollocks
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.

It's not store credit
They give you cash.

If it were my shop I'd give it back to you in change
just to teach you not to be a cunt with your money.

Ah, that's where I got the 20 thing from, the penny thing.

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

Not around here they don't
They don't like cash at all. It's very odd.

I meant to add "as long as you are paying it into an account".

I recall the missus trying to pay a few bags of cash into Lloyds
There was a limit. Mind you, she is suing them for something.

Post Offices

Yeah. Dirty fuckers that they are.
I'll stamp their Giro...

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).
