We usually give to the same man with the wee dog but twice went up with bag not there had to lug it home then saw him in square and didn't bring money back over March so he hopefully will get it then .]]> Thu, 04 Feb 2016 17:41:00 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/machine-to-change-your-old-coins_topic9247_post95809.html#95809 <![CDATA[Machine to change your old coins : In the end I gave it to a girl...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/machine-to-change-your-old-coins_topic9247_post95806.html#95806 Author: wendyhsmith

In the end I gave it to a girl collecting for a children's charity, together with the wicker basket it was in.  She later came back and gave me back the basket.

I fill up a tin at home with the shrapnel and when it's full I give it to the homeless guy that usually sits along from the Rocamar with the wee dog. However, now that I know Cubsur will take it off my hands I'll give it to him from now on. 😀]]> Thu, 31 Dec 2015 14:09:55 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/machine-to-change-your-old-coins_topic9247_post95426.html#95426 <![CDATA[Machine to change your old coins : My small change goes to the local...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/machine-to-change-your-old-coins_topic9247_post95424.html#95424 Author: cubsur

My small change goes to the local shop. I've just bought six rolls that come €1,38 with the odd eight in 1 and 2 cent coins. They need it as well, as not everything is priced ending in .05 or 0.10. 6% VAT doesn't round very easily.

Some airlines will take any small coins you have for their charity collections. BA always seem to ask as do Easyjet.

But if anyone here is giving money away, I will gladly take it off their hands!

When my wallet gets full of coins, I realise it's time to go eat out and use shrapnel as part of the tip!]]> Wed, 30 Dec 2015 19:53:59 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/machine-to-change-your-old-coins_topic9247_post95421.html#95421 <![CDATA[Machine to change your old coins : I dump all the brown ones in any...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/machine-to-change-your-old-coins_topic9247_post95417.html#95417 Author: DICEYUK

I dump all the brown ones in any charity tin I can find. Several small supermarkets have them.
Alternatively you could just chuck them in the bin.

Interesting that Ireland has decided to do away with all that useless shrapnel - 1c & 2c coins.
This follows the same move in Belgium, Finland, Hungary, Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden.
Portugal next no doubt Wink]]> Wed, 30 Dec 2015 13:05:07 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/machine-to-change-your-old-coins_topic9247_post95417.html#95417 <![CDATA[Machine to change your old coins : Traders, particularly the Chinese...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/machine-to-change-your-old-coins_topic9247_post95416.html#95416 Author: pyrman

Traders, particularly the Chinese shops, love small change. I regularly took a months worth to the chinese store just to the left of Vilanova entrance .. they`ll change it and won`t make you buy anything. Lately, I have been giving it to Bookworms ...

Would rather get shot of the lot in one foul swoop.

Why not use them in a supermarket - look for the self service machines, normally you can put a handful (and more) of coins in the payment hopper/slots - no commission to pay then!]]> Wed, 30 Dec 2015 10:55:24 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/machine-to-change-your-old-coins_topic9247_post95413.html#95413 <![CDATA[Machine to change your old coins : Hi, is there one anywhere?

Hi, is there one anywhere?  Like the ones in Sainsbury's etc where you take your coins, stick them in a machine and it gives you paper money, less commission.  Or, do Santander Totta do a similar service you can pay into your bank? I know banks in the UK do.
Thanks!
