give them to charity - they might take them off your hands, and you'd never miss them, although it wouldn't surprise me if the charity would tell you to keep it - too much hassle for them etc...

They are ok if you happy loosing between 9.5% and 19 %
Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.

I had the same issue recently, went to the banks and they would not count it so I gave a big bag and tin of coins to Trocaire in Cork, they have a counting machine and will issue a receipt if you need. There was €137 to my surprise in it so thats my good deed done for the next few months, and as Bogball says you dont miss them.

Pay a young necce or nephew 20 - 30 to do it for you . Or if you know anyone in retail such as Dunnes , they have coin sorters.

In work we have jars on the tables for "Coppers for Kids" our charity committee come round  every so often and lift the money, they have raised a lot of money this way.

Give they away

They dont give you money back...They give you a credit note for the shop that the machine is in!!!!
