Cash Receipt

I converted the various collections of coins in our house into more manageable currency to use towards a big birthday celebration.

Some banks won't take small change now! That's worth more than a cup of coffee!

[JackieR]

@maggiemae some here have machines to pay directly into your account, mine doesnt- so I paid a10.9% fee!! But the coins had been out of mind for years so no loss

[Susan Wakely]

Every penny counts.

[Joan Robillard]

They had a machine at the bank that counted up the coins, but it was found out that it routinely cheated customers and they had to take it out.

[Casablanca]

What a brilliant idea. I have seen the machines but never used one

[Valerie Chesney]

Oh Jackie.. You made me look in my "leftovers" drawer & I found coins & notes from 5 different countries. i must look into this! 🤔

[Kathy A]

It’s amazing how it all adds up

[JackieR]

@kjarn it is!
@happysnaps I had a few euros, cents, dimes and kuna!!
@casablanca beware the charge!!
@joansmor wickid bankers!!
@wakelys certainly does!

[wendy frost]

Great use of your coin collection. I have a penny pot that weighs very heavy so never gets taken to the machine in the supermarket one of these days I will have to get my wheelbarrow out.

[katy]

Clever of you to combine it into something manageable and useful. I like the story your photo tells and your colorful money

[JackieR]

@wendyfrost I used awaste paper bin as I'd thought I'd sorted out the foreign clods, and then took it from car in a shopping trolley
@grammyn purple £20 notes and two tone £2 coins did make for a shiny snap!!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Our money is so boring

[Merrelyn]

A 10.9% fee seems pretty steep. We try to get rid of most of our foreign currency (especially coins) before we leave a country.

[Taffy]

Clever image...reminds me of converting piggy bank coins into something easily carried around

[KoalaGardens🐨]

ooooh better to spend them than hoard them!

[Esther Rosenberg]

Go wild :-)

[Kathy]

The coins are quite colorful.

[Pyrrhula]

Coins, a long time not used. Still have some collected and for spare .
@30pics4jackiesdiamond. At the horizon. Kidding. The pov. makes it looks like that far.

[Shutterbug]

Nicely arranged for the shot.

[JackieR]

@shutterbug49 woman at kiosks suggestion to photograph it!!

[summerfield]

that's a good sum, ain't it?

[JackieR]

@summerfield it might buy a gallon of petrol and a loaf!!!

[Mary Siegle]

I love the two-tone two pound notes. Great photo idea!

[JackieR]

@mcsiegle our plastic notes are pretty, apparently £50 notes are red!!!
