WARNING - Do not put your small change in a Coinstar machine - like they have in supermarkets. They take a percentage of whatever they count - 10% I think. So I'm on Plan B - buy things with the larger denomination coins and take the smaller ones to the bank to weigh in - along with the old £1 coins (about £16) .
Todays £14 of shopping was FREE.

I don't know about your bank, VC, but mine has a charity box on the counter for foreign coins so that's where I leave any I come across.

Most banks have stopped taking the old pound coins. The cashiers maybe nicer in Wales

According to https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/mo...s-24497677
Barclays, Santander and Nationwide and the Post Office (if you have a PO account) will let you deposit old coins. Guess who's with Lloyds.

Some banks have machines for counting small change now, or at least my local Natwest does.

The last time I went to my bank was to pay in some old £10 notes - months ago. No idea what gadgetry they have there!
