Why are you reluctant to go the bank ? I either change mine at the bank or spend it. The blokes face in tesco last week when I banged £45 in pound coins at him was priceless.

Good grief.. you're worried about 200 coins ? *lol*. When you start hitting larger numbers, you find the best place to change them up is bingo halls or casinos. They generally don't care.

£200 in coinds is good for me as I don't usually win on machines so rarely have a stack of coins
Its only since I sussed out jailbirds that I've started to win. Its been kind to me lately, frequently drops £70

Yep i've not yet had a Jailbirds £35 JP not do a £70 top. Also had the £105 off the swags once too.

How did you get the swags? Did you go round the board and collect them?

Yep. I've tried Hi/Lo in them straight away and its not worked so now i try and Prize them in by getting upto 4 swags then getting enough shots to get the last swag off 1 of the levels.

Thats pretty much a standard float!!!!
A bank will not query £200 in coins!!! Every day for a month maybe, but not a one off!

Any arcade will change those up for you. Anywhere else with £500 JP machines def will too and the bank may not 'change up' too many coins (ive never had a problem myself) but they will definately let you pay the into your account, so just do that instead! stop you losing it all the same day anyway (or at least delay it!

)

Whack them in a fortune 500 or something, get someone who works there to watch it payout ok and ask if they will change them up.
I have machines at home so don't bother 'ever' changing coins to notes. I take coins with me when I go out and bring them back with more (usually). Hate to think how many are there all in all. Well, don't hate, but you know what I mean

lol, bit of a horder arent you!? Surely it would be better to get all those coins in a bank, where they are safer and you can get interest on them! Clearly you don't *need* the money as its just sitting in the back of your machine, so why not invest it in summut?

interest is usually peanuts, so hes not missing out on much!

If you are really stuck, go into bookies find an out of the way roulette m/c put all the coins in, then print receipt go to counter and collect money in notes
