piggy bank

Post by Lofos-5 »

One of my sons wants to change his coins (mainly 1, 2 and 5 cents :shock: ) into something more useful (i.e. one 5 Euro note...).
Will BOC do this or any other place that would comply with his wish?

TIA, A.

I think there’s a limit on how much small change they’ll accept. They do have a counting machine but charge a percentage. Rules might be different for children though.

Thanks all - will give it a try. Failing a good result will donate the coins to one of the charity boxes in the shops and re-imburse him myself...

Yes, that’s what I said but you get charged even if you’re a customer
