What do you do .....
 

... with your 1p's and 2p's and 5p's? And if you stick them in a jar where do you take them to get changed - the bank, the coin machine at asda, post office or just spend them ...

BBC NEWS | Business | The cost of cashing in your coins

Coinstar who operates the coin counting machines are putting up the % you pay to use the machine ..

I have a big whiskey bottle that i got from the pub many many many years ago. I always count mine out and stick them in the cash bags and take them to the post office or the credit union.
