Change into Notes?

[j.puddleduck]

If I took, let's say, ten �1 coins into a shop, would I be able to get it in a note? I'm asking this because I have too much loose change in my purse and I need a note!

Thanks :)

You can certainly ask.  After all sometimes people ask for change (from a bank note to coins) so why not the other way round.  But I think it would be better to use all that change to pay for some essential purchase that you would make anyway.  Or even ask at a bank or building society.

you can do this and most shops will oblige. When you pay for goods, you can pay in loose change, but I believe there is a limit to how much they will take, can't remember what the limit is now (age is a terrible thing you know!)

Unlikely in a shop, but if you had a tenner, it would only be a matter of time before that became loose change...  Try a bank.  If you have ten one pound coins I can give you a note - C#

A lot of shops these day dont have the access to open a till without a transaction.  BUt a corner shop would.

Most small shops are really keen to get change like that - they'll swap it for you no problem. It's only really the big boys where you can't open your till without a transaction or a manager's override that they'll refuse. But if all else fails there is always the bank.....

Not if you bring it into the corner shop I work at.  As some of the staff tell people who ask for things like this: "It says Londis outside, not Lloyds (Bank)"
