I do save all my coppers though, and they get tipped into the machines that churns out a money voucher - after taking their cut - because I can't stand the little blighters. I wait till the jar gets very heavy (only a small plastic one).

Throwing money away in my opinion.
Get some coin bags from your bank, count it and bag it yourself and pay the full amount into your account.

Re: Where have all the £2 coins gone?
Why does Sod's Law always come into play when you are short of cash and for some reason don't want to go to the ATM/bank? You hand over your last tenner for a £1.80 purchase and the assistant says, Oh, sorry, I haven't got any fivers, so you get a 20p and four £2 coins, which you can't spend! So, it's a trip to the cash machine after all

The only drawback to counting copper is the smell it leaves on your hands.
