Stronger prescription spectacles?I have a box of coins belonging to my mother. I had begun sorting them with a view to throwing them into one of those money bins. I discovered the charge is 10%, so I'm not doing that.
That led me down a rabbit hole of valuable euro coins. It seems some are worth a few bob!
I'm struggling to see what year some of the coins are. I've tried the phone photo etc but it isn't helping much.
Has anyone any tips?
Thanks in advance.
Possibly. I'm due a check up.Stronger prescription spectacles?
Yes, especially the other countries. The irish ones are easier to read.Is it that the dates are difficult to read?
Some of the euro coins are worth more than their face value, really?That led me down a rabbit hole of valuable euro coins. It seems some are worth a few bob!
Fill a glass with coca-cola and leave the coins in it overnight. It cleans them.Yes, especially the other countries. The irish ones are easier to read.

Indeed it does clean them, of that there is no doubt.Fill a glass with coca-cola and leave the coins in it overnight. It cleans them.
If you have a post office (an post) savings book account they will allow you deposit bagged up euro 1c,2c,5c to your a/c. So you don't have to pay 10% commission on those awful coin machines. Get the coin bags in AIB etc. I usually have up to 50 euro in small change after a year so its not a lot but worth depositing.I have a box of coins belonging to my mother.

That'll work. But there's a much, much easier way. On your regular supermarket visits, bring along a bag of coins, say 10 to 20 euros or so. When your shopping is totted up, hand over the coins. The checkout operator will count them up, key in the amount and the till calculates the remaining balance. Which you then pay by card.If you have a post office (an post) savings book account they will allow you deposit bagged up euro 1c,2c,5c to your a/c.

No, they don't have to take bags of coin as payment, and most of them will not take large amounts.That'll work. But there's a much, much easier way.

Job done. No fuss, no 10% commission, no unnecessary trip to the post office or bank. Repeat weekly until all coins are gone.
Absolutely correct, they don't HAVE to. But most do, certainly for amounts in the 10 - 20 euro bracket. I've been doing it for years and never once been refused.No, they don't have to take bags of coin as payment, and most of them will not take large amounts.
