Haven't you just tried it already so?I shop mainly in supervalue on these machines
Anyone know if there is a cash limit or would it take say a mixed bag of copper coins to a max of a €5 say?
5 euro in coppers? It’s not the machines you have to worry about. It’s the rage generating in the queue behind youI just tried it in supervalu today with €6.50 in cash and then pay by card for the balance,
and it all went through smoothly which is great and thanks for that guys.

I have a pile of them myself, but do 1c coins actually still exist in the real world these days?1 and 2 cent coins mightn't be accepted.
They still exist, but are rarely seen because of rounding at the till. I know I've put coins into the self service tills which were rejected - I think they were the 1c and 2c.I have a pile of them myself, but do 1c coins actually still exist in the real world these days?
1. Rustbucket is right, there is nothing worse than waiting in a queue while somebody puts one coin at a time into the slot (and some of them argue with themselves on what coin is next). In the meantime your ice cream is melting and your fish beginning to smell.5 euro in coppers? It’s not the machines you have to worry about. It’s the rage generating in the queue behind you
I saw that hack on google all right but to be honest I'm not interested in loading up the machine with coins only to1.

2. (i) Often I'd have over €100 amassed in various coins and I use Dunnes Stores to pay for groceries at the self service tills.
(ii) The coin slot is attached to a flap that can easily be raised and you can slide €100 worth of coins through in seconds. The machine automatically sorts and accepts the coins and displaces useless coins and washers. All this with minimum delay. Even change is given in larger denomination coins.
3. Dunnes Stores don't charge for accepting coins. Some stores do when you use separate coin change area.
4. Don't forget to lift the flap for quicker exit and a more patient queue behind.
Fancy! I heard their machines don’t accept coins anyway. Notes only in D4I was in Tescos in Merrion today and they had a cash only self-service till.
As I had cash, I was able to skip the queue.
I have often seen "card payment only" tills but I had not noticed a cash only one before.
