What to do with a big bag of coins?

In local Supervalu they have a box which will accept Euro and foreign coins as charity donation (Goal). We have a lot of foreign coins and I am always loathe to bin them, now they have a new home/purpose!
 
Isn't there some limit on the number of coins which are actually legal tender for a certain transaction? I don't think I can go into a shop with 999 1cent coins to buy something for €9.99.

I think the omniscient MOB (or was it UDS) posted on the old board way back that the limit was 50 coins.
 
Most of your small local newsagents have a large turnover of small change.Especially the sweetshop types.They always have to pay the bank for coinage.So,I'm sure,with the right approach you could loose the jingle and go home with six crispy 50's and a free herald!!!!!
