Loose Change..
 
..no not that extrodinary film exposing a certain US president...French loose change. Like I did in England, I put it in a pot and keep it building. In England I would bag it up and take it in to pay into my bank account, surprised at how quickly a hundred pounds would build up. I asked about how to get the rolls to cash up with here and the bank said they won't take them. So what am I supposed to do with all this loose change? Auchan would be a bit peed off if I paid for my new washing machine with 10, 20 and 50 cent coins, and it is money after all so how to bank or change it up?

Go to your bank ask for the new Plastic Money sorting things, I have found that only a bank were you hold an account will take large amounts of change. The little boy is prone to collecting my shrapnel last time around he had amassed 40 Euros worth. I sorted it went to the bank with it and they would not take it until it had been sorted into the plastic do da's.. Bit of a pain as I had already counted it twice and once more for good measure.
