I want to know of any useful and innovative ways to get rid of it.

You can get some money bags from the bank and pay it in in measured amounts, or use one of the sorting machines at your local supermarket. There is a small charge for that though. Or go to your local council office and pay your council tax with it.

I cashed nearly 68 pounds worth of coins a couple of weeks back at sainsburys store they have a cash machine that sorts it out for you and then you receive a receipt and simply cash it in. The thing i liked about this was that a small amount goes to charity about 6pence out of every pound(i presume we are talking engl.ish money here?) anyway if that doesn't appeal to you try the post office as long as you sort it into bags that should be fine.

A bank cannot refuse to accept genuine money. For coins of all denominations sort them into money bags - you can get these from your bank
If a bank issue a note/coin it is forever more obliged to pay the holder of that note/coin the stated amount of money - even if it is no longer in circulation.

Asda have a coin counting machine but the charge to use it is quite high. Get some coin bags from a local bank and bag them up. Keep different value coins apart. Count carefully, they weigh them. Treat yourself with the proceeds.

Depends on the bank, but you will have to sort the coins out yourself and put them into plastic money bags.
Woolworths do an electric coin sorter for about £20 - £25

Yes they will. But in my local Tesco they have a money changing machine. Its got a big tray just pour all your money into it, it does not have to be sorted it will sort through it for you and about 30 seconds later it will convert it onto a voucher that you can either spend at the till or go to the customer service desk and they will cash it for you. I think Sainsbury's have the machine aswell.

Depends on the bank. Some Sainsburys have got machines that will exchange them for a Shopping Voucher

Ask the bank for little bags and then you have to count it up yourself.
Big supermarkets are now accepting them, just pour it into a machine BUT you have to pay 8% commission. My mum often pays her council tax in pennies, and makes the buggers count it!!

Try the arcades in Matlock? They still have machines that take 2p's. Give the pennies to a charity shop...
