I don't have a guess, but I had two slightly-smaller-than-pint-size glasses (think 450-500ml) filled with coins (ok, one was overflowing, the other wasn't quite full). That had anything up to £1 in though.

Got around £60 for that little lot, not sure how much it weighed - would have thought 3kg+ - but can't say for sure!

Watch out tho, I those machines have a setting where you can donate your change to charity. Was waiting in a supermarket foyer a couple of years back and all of a sudden heard a "Nooooooo!" come from the guy who'd just donated his savings :D

Oh how i laughed.

You can actually (with a bit of jiggerypokery / reading the screen properly) get those machines to do you a full receipt for the amount of shrapnel you put in, then toddle over to the customer service desk and demand your cash, if I errr....recall*

(assuming you're doing your bit for charity elsewhere of course, you won't feel guilty)

*Yes, I worked there many moons ago, and had a lot of stingy Manchester** people do this. Repeatedly. Each weekend.

**I have no grudge against any Mancunians. Honest.

Hmm.. I'll have a looksee, I'm always giving money to charity, I pay tax, and the government gives my money to those less fortunate for me. Its a good system........
