Really Good Fake Pound Coins

[BigVend]

90% of our jams are caused by this, we tell the sites to give the handle a hard knock as sometimes it can free the coin.

We also get sites who just don't bother calling us when it's jammed, we get there and they say 'it's been jammed for weeks' but cannot be bothered or intelligent enough to phone the number on the machines......

yep "Vending apathy" is a big pronlem with an increasing minority of sites now.
i know some sites dont actually want the towers anymore but they feel uncomfatable asking you to take them out as they know you have done nothing wrong.
its almost like they think you will take it out of your own free will if it keeps getting jammed.
I assume this is the case, as it seems to be when a pub changes hands half the time they want the towers removed cos they dont know you and are not willing to give you a chance!
This really hacks me off, anyone else have this problem??

Hows that work with HSBC do you have to bag it first then they check???

No, if you pay in via plastic money bags over the counter anywhere they never check to my knowledge, as they don't have any equipment to do so. Same as every branch.

What we use are the very large coin paying in machines that are in a small number of the newer HSBC branches (there are similar machines in some Barclays as well). You just pour big bags of assorted coins into it and it counts them and credits the total to your bank account. It also checks every coin and rejects fakes and tokens. It's great for paying in bigger amounts, as we often pay in £2-3k in one go and it takes a few minutes to do it, whereas counting that much into bags of 20 would be a real pain. They also have a note machine that takes notes if we get too many change-ups.

When I banked with Barclays three years ago I gave up on those machines as they seemed to jamm up every banking and none of the branch staff had been trained to un jamm it.
They had to call out a service engineer before they could credit the money to my account.
Needless to say, I no longer bank with Barclays, what a Joke!

Hopefully HSBC machines are more reliable, we dont have them in Lowestoft Branch??

...so you enter your account number / swipe card first and then pour in the coins, to be clear they don't charge you for cash counting, sounds good. What happens to the fake coins though, are they retained by the machine or returned to you in a refund bin? It's just that usually counterfeit is retained by the bank when detected and it's your loss.

Correct:

1. Swipe card or enter number
2. Pour in and wait
3. Get receipt for payment and collect rejected coins from refund slot.

Problem is that very very few branches have one yet.
